Honestly, I’m not a super fan of putting anything flamboyant or outlandish into the campaign. Maybe into multiplayer and horde.
I guess since we are headed down the COD path, let’s go ahead and get those jet packs so we can fly around!

In order to see the ending of Gears 5 you have to be the one who can heat the computer at Chess? Works for me.
Force players to learn Chess.
Each Gears game could have a different final boss game. A blank suduku puzzle. Beat the computer at Scrabble, or Monopoly.
Requires no shooting skill. Players should do this easily.

Mike Tyson makes a cameo in gears with his favorite execution biting Locust ears off. With at least one punch-out style boss match.

Based on upvotes we have a current list of the most crazy. But it will change as things are added/upvotes.
And fyi I’ll stop updating the list once Gears 5 comes out.
If you friendly fire Kait during the Campaign as JD , she actually dies and you direcly hit the credits. 15 mins Campaign , in and out. Easy.

An idea I had posted for Gears 4 on the old forums had to do with more custom game options, including Horde abilities, which they have done to a lesser extent with Escape and Arcade Mode.
The idea was to add all the Horde abilities with like slider bars for their % range, for speed, health, health regen, wall slide distance, gnasher damage, etc. I wanted the ability to some extent to scale character size also, between 0.5x and 2x the default size.
Also adding much more options and flexibility to the custom game settings to make it all tie in much better. Then you could create your own modes, mapping certain set abilities per player slot on each team, and even making asymmetric modes where it’s like 5 v 1 or 9 v 2. 1 or 2 players being super powerful and with more health/speed etc.
You could make your own Dead by Daylight, Evolve, Friday The 13th style asymmetric modes. If TC had the ability to do that, along with evolving the Map Builder further as they say they will, and even add something like Overwatch’s Workshop, where you basically can completely edit the game logic through an easy scripting tool set, it’d add so much more incentive to play more in custom lobbies.
Plus, like they already plan to do with custom made maps, it’d give TC awesome ideas for stuff to officially add in-game, by looking at the most popular creations.

A huge war mode, maybe something similiar to Halo 5 Warzone. Now look, I think halo 5 is ■■■■ but I think the idea of a Warzone like Mode could world well with Gears. Make it something like 12 vs 12 on bigger maps (not as huge as Battlefield or anything but bigger than your usual gears map). The aims could differentiate, according to the map. One basic example would be the Swarm wanting to conquer a COG city district. Cog would get the aim to hold the position, Swarm would be the one to rush in and try taking over. You could create bigger maps, that also allow a bit of vehicle Gameplay. Cog could use centaur, swarm could deploy carriers.
It would work better with the Locust Era though, since the Locust had an equivalent for most cog vehicles (Reavers = Ravens etc.). Of course, you’d have to balance it properly, due to the assymetrical elements. For example, a centaur could have a faster fire rate and be overall more agile while a Swarmak is slower but takes in more damage. I’d love such a mode. Gears has so many cool vehicles and bestiaries that never get used in pvp. You could add some interactive elements to the maps. For example, the Swarm could try to flood one section of the map by destroying a dam or something.

How about a mode where everyone is invisible… but as you take damage from something (frag, gunfire, etc) you become more visible on the screen until you die. If you manage to get away you regain health slowly until you become invisible again…when invisible the only thing the other players can see on screen is your gunfire or whatever you have equipped, Like the torque arrow would show on screen as it charges up, something along those lines.Smoke grenades could make you visible for like 10 seconds or something… I dont know its the best I can think of at the moment cause I am sober at work…maybe later when I jump online and start drinking something good might hit me lol.

Versus Zombie mode mixed with Beast mode. Start as a juvie, kill an opponent, they turn to a juvie. Each kill allows you to upgrade your swarm character. Maybe you get half of a point on death so it doesn’t last forever.

What about a mode with only Sawed-Offs? That ought to light the fires of some. But the idea about the Enforcer mode seems like it’d do that already, so I don’t know about this.

Players run around in complete darkness with chainsaws. Only a few light flashes now and then. the chainsaws will bright up the characters when in a duell. All footsteps will be cranked up.
Players will be unable to take cover and are constantly moving.
