The next operation for Gears 5 is just right around the corner, and to get us ready, The Coalition have released a special “What’s Up” blog post dedicated to Operation 3: Gridiron. The post includes a ton of new information about Gridiron, including a very informative trailer detailing the operation.
You can view the trailer above.
Similar to Operation 2: Free For All, Operation 3: Gridiron will introduce a new game mode, new playable characters, new maps, and a fresh Tour of Duty filled with tons of brand new content for players to unlock.
The new game mode, Gridiron, is a single life objective mode. Two teams of five fight over a flag that can be used to score points by taking it to the enemy team’s endzone. Points can also be scored by wiping out the entire enemy team, as everyone only has one life, or by holding on to the flag when the round timer hits zero.
Augustus Cole and Clayton Carmine, as well as Queen Myrrah and the Theron Guard will be returning as playable characters in Gears 5. Each character will have their own special abilities for Horde (Heroes Only) and loadouts for Arcade.
The Operation will introduce brand new maps like Pahanu, Annex, and Arena. The fan favorite map, Canals, will also be making a comeback with its brand new look that was introduced back in Gears 4.
Operation 3: Gridiron goes live on March 31st. The full patch notes, as well as a list of brand new achievements coming to Gears 5 will be available on Monday, March 30th.
