Gears 5 Operation 6 - PvP & PvE |
| Posted: 25 Feb 2021 12:15 PM PST Starting on March 2, Operation 6 will introduce some fresh multiplayer variants and we're excited to share those with you today! Versus: Control With PvP, we are going to be introducing a new featured Versus game mode to kick off Operation 6, we are calling this mode Control. Control is a new spin on classic ring-based modes but with some changes. The main goal is to capture a large objective area, but you will be required to stay inside the area to score points for your team. Unlike King of the Hill, each player will have an individual respawn timer, so you can get back into the action that much faster. To accommodate the heightened carnage during matches, we have made the objective 2.5 times bigger than the regular KOTH ring. This makes for more contested rings and more action! We feel that Control offers a unique approach to the area of control formula that Gears has to offer, and the individual spawning is the icing on the cake. Alongside Control launching for Operation 6 we have an exclusive medal group for you to complete, completing the medal group will provide you 3,000 Gears Coins. Name Description Tour of Duty stars Ever Closer to Extinction Get 100 Eliminations in the Control Versus event 4 Breached! Complete 10 Rounds in the Control Versus Event 3 In Total Control Win 5 Matches in the Control Versus event 4 Controlled Carnage Deal 200000 Damage in the Control Versus event 5 Control will stay up for two weeks but keep an eye out for rapidly changing Versus events as we'll be switching it up throughout the operation!! Ranked With a new operation comes a new ranked season, we will be keeping our current ranked playlists, Team Deathmatch, Free for All – 8 Players, King of the Hill, 2v2 Gnashers. We will, however, be providing you a new set of weapon skins to earn for your Hammerburst[cdn.gears5.com], Retro Lancer[cdn.gears5.com], and Boomshot[cdn.gears5.com]. Click the name of the weapon above to see a preview. Get those ranked gains going! PvP Tweaks  With Operation 6 we'll be bringing back tracers to the Gnasher, allowing you to visually see where your pellet trails go when shooting. Check the image below for an example of it in action. We have also improved the damage consistency when it comes to gibbing a player when they are sliding into cover, which will provide much more predictability in important fights. Horde: Escape from Kadar We have a brand-new Horde event kicking off Operation 6 – Escape from Kadar. Niles has been up to his old tricks again and has created unique enemies for you to take on in this 10-wave epic. This playlist introduces Locust enemies back into Horde for the first time in Gears 5. Build up your defenses because they'll be coming with Retro Lancers and even the pipe! Oh… and expect many, many sires. Escape from Kadar will also provide a unique medal group. If you complete it you'll unlock a special lab drone of your own: the Locust Hybrid[cdn.gears5.com]. Details of the group are below. Name Description Tour of Duty stars Severed Link Get 5 Matriarch Eliminations in the Escape From Kadar Horde Event 5 Dirty Little Secrets Get 50 Sire Eliminations in the Escape From Kadar Horde Event 4 New Hope Win 1 Match in the Escape From Kadar Horde Event 3 Locust, Forever Get 100 Locust Eliminations in the Escape From Kadar Horde Event 3 Escape from Kadar will be featured for two weeks, so make sure to get your medals done before then! PvE Tweaks In addition to the new event above, we've also been making small tweaks to the daily hives for Escape. Right now, you may see repeating hives for your challenges. To address this we've adjusted the rotation so that you won't see the same hive on the daily challenge for at least 14 days, which should help provide a lot more variety for your daily Escape adventures. Additionally, we're improving the coin and skill card rewards offered during the daily Horde and Escape challenges, check out the full changes below:
