This Week in Gears – Apr 27 – May 3
Hello everyone!
We have something new for you to try this week – BRAWL!
Brawl is a TDM variation, with the following notable changes.
- Players no longer respawn at the traditional static TDM spawn points. They will instead spawn throughout the map – nearer to their teammates and as far from enemies as reasonably possible.
- The Weapon respawn timers are on pickup, not use. So that this will not create too much power on the map, the weapon respawn times have been slightly lengthened.
- Players will take less damage from a distance while DBNO – similar to Execution 2.0, Gridiron, and Escalation.
The Medals for this Versus Event are:
- Win 5 Matches in the Brawl Versus Event – 6 stars
- Deal 50,000 Damage in the Brawl Versus Event – 5 stars
- Get 75 Eliminations in the Brawl Versus Event – 5 stars
- Complete 5 Matches in the Brawl Versus Event – 4 stars
The reward for completing the full medal group is 3,000 coins!
The Locust are coming to Horde! The units from the Nexus Siege event will be making their way to your bases to destroy you. The bosses will not be coming, so at least you don’t have to deal with Karn, Jermad, RAAM, Skorge, or Myrrah. The Horde enemy sets have been rebuilt to support this change, so it’ll be a brand new Horde Experience!

Execution 2.0 fans, we have great news for you – Execution 2.0 will be available in Quickplay for the remainder of Operation 6! Though it may be leaving the Event tomorrow, you will still be able to play it there.
