Discover the years’ worth of bonus content included in Gears of War Reloaded, from bonus chapters and maps to characters and weapon skins.
Gears of War Reloaded is being hailed as the true ‘Ultimate Edition’ of the 2006 original, overhauling visuals with 4K compatibility, bringing the game to all major platforms, and uniting the player base with crossplay features. The game also boasts all previous bonus content introduced throughout the game’s Xbox-exclusive era, followed by the PC release and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Let’s take a look at the years of extra content condensed into Gears of War Reloaded.
Gears of War Reloaded: Bonus Content Guide
Owning Gears of War Reloaded translates to unlocking all the content the first installment of the Gears franchise has ever had, from bonus campaign missions to weapon skins.
Bonus Campaign Chapters
Gears of War Reloaded features the five bonus campaign chapters first introduced with the Gears of War 2007 PC release. These chapters were slotted into Act 5: Desperation, right before the Special Delivery chapter. They include:
- Impasse
- Comedy of Errors
- Window Shopping
- Powers That Be
- Jurassic Proportions
The bonus chapters begin with Delta Squad pursuing a train with a Lightmass Bomb onboard while a colossal Brumak is tracking them, drawing closer. The chapters culminate with a thrilling Brumak boss fight in Jurassic Proportions.
Map Packs
Gears of War Reloaded has 19 total multiplayer maps, which comprise bonus map packs introduced with the game’s past releases. In 2006, post-launch, the game received its first map pack as DLC, adding Raven Down and Old Bones. The Hidden Fronts Map Pack added Subway, Bullet Marsh, Garden, and Process, forming the classic multiplayer map pool.
In 2007, the Windows release introduced three multiplayer maps that were PC-exclusive at the time. These included Courtyard, Sanctuary, and Gold Rush. This release also included a map editor called Unreal Editor, which allowed players to create their own maps and campaign missions. Such a map maker has not been released with Gears of War Reloaded.
Character and Weapon Skins
The introduction of bonus character and weapon skins as DLC primarily began with Gears of War Ultimate Edition, which offered the MP weapon and character skins for players purchasing the Deluxe Digital Edition. These included 11 bonus multiplayer character skins. All of these skins, whether they were initially pre-order exclusives or for the Deluxe Digital Edition, are now included in Gears of War Reloaded.
