Pre-ordering Lost Planet 3 at GameStop will grant five "unique" multiplayer characters, a squad which includes gas mask-wearing soldier "Hunk" from any number a Resident Evil games. The player also receives some Rig (read: giant robot) upgrades, specifically a "tungsten carbide drill" hand 'n a big ol' "pressurized claw" for squeezing space bugs 'n (we assume) other, less interesting applications.

Lost Planet 3 arrives on PS3, Xbox 360 'n PC on Tuesday, August 27.
