    There have been some console exclusive stuff in the past.

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    Yes. On Xbox check out the Star Trek Online Microsoft Store add-ons page. From time to time they have freebies there. Currently there should be a Verdant Multibarrel Phaser Pistol pack with the pistol and a Ship upgrade token.

    In the past they have had packs with banks slot, xp boosts, inventory slots, and even lockbox keys. Just check the store every now and then. From past experience the packs are usually released around the same time as new content. So there may be a new pack in the horizon with the release of Ascension, but that's just a guess at the moment.

    Not really any point looking for stuff around the web, but keep an eye on the 'Addons' in the PlayStation/Xbox stores because whenever there's a content drop, there tends to be a free pack with some nice little goodies. Don't expect anything ground-breaking, but these things are certainly nice to have.
    Currently, there's a Free Elite Bridge Officer token in the Promotions tab of the Z-Store. This was also a giveaway on PC and is promoting these new tokens being made available in the Z-Store.
    However, what PC players didn't get is the 'Token-3-Pack' which is being given to Consoles by way of apology for the troublesome updates that came mostly during October.

    Console player here, can confirm @rattler2 's claims, PS+ members had the ugly TWoK monster maroon uniforms for years, we've also gotten free uniforms like Discovery and lamer Picard uniforms as well as the Cobalt Cadet Pack, Cobalt Sword Pack, Cobalt Pet Pack, Cobalt Pack, Seven's Cobalt Dual Tetryon Rifles, Cobalt Ba'ul Weapons Pack and Cobalt Zhat Vash Disruptor pistols.

    A new giveaway has been added to the xbox store. It's the Ascension Exclusive Verdant Courier Antiproton Hand Cannon Pistol which looks to come with a Captain upgrade token as well.

    There was a new giveaway added to the xbox store today. Containing a Courier pistol and one Elite Captain upgrade token.

    Sorry, there is a double post here. This was originally a different post so it would get more visibility. However, it got moved by the mods. (which I understand)

    There are occasional giveaways via 3rd party game-sites, and usually a direct giveaway during the Anniversay in Feb.

    Yes, but those are for PC Alienware, Razor, etc. But the original post singled out consoles, I've only ever seen those on the Xbox store in my case and I'd assume the same on the PS store.

    As far as i've seen. Console only gets the Verdant/Cobalt weapons when a new Season pops up.
    And C-Store giveaways during Anniversary same as PC.

    And the Alienware, Steelseries and other sites that give out keys for all sorts of gamepacks are PC only it seems?.

    Some year(s) ago. I used keys from Alienware, Steelseries etc. Etc. Which was starter packs, ships and other stuff That didn't specifically said "PC Only". Redeemed them in the ARC launcher on Xbox. They all worked but none of the stuff was actually given to me in the game.


    Nowadays whenever these sites have keys for stuff, it always says "PC Only"
    Which totally sucks!

    Maybe for once, we console folk could get better "giveaways" than some useless weapon thats just for one character?

    Sorry, but you are both incorrect. There have been specific console giveaways on these sites, and even some of the codes work on Console as well as PC. I've picked up 3 or 4 things in the past 5 years from these giveaways, including ships.

    Where did you redeem the things that was "multi-platform" ?

    I was told by Cryptic/Arc,(not on this profile because i don't remember the info on my old one...) Alienware and Steelseries to redeem them through the Arc launcher on Xbox.
    Which i did and they were accepted but i didn't get anything in-game.

    Also, which giveaways was specifically for console ?

    You claim them from the Promotions tab after the code is accepted...but it's best to relog if you are already in-game so the Account Server updates correctly. I've had a couple of charity giveaways, as well as Alienware Elite bundles, medical bundle and the pink bundle...can't remember the actual ones off-hand as maintenance is still on.

    Yeah, I've had a variety advertised as PC giveaways where the codes also worked just fine for Xbox too over the same period, although I'm not sure it was meant to work that way. Can't remember which ones specifically. It's been a bit hit and miss though, with some items claimable and some not after the codes were redeemed. Since the Xbox Arc app became defunct, that seems to have ended.
