Gears of War 4’s Horde mode is class-based

With some bonus Run the Jewels

Recommended Videos

Our second look at Horde mode in Gears of War 4 is much, much better than our first.

The co-op survival mode will have five players fortifying positions with a mobile Fabricator tool and fending off creatures and even robots across 50 waves. Interestingly, The Coalition has chosen to go class-based for Horde 3.0 — you’ll play as either Sniper, Engineer, Soldier, Scout, or Heavy. Reactions already seem torn on that detail, but I’m willing to give it a chance and hear the full story there.

As for the song in the trailer, it’s “Panther Like A Panther (I’m the Shit)” off the upcoming Run the Jewels 3. And, what the? “Later this year, Killer Mike and El-P will forever become part of the Gears family by appearing as multiplayer characters in the game. The duo will bring their brutal intensity and ‘can’t nobody save us but us’ attitude to Gears of War 4 multiplayer.”
