The biggest update for Gears of War 4 is arriving in two days emphasizing on the Horde mode, new difficulties, new achievements and a free trial. Let’s go in detail of what to expect on June 6.
Free Trial
From June 9th to June 15th, The Coalition is offering a free trial to try out Gears of War 4. This full game trial will offer 10 hours of free play in Gears of War 4, including the entire first Act of the Campaign plus full – yes, full! – access to the Horde and Versus experiences. That means you can try out Rise of the Horde on top of all the great content that exists in Gears of War 4 today!
HORDE
Horde is getting a revamp with the arrival of Rise of the Horde, with 15 new Horde Skills, Level 6 Skills, loot drops, tuning changes and new difficulties.
The Scout has new abilities like Cloak to turn invisible in their quest to pick up Power, while Heavies can take the Berserker and Last Stand skills to deal more and take more damage with Heavy Weapons as they get lower on health. Snipers can take Magic Bullet to get increasing headshot damage bonus rewards, Soldiers can use Siphon to earn more Power for Grenade plant kills, and Engineers can resupply their comrades with ammo when their Fortifications kill enemies with the new Salvage skill.
Defeating bosses now arrives with rewards. Each Boss Wave you defeat at Wave 30, 40 and 50 will drop a singular random Horde Skill. Harder difficulties increase the likelihood of a rare drop, so challenge yourself for the best chance at a high-quality Skill drop. Season Pass holders will have an exclusive Gear Pack containing five of the new Horde skills.
New Difficulty Options –Â Inconceivable and Ironman
Prepare to rage quit more often with Inconceivable and Iron Man difficulties arriving Campaign and Horde mode. In Horde, Inconceivable is a direct step up from Insane – you’ll be even weaker, and your enemies will be even stronger. Level up your skills to their new Level 6 peak and maximize the bonuses of your classes if you want to get through all 50 Waves of Inconceivable.
In Campaign, Inconceivable takes a more Survival based twist, giving you less health than Insane difficulty but also less health to your enemies. That’s because surviving on Inconceivable is all about effectiveness – weapons and crates drop significantly less ammunition, so you’ll have to make every shot count with whatever pickups you can find on the battlefield.
Ironman is a pretty straightforward difficulty – don’t die. In Campaign, one death will restart your game back to square one. In Horde, no COG tags will be dropped when you die and one failed wave spells the end of your run to Wave 50.
New achievements 500G
20 new achievements are arriving Gears of War 4 on June 6 offering an extra 500G to collect. The Coalition hasn’t specified each achievement, but be sure to stick around to find out more!
New Maps
A remastered version of Avalanche from Gears of War 2 is back. Set in a mountainside resort, this village sits below a mountain with an unstable build-up of snow at its peak. During the match, the snow avalanches onto the battlefield, killing anything in its path and changing the entire middle of the map.
Rust Lung from Gears of War 3 brings an intense close-quarters flavor to this month’s map drop. Cover in the middle of the map can be dropped or raised with the press of a button – sneak around your opponents flank to give them a nasty surprise as their cover disappears from right in front of them!
