According to a thread on the Gears of War forum, there seems to be some sort of a celebration for this festive season. “After a few weeks of preparation from some of the team here in the studio, I am excited to announce Gearsmas 2014, aka three weeks of rotating Gears of War 3 events. One thing will remain constant throughout the following 3 weeks in the events playlist – snowman heads are back( for just the event-specific playlist), but expect to see some familiar rotating events that will be announced daily in this thread and on social media.”
So what really is this event? They’ve broken in down for us–
What: #GEARSMAS2014
When: Friday, December 12 – Friday, January 2
How to access Special Event Playlist: Gears of War 3- Under the Forces of Nature Versus Playlist, Gearsmas playlist will be titled by the name of the current event
Current Event: Brothers to the end (Effective 12/15)
*Lancers/Gnashers loadout ONLY
