OVERVIEW
Last year we made clear our intentions to investigate the re-up system, in this news post we will be talking about the following:

XP per re-up
Rewards handed out per re-up
We are going to start this post by looking into the amount of XP required to re-up.

XP PER RE-UP
Last year the team adjusted their stance on the role of XP in multiplayer, in particular, this revolved around re-ups and how the system should be balanced accordingly.

With this update, we will be significantly reducing the amount of XP required to re-up across all the tiers, your re-ups and levels will be reflected accordingly when logging in for the first time after this update.

Note: For those of you who have decided to not re-up at all, you will not be affected by this update.

REWARDS HANDED OUT PER RE-UP
With this update we’re taking steps to introduce more valued rewards for re-upping! We designed heroic rarity from the ground up with the idea of honouring the players commitment to the game – they are visually unique on purpose to draw attention to the achievements of the players who equip them and including them in the re-up system is our way of acknowledging the achievements.

With that being said we’re taking the re-up update as an opportunity to introduce three more Heroic skins; Marcus, Kantus, and the Heroic Ascendant weapon set.

Take a look at the table below for the full list of what is changing on the reward side of things.

Note: If after this update you have been moved up a few re-ups due to the stuff talked about previously, you will be automatically granted the items you should have received.

CONCLUSION
And we are not quite finished just yet, to celebrate the re-up update we have some pretty important events that we would like to announce.

We’ll be launching the re-up update on Tuesday, February 9. When this update goes live we’ll be granting 14 days of boost to all players, and finally, we’ll be having a HUGE 4x ALL XP weekend which takes place from the 12th of February and finishes on the 15th. This should give you all a hefty jump to start grinding on the new rewards!

Get hyped.

Nice :+1:t2:

Not being a spoilsport, but I’m withholding final judgement until Tuesday/next week. This feels like it’s incomplete and only a starter for the changes. Also not really seeing the point in a Vs only skin for final reward in a progression system that is working for all modes.

I’m curious where current Re-up 50’s would be. It seems like they would auto unlock Ascendent and Heroic Kantus. I am not sure why Heroic Kantus belongs as last reward, when there’s no Versus XP changed in sight.

Kinda wish y’all just bundled all of the Team Ice and Get Some! skins into only 2 re-ups so we would get a better variety of rewards but this wasn’t too bad.

#9

Yep,

That’s what you will be getting most likely my dude.

#10

Would’ve made sense to put a few more reups for those that are already high level don’t you think? Cuz they’re gonna prob skyrocket up higher than they were already.

Overall GOOD changes.

Personally, That xp still won’t sway me into playing. Not with this tuning. Sorry.

#11

These look like good changes. I will reserve final opinion until the roll out on Tuesday but these look very good.

#12

Any chance we can see the new numbers re: XP needed per re-up?

All well and good by please, please, please sort out the absolute travesty that is pvp. and
The game is running as bad as I have ever know it and let’s be frank TC and MS, Gears has never been the most stable of games .

Hard to reup when you can’t even finish a game of multiplayer.

Good changes overall but I’d imagine many will max soon enough with it all? Could end up being boring for the ones that do if this game is lasting another two years or so.

It’s a shame the team ice stuff wasn’t bundled like the desert camos are and say more new unique weapon/character skins added,

All in all not a bad change but I still feel it should be richer in content each time you do re-up.

#19

I think they’ll take how much XP you have earned, and put it onto the new Re-ups.

Let’s say you have earned 26 million XP at Re-up 35.

The current Re-up 40 requires 49 million XP, but if the new Re-up 40 takes 26 million XP or less, then you would already be the new Re-up 40.

I might be wrong. We’ll see.

I have feeling the new Heroic skins are from the leaks I saw. Also really? the last re-up unlock is a Kantus skin? A skin that’s only used in versus? God I’m dreading the OP6 General award is another Swarm/Locust/Lambent skin that I will never use at all

4x XP weekend? Well, provided I don’t become 50 (am currently 42) it will be time to grind some more.
