The icon will remain in place for Custom matches to help maintain esports integrity. We’re removing the ability to see the PC Icon in Public lobbies across Gears 5.Alongside all the updates above, we have some significant quality of life changes coming to the Versus experience, including some competitive changes.Note: Ping will still appear on this scoreboard, this is just a bot game. In addition to the above we’re still granting the same top 100/1 rewards as last season but with one change: The Grandmaster Gnasher will be swapped out for the Grandmaster Obsidian Gnasher. We are still going to be offering this reward with the same criteria, but we’ll be rotating through the weapon groups so that players can earn all the weapon skins without having to grind different playlists.
In Operation 7 we gave away the Heroic Obsidian weapon set, which was awarded in batches if you finished playlists in the top 1000. This mode will also have exclusive banners to unlock as well as a new leaderboard to climb!Īlongside competitive updates, we’ll be adding more exclusive competitive rewards, some prototype weapons, and more, let’s dive in! We’re happy to announce that due to overwhelmingly positive feedback we’ll be adding Capture the Flag as our eighth and final competitive mode to Gears 5 for Operation 8 going forward. In Operation 7, we introduced Competitive mode, bringing with it seven total playlists, each with exclusive Leaderboards.
