Xbox News: Gears of War 4 December 2017 Update! More Achievements! 07/12/17

Hey Guys, Gizmo here with a quick news update for Gears of War 4!

Over on Gears of War's official site they have announced a huge free update to the game for December!

The Notes are as follows:

• Added 10 achievements worth 500G!
• Improved Credit and XP Earn rate for Versus game modes to be more even with earn rates in Horde
• Horde Events now support Holiday Hats!
• Xbox One X: Long games of Escalation no longer cause the game to crash
• Removed multiple exploits allowing players to go out of bounds on Horde maps
• Fixed an exploit involving ledge drop downs
• Improved Versus and Horde dialogue for Bernie, Hoffman, Oscar and Sam in line with improvements made to other character dialogue

The Achievement list is as follows:

Achievements marked with [R] (Retroactive) will unlock if you have already completed the requirements when the update releases.

• [R] Momma Said I Can’t Die (50G) – Beat the campaign on Inconceivable solo
• Pick Me Up (50G) - Complete Campaign on Hardcore or higher without ever killing an enemy with a Lancer or Gnasher (includes Co-Op Partner)

• [R] I’m In The Zone (50G) - Kill 10 players without dying in Versus Multiplayer (Public only)
• Tour De Force (50G) – Finish a Versus match on all 24 post-launch Versus maps (Public only)
• [R] Veteran Gear (50G) – Play 100 hours of Versus Multiplayer

• [R] I Like Em Crispy (20G) – Collect 5 Flaming Weapon Skins from Versus Special Events
• [R] Better Than Bacon (20G) – Collect 5 Midnight Omen Weapon Skins from Horde Special Events

Obviously the most exciting thing here is more achievements but personally im very happy to see improved Credit and XP rates for versus modes to bring them into line with Horde mode, as this has been an issue since launch!

Also excited to see the Holiday Hats in Horde!

It's great to see The Coalition continue to support Gears 4 post launch and at this point its become one of the most complete experiences on the Xbox One!
