Gears Of War 4 Celebrates Year Of The Dog With Horde Event, Experience Boost, And More

Now that the lovey-dovey holiday is out of the way, it's as good a time as any to rev up some chainsaws and join in the carnage. Gears of War 4 is celebrating the Year of the Dog by kicking off a new Horde event with a double XP weekend starting February 16. Pouncers and Juvies will attack in droves against weakened fortifications, players will get a chance to earn some sweet loot, and changes are coming to both how experience points and quitters are handled.

You can check out their community page for full details, but here are some of the highlights:

• Double XP is the new standard, meaning the double XP weekend will net you four times the experience you're used to
• The Year of the Dog “Pouncer Madness” Horde event begins February 16
• Daily login rewards starting on February 16
• Destroy all duplicates and create multiples in Card Companion
• Quit time out penalties have been increased while wait times to boot inactive players have been decreased
