THIS WEEK IN GEARS: JANUARY 19 – 25
Hello everyone!
With another week upon us, we have another edition of This Week in Gears lined up for you.
VERSUS EVENT: 14 PLAYER GNASHERS ONLY FFA
The Gears bedlam is HUGE this week with the return of 14 player FFA! You start with a Gnasher and Smoke but can quickly upgrade your loadout by grabbing one of the power weapons conveniently placed throughout the map. And for fights this big, we’re featuring our dedicated FFA tile-maps – War Room, Pit, Nethercutt, and Core.
Enjoy but make sure to watch your six.
PVE
There is no Horde event this week but don’t fret PvE fans. There is still the daily Horde challenge as well as the daily & weekly Escape Hive (The Detour) which are chocked full of great rewards.
GEARS GLORY
Last week we announced Gears Glory an opportunity for you to send us your favorite pieces of content you’ve created and we’re blown away by some of the fantastic posts we’ve seen.
With such a passionate community here, we love stumbling across content you tag us in, whether it be an awesome clip, a tattoo or cosplay we can never have enough Gears love to share when it comes to these incredible efforts.
As a reminder we’ll be doing a theme for each month but to kick this particular theme off we’re allowing you to submit whatever you’d like to us for this month.
You can submit your community content via the hashtag #GearsGlory on Twitter and Instagram, throughout the month we’ll be highlighting our favourites culminating with our selected favourites at the end of January, after that we’ll be going into dedicated themes for each month.

NEW TC COMMUNITY MANAGER – TC KILO
It’s taken some time but we’re very excited to announce our new Community Manager – TC Kilo. He’s been around the Gears world for a while (you may remember him as Shaunyowns). You will see him on Reddit, in the forums, and everywhere in between. He’s taken over the old Octus Twitter account so if you don’t already follow him – you can find him here. He’ll also be on this week’s stream for us to do a proper in-person introduction. Welcome TC Kilo!
