Gears of War 4 February Update bring two new maps and many bug fixes

The Coalition recently rolled out a new GoW 4 update, bringing two new maps, a week-long Valentine’s event, new Gear Packs, well as a bevy of bug fixes.

Gears of War 4 February Map Update

Impact Dark
Impact Dark is a remixed version of Impact, offering different combat dynamics. Visibility is permanently reduced, forcing you closer to the action. The combination of close range weapon swaps and reduced visibility create a more intense gameplay. Reading the battlefield is a difficult task even for the most competitive teams.

War Machine
War Machine is now set in a new COG Settlement, standing out with its pristine appearance and gleaming grandiose features. There are signs of activity everywhere: the DeeBee security bay is active, and the train sitting at the end of the platform is ready to start its journey at any minute.

Classic elements of this map are still here: the Sniper plays an important role, there’s an intense fight for Torque around the pillars, and the turret helps you dominate enemies that go too far into the open.
