Gears of War: E-Day Wiki

Gears of War: E-Day Horde Siege Classes

Horde Siege launches with four distinct classes, each with its own starting loadout, combat bonus, progression track, and Tactical Gear. Each class has 30 progression levels at launch, with additional classes planned for seasonal updates.

• Assault

  A flexible mid-range class with a Sonic Disruptor that stuns enemies and a damage bonus while fighting from cover.

• Breacher

  A close-range frontline class with an Adrenaline Injector that restores health and reduces incoming damage.

• Marksman

  A precision-focused class with a Pulse Drone that tags Locust targets and increased critical-hit damage.

• Medic

  A mid-range support class whose Stim Vaporizer can heal and revive nearby Gears, including downed players from other squads.

Gears of War: E-Day Versus Guide

Versus is built around balanced 4v4 PvP with identical starting loadouts and Power Weapons placed around each map. The launch lineup contains four core modes and six new maps set around the war-torn city of Kalona.

• Team Deathmatch

  Teams fight through a shared pool of lives, with dynamic respawns that react to where combat is taking place.

• Conquest

  Teams capture and defend active zones, with each zone remaining active until one side earns enough occupation time to score.

• Demolition

  Teams contest a neutral bomb and attempt to plant it at one of two enemy bombsites; three successful detonations win the match.

• Crucible

  Teams carry a Power Core into a moving scoring zone while defending the core from the opposing squad.

• Launch Maps

  The six launch Versus maps are Outpost, Battleship, Park, Precinct, Market, and Skyward.

Gears of War: E-Day PC Requirements

Check the official minimum and recommended PC specifications before installing Gears of War: E-Day. The PC version requires an SSD, DirectX 12, hardware ray tracing support, and 115 GB of available storage.

Gears of War: E-Day Weapons and Weapon Mods

E-Day rebuilds gunplay around simulated projectile travel, new aiming options, revised classic weapons, and a new Weapon Mod system. Weapon Mods are used in Campaign and Horde Siege, while competitive Versus keeps weapons unmodified for balanced starts.

• Simulated Ballistics

  Projectiles have travel time, so long-range shots may require players to lead moving targets.

• Shoulder Swap

  Players can swap aiming shoulders to change their firing position while aiming down sights.

• Weapon Mods

  Campaign and Horde Siege include Weapon Mods that can alter weapon performance and functionality.

• Gnasher

  The Gnasher can receive Weapon Mods in Horde Siege, including an unlockable bayonet modification.

• Heavy Weapons

  Heavy Weapons can be carried while performing most movement actions, and turret-mounted weapons can be detached for use.
