We’re kicking off the first ever St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Gears of War history beginning this Friday, March 9th! Our celebration features a brand new Versus special event called ‘Luck of the Draw’ alongside a St. Patrick’s themed skin set – Lucky – to collect over 10 days.
LUCK OF THE DRAW
This is Arms Race with heaps of added MAYHEM.
This one round variant switches up the weapon order every single match (shared across both teams) rather than the fixed order of standard Arms Race.
To mix things up even MORE, you’ll need to master both the insta-kill hip fire machine of the Golden Gun and the full Heavy Weapons lineup in your race to the finish (which is also great for you Master At Arms achievement hunters!).
Every match promises a different hectic experience. We hope you have a blast with this one.
LUCKY WEAPON SKIN SET
See that sweet green weapon skin Marcus is holding in the image at the top of the page? That and 13 more just like it can be yours over the course of the next 10 days! Here’s how to complete your Lucky Weapon Skin set:
Thursday, March 8th
Want a taste of the event? Join us at 1pm PST today (Thursday, March 8th) in our Gears Weekly Live Stream to see this played out live for the first time! As an added bonus, we’ll be giving all viewers the chance to claim the Lucky Lancer Weapon skin a whole week early by joining us live on live.gearsofwar.com!
Friday March 9th –
Thursday March 15th
Head to GearsofWar.com beginning this Friday and sign up for the latest Versus Weapon Skin challenge! We’ll be tasking you to head into Luck of the Draw and complete 3 objectives to earn the first 3 in the set.
- Lucky Snub: Play 5 matches of Luck of the Draw
- Lucky Hammerburst: Win 10 matches of Luck of the Draw
- Lucky Longshot: Get 25 kills
Friday March 16th – Monday March 19th
6 more weapon skins are up for grabs by playing to win next weekend – but this time we’ll be providing two ways to pick up the skins!
For Versus fans, you’ll be able to register on GearsofWar.com for a new set of weekend challenges in Luck of the Draw. These will have much lower objective requirements than the week-long challenge from the previous week. We'll reveal next week's objectives in our next What's Up.
Horde fans – you’ll be able to find any of the 6 weapon skins as 100% Boss Loot drops on Horde Frenzy Normal and Insane. With the Versus challenges on the table, you’ll also be able to head into Luck of the Draw and complete objectives to earn any you have yet to find by completing Horde Frenzy matches.
Free Login Pack: Saturday March 17th
