Gears 5 This Week in Gears - March 23 - 29

Posted: 22 Mar 2021 04:56 PM PDT

Hello everyone!

A new week means we have a new This Week in Gears!

Versus Event: Hyper Dodgeball

Hyper Dodgeball returns! Eliminate the opposing team to win. Every kill brings back a dead teammate.

Remember as its hyper that means respawn times are 2 seconds, so expect fast and frenetic action with each respawn in the mode!

To celebrate this event, we have a special Medal group you can complete, which will grant you 3,000 Coins.

Good Work – Deal 50,000 Damage in the Hyper Dodgeball Versus Event
Oh Sweet Oblivion – Get 50 eliminations in the Hyper Dodgeball Versus Event
More than soldiers – Complete 10 Rounds in the Hyper Dodgeball Versus Event
You are the Support – Score 1,000 Points or more in 3 Hyper Dodgeball matches.

Good luck!
