Veteran Gear Unlock Update

Epic Games‘ Community Manager Will Kinsler posted an update about the Veteran Gear unlock which was announced in Friday’s live stream. For more information, check this thread at the at the Epic Forums.

Veteran Gears,

We want to thank you for reaching out to us over the weekend with your thoughts on Friday’s announcement of the Veteran Gear unlock for Gears of War 3. We value the feedback of all our fans, especially our Veteran Gears who put in so much time not only by playing the game, but by sharing your passion for Gears on a daily basis on the forums.

With that in mind, we’d like to let you know that the Golden Gnasher Gears 3 unlock will only be available to those who have earned the Veteran Gear achievement in Gears of War 2. We do want to reward fans who play Gears 3 during release week, but have decided to do so by unlocking the Golden Hammerburst and Lancer instead of the Gnasher.

Thanks for your dedication to the Gears franchise. It will be easy to identify our Veteran Gears on September 20th when we see you online with your exclusive Golden Gnasher unlock and medal!

Updates:

– For those who have asked, Veteran Gears still unlock all Golden Weapons. The minor change means that the Golden Gnasher is now exclusive to Veteran Gears.

– Remember that there are several Gears 2 XP events leading up to Gears 3 launch. Look for details on that on http://epicgames.com/community/ this week.

Gears Weekend: Return of Gold Weapons

It’s Gears Weekend time!  Here’s what’s happening this weekend:

GearsCon Community Night 4.4

GCON LogoOur friends at GCON continue the tradition of bringing amazing weekly events to the Gears community.  This weekend, the focus is on competitive gaming in the form of a featured match and GCON lobbies with competitive settings.  Head over to the official forums thread for more info.

Back to Back Gold Weapons

Gears of War 2 Gold Weapon HammerburstLast week we randomly awarded Gold Weapon codes to fans who told us about their Gears activities on Twitter by using the #gearsweekend hashtag.  Due to the popularity of the weapons, we’re bringing them back!  Look for winners to be announced periodically on the @gearsofwar3, @raczilla, @iflak Twitter accounts.

*Friendly reminder: Posting often about your #gearsweekend activities is great, but be sure you’re not just spamming the hashtag as that may make it difficult for folks to follow along. 

Coalition’s End

In honor of the release of Coalition’s End, we’re randomly awarding a hard cover copy of the book to one lucky fan who tells us about their Gears Weekend in the comments below.  The book is autographed by author Karen Traviss!

 

Have fun out there this weekend.  We hope to see you online!

Liam was able to not only play in some ranked matches with Paul and Coy, but he also was able to ask them questions asked by the community and give away Calibur11 Berserker T-Shirts and Golden Lancer codes for Gears of War 2.

Stay tuned this coming week for when GCON announces their next event  and sponsor for the weekend ahead – it’s going to be big!
