Gears 5 Operation 8 Will Add Custom Game Support For Previous Horde Mode Events

Gears 5's latest (and last) seasonal update is right around the corner, and when it arrives, it will add custom game support for previously time-limited Horde mode event gametypes.

Come the release of Operation 8 on August 3, players will be able to play the following Horde event modes via custom games:

• Boss Rush – Survive 10 waves against bosses only.
• Escape from Kadar – Survive 10 waves against Niles’ creations.
• Horde Mania – Survive 25 waves with a short build period.
• Horde Roulette – Survive 10 waves of random enemy combinations.
• Jingle Juvies – Survive 20 waves of joyous Jingle Juvies.
• Mad Man’s Monsters – Survive 20 waves against the Mad Man’s Monsters.
• Nexus Siege – Survive 10 waves of Locust with no Fabricator.
• Predator Hunt – Survive 10 waves and battle the Wakaatu with no Fabricator.

Operation 8 will add two "prototype" weapons that never made it into the final version of the game for use in custom games as well. The two "new" weapons take inspiration from Gears of War: Judgment, with one weapon mimicking the Breechshot and another inspired by the Stim-Gas Grenade, which can be used to revive "down but not out" players.
