The traditional Christmas date with gearsmaskicked off, this year of course dedicated to the recent Gears 5. Between new modes, special events and free skins, The Coalition has put a lot of meat on the fire; let's see the details.

Let's start the review of the news, starting with the cosmetic elements as a gift for all players: it will be enough to access the game with your profile by January 2nd, to receive a series of cosmetic elements that will allow you to give your Jack, as well as your banner, marker and bloodss a nice Christmas touch!

There are also themed decorations for all the weapons in the game, but these skins must be earned: the way to get them is to complete (again by next January 2nd) at least 100 waves of the special variant of the Horde, called Jingle Juvies. The larvae are the absolute protagonists of the 20 waves in which this variant is articulated, old knowledge for those who have already tried in the previous Gearsmas, but players will also have to face adequate reinforcements in the various bosses level.

As for competitive multiplayer, this year we don't have the usual Snowball Fightmode, the snowball fight. The Coalition justified the choice with the very recent introduction of the All-against-All Free For All mode,so Fan-versus-all players are encouraged to delve deeper into this mode. To increase our motivation in this regard, reaching 200 kills in the Free For All will be rewarded with the skin of the Krampus,equipped as a customization of the Scion.

Finally, for those who can find time between lunches and celebrations, the days of 25 December will guarantee free boost, to proceed more quickly in the levels of experience.
