How to fix Badum’s rewards not being claimed or added to your inventory in The Cycle: Frontier

After loading up The Cycle: Frontier for the first time, you’ll be taken through the game’s tutorial and given an introduction to Badum. He’s the NPC who will guide you through some early quests and make sure you know everything you need to know before heading out on Fortuna III for real play. However, his quests can sometimes drop out, and there is one that is quite annoying. This guide explains how to fix Badum’s rewards not being claimed or added to your inventory.

How to fix Badum’s rewards not being added to your inventory after claiming them

If you cannot see the rewards that Badum offers you in his shop, you will have to restart the game. This only takes a few moments, but we haven’t found anything else that fixes the issue. Rebooting seems to trigger a new check on the game’s server, resulting in the items being displayed in your inventory. If this doesn’t work for you, try restarting your device or the storefront you’re playing the game from. There could be a deeper issue with The Cycle: Frontier, which means you might have to wait to see if the developer addresses it.

What if you can’t see Badum’s rewards?

After returning to the main hub of the game and speaking to each faction leader, you must return to Badum. He wants to give you a selection of weapons and gear to get you started, because you lose everything that isn’t in your Safe Pockets if you die in a match. However, some players cannot see the items Badum gives you even after you claim them. When you open your inventory, each item shown on the rewards screen should appear ready to be equipped. Instead, however, some players see nothing, as you can see from the screenshot above.

Anyone encountering this error is stuck until they use the above solution to fix it. You must complete each step of Badum’s opening quest before you can play more matches in The Cycle: Frontier. The next step is to equip the newly acquired gear, and after that you are in your first live game.
