New Black Steel - Gears 5

TC’s black steel will never look as good as the fan art :frowning:

Remember that fella who did his own Black Steel fan art? The majority of his ones were better than TC’s actual designs. Especially the later BS skins from eSports Supporter 9 onwards.

Oh man they were great. TC really hates the blue lights now for some reason. In my memory, JD, Del and Old Marcus were the only ones that had the right amount of blue. There were some good Locust too obvs.

Looks great but it’s funny to point out that TC dropped the chainmail aesthetic sometime after pack (6?) for literally no reason at all so you adding it was cool. I liked it and have no idea why they stopped doing it so out of the blue.

Yeah they reduced the number of affiliation lights which just turned alot of the later skins into black blobs. The skins in Supporter 1-5 had a good balance.

Also the choice of some characters was just bewildering. Aaron Griffin, Gary Carmine and the Deebee Shepherd? Or the half-finished Lambent Grenadier Elite? Ridiculous and half-hearted tosh!

maybe it’s not white maybe it’s silver or chrome
I saw the trailer in detail there are 2 versions in one it shows more than in the other
It is confusing because it has white or silver parts but also a lot of black and parts very similar to the black steel textures and edges

I completely agree

I’ve never been a fan of black steel skins, but I’m pretty sure they’ll return in Gears 5, TC made a fair bit of money from loot packs with these skins.

Looks better than most of TC’s.

While 1-5 had the best characters I hated the way those packs work, a CHANCE for any character. When I bought Supporter 1 when It first released all I got was weapon skins, no characters. And I was mad.

I’ve no idea if Black Steel Kantus has ever been made, but both Outsider Kait and Kantus are better choices for Black Steel than Armoured Kait and Savage Kantus.

I think TC should employ you to do the eSports Skins.

I’d pay double to help fund that :+1:
