Epic launches Gears of War 3 “Twelve Days of Gearsmas” event

14 December 2011

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me; a fully-automatic assault rifle with a chainsaw bolted onto it…

And what better to do with it than kill some grubs?

With this in mind then, Epic has launched its festive “Twelve Days of Gearsmas” special event, featuring a different theme each day leading up to Christmas Eve. Oh, it’s just what I asked Santa for!

It started off yesterday already, so we’ve missed out on freebie fortifications in Horde and whatever “Brothers to the End” was, but here’s what’s coming up over the next week and a bit:

General schedule

  • [Yesterday]: Fortifications for free (Gift Boxes aplenty)
  • Day 2: No Team Love (Friendly Fire in Horde Mode turned on)
