This weekend’s Gears of War 3 event puts a new spin on the King of the Hill playlist. All players will begin with 3 default weapons: The Retro Lancer, the Gorgon Pistol, and 2 Frag Grenades.
No other weapons will be available, and all weapon pick-ups on each map have been substituted with the weapons listed above. This is also Epic Games’ way of showing off the new “Ring indicator,” which indicates where the next King of the Hill ring will pop up.
As usual, playing in the custom Blades and ‘Nades game type will earn you a point toward the War Supporter Onyx Medal, which is needed for the Seriously 3.0 achievement.
