This link will let you skip alot of the steps and take you directly to sword customizations. From there you get the key in seconds:
https://scars.forhonorgame.com/en-GB/custom.html

If you get a problem later that says Invalid parameters then this worked for me:

for those that are having the invalid parameters issue, try this as it worked for me:

you get the website link which is - <48c6>http://forhonor.ubisoft.com/game/en-(YOUR COUNTRY)/beta-redeem/

example for me, it showed up as en-AU . I just changed it to en-GB and registered for the beta successfully.
Edit: en-US does not work.

Yea.. this "scars" website is not available to US users. Whatever that is. I did get a key through a user from one of said territories. Adding that through the redemption website still appeared to work.

Typing en-gb worked for me even though I'm in Sweden. It said en-NORDIC first I think.

For me its the berserker or whatever th class is called, the dual wielder. And Valkyrie is my second.

I still hope they introduce other factions later on, spartans, mongols...etc.

Obviously i'm gonna try all the characters, but to me the Japanese faction is the most boring one. Katana so over hyped, give me a zweihänder any day or some classic old sword & board ;)

I really wish the vikings were better designed, and perhaps a bit more inspired by...you know, real vikings.

Game looks rad though, gonna be fun to try it out :)

Should be all conan like :P

But yeah, actual armor/clothing would be more fitting than shirtless.
