As mentioned last week, 14 Player FFA will be staying around for another week which means we’ll continue to bring the inevitable chaos you can come to expect in this mode, as a reminder we’ll be using four specific maps in this playlist – War Room, Pit, Nethercutt, and Core.
We don’t have a 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 (Lethal Engagements) which are chocked full of great rewards.
Stay tuned as we have a special Horde event coming your way soon!
GEARS GLORY
Wow! We have been utterly blown away but the Gears Glory submissions and everyone’s creativity. Feast your eyes on a few examples chosen by our Community team below.
Firestarter Benjamin – 350 Iron or 2,800 Gears Coins (30% off)
Biker Gary – 500 Iron or 4,000 Gears Coins
Pistol Pack: Cold Blooded execution – 300 Iron or 2,400 Gears Coins
Tiger Legacy weapon set – 425 Iron or 3,400 Gears Coins
As Firestarter Benjamin is already in the store permanently, we’ve added a special feature discount price just for this week!
GEARS ESPORTS
Last week we announced there will be no Chrome Steel skins for the next weeks; this means that there is no skin to purchase this week. Keep an eye because next week we start bringing back a selection of previously released Chrome Steel skins that you may have missed out on!
Hopefully this next horde event will include the ability for players to use our Locust/Lambent character skins in PvE.
Other than that though, this is a pretty good TWIG, thank you.
TC your weapon skins ideas are damn lazy as well cut the boring white crap out, this is gears of war ffs. Scrolling through the skins I have they’re just so dull in comparison to 4s for starters.
The special events should change weekly too come on. Dodgeball, warzone, execution, gridiron something else
One thing I’m wondering is why some of the Locust have red lights instead of yellowish orange. Like in this render, his goggles are clearly the original orange-ish color. But, in-game he & Beast Rider’s lights are straight up red.
I think the Cyclops still has the orange light, though.
Honestly, it’s not a big deal, I’m just curious as to why.
I like that more than one/two character skins have been in the store for the last few weeks.
I do believe it is the way forward, perhaps even increase to 5 or 6 skins, I think the back catalogue exists to let that happen, even if we stat repeating in a couple of months.
Hope that this continues and we get Vday Sam pretty soon.
I’ll get Fire Starter Ben as it’s discounted. Won’t be getting any others, not a fan of the Academy Anthony skin and never felt connected enough to Gary Carmine to spend coins on him. Sorry Gary.
Also love the “Carmines take over the Featured store” bit from twitter. They could have gone all out and bring back CS Ben and Clay while also introducing Liz which we all know is already in the game-files, but whatever. Can’t wait to hear more annyoing Carmine lines in pub lobbies the next 2-3weeks…
