If you spent way too much time playing Gears of War 1 and 2, you’ll have something to show for it in the third game. See, you knew grinding Tickers for 84 hours would pay off eventually.
“It’s mostly around weapon skins in terms of tying into historical stuff,” Epic’s Rod Fergusson tells MTV. “Two of the ones…I guess we haven’t announced this but we have to announce it eventually, right? Two of the weapon skins are based on historical weapon skins, so if you want the gold Lancer and the gold Hammerburst in Gears 3, you get them by owning the gold Hammerburst and the gold Lancer in Gears 2, so those skins transfer over.
“If you did something in Gears PC you get a chrome skin, if you did something in Gears 2 you get a chrome skin. The chrome set is sort of our thank you to people who played our games in the past.
“Generally whenever we do unlocks, we do it based on Achievements. That’s why I’ve been trying to tell people about the level 100 thing. No, it’s not about getting level 100 [in Gears of War 2 multiplayer], it’s about Veteran Gear. Get that Achievement and that’ll get you something. I don’t care if you’re level 100, you have to have the Veteran Gear Achievement.”
And that had better be a neon pink Berserker skin for multiplayer, or I’m writing a sternly worded letter of complaint. Also, FYI, the Veteran Gear Achievement includes reaching level 100 AND winning a match on each of the four Snowblind maps. Go get fraggy.
