Aw, man that means I have to download tactics just to get this skin? I’ve only got my phone’s 4G connection right now, which is slooow. There will be no other way to get this? I suppose I better get used to days-long download times seeing as the big title update is coming soon as well. Quick question: if I do it now while I still have Gamepass, will it register for Op 5 assuming I will stop subscribing to gamepass and uninstall before then (dollar deal runs out)?
I don’t think so I figure when Operation 5 does launch you’ll be able to unlock Gabe through regular means or have to wait a a bit.
But just playing the tutorial on any platform(mobile or P.C.) should give you the unlock (assuming T.C. doesn’t ■■■■ something up) so as long as you do that or have done it already you should be able to just cancel the Subscription.
If doing it now doesn’t register the unlock for later just use a free subscription and play Tactics til up to the tutorial when it releases and you’ll just get it anyway.

Seen some people on Twitter/Facebook saying it’s gonna be a Tactics themed Operation, in my opinion I actually hope it isn’t,
Gears Veterans such as Anya, Hoffman, Tai, Dizzy, Prescott, Skorge etc should come well before anyone else.
Yeah they are launching Gabe when Op 5 releases & that’s cool to acknowledge the release, however I believe there’s many more important characters that deserve to be in Op 5 rather than it being wasted on a Tactics theme. Especially when it’s own game is launching to Xbox that same month.
I can agree to an extent.
Yes the original cast should’ve been here at launch in fact we should’ve been past Tactics being a thing in this game already.
But saying it would be wasted on a Tactics theme is just not right. Gears Tactics is a gears of war game first before it’s a Tactics game. The look and feeling is the closest we’ve gotten to the original in a while especially compared to gears of war 5.
I wouldn’t want the Tactics cast to come back to gears before someone like Tai and Anya do hell no. But a theme and characters are two different things and a theme around Tactics would be way better than the crap we’ve recieved over the past year. Though most of Tactics levels aren’t really map worthy there are a few in mind that could be amazing map editions if done correctly.

any word on if this is retroactive ?
I just went through the tutorial on PC and Game Pass lapses tomorrow for me. I hope it counts
I hope it is.
I’d take the OG/Locust setting any day over what 4 and 5 have been.
for everybody too lazy to look it up themselves
I hope now that TC is done working on Tactics that they start allocating more resources in the studio to improving Gears 5 faster. Also, I can’t wait to see Gears Tactics story unfold because I love the locust lore. I have the RAAM’s shadow comic books and it would be really cool if they added a dlc to the Gears 5 campaign in the future where you play as RAAM and you do the events of RAAM’s Shadow. Ukon is in Tactics though so that is cool.
Making it the solution, thanks my man

I’m not talking as in like that I’m talking about Tactics characters only for this operation.
What about Sid or Mikayla?
Tactics characters were cool so im okay with either these or legacy chars.
And well, potential release for prescott, ukon or the imulsion powered locust.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what do they mean by the “tutorial?” I passed the first mission, which had tutorial elements, but wasn’t officially called the tutorial. I hope that’s enough. I didn’t see a “tutorial” heading in the menu. Maybe I’m blind, lol.
The first mission is the tutorial

Don’t think there’s no real issues with him being a character in Gears 5, I think some are just slightly frustrated that he’s coming to Gears 5 before characters like Anya, Hoffman and the likes of Dizzy.
Turn based gears??? No thanks.

Haters 
trying to expand the series into other areas is what every successful franchise attempts at some point, the unfortunate thing here is that turn based strategy games are about the most boring idea you could attempt, and then they release it on PC exclusively? Wow, its almost like they were trying to make a failure right out the gate.
With Tactics flopping (it will get much more attention with Series S/X though) and the main series games in steady decline year over year MS will pull the plug soon, probably Gears 6 will be last Gears game.

Wouldn’t doubt 6 would be the last the way this is going…
I would be sad.

Gears 5 easily would’ve been the most successful Gears game ever made if it was fantastic from launch, but the only Gears title I recall having a great launch was Gears of War 3, and Gears 3 was not actually that popular so the only way for Gears to rebound is for them to pull off something that no Gears game has ever done.
Gears of War was far more popular during Gears 1/2’s years, so I think you could argue every other game made after was a flop but that doesn’t equate because MS cared far more about sales back in previous generations whereas now its all about Gamepass and microtransactions.
Tactics is easily the most unsuccessful Gears game ever made… Microsoft ran out of ideas lol.
