Hello everyone!
It's time for another edition of This Week in Gears, our first one a week after the launch of Operation 6!
Tour of Duty – Boost
Before we dive into this week, we wanted to talk about the issue last week that recently resulted in an issue where boost wasn't granting double stars upon completing your daily challenges.
We deployed a fix for the issue at the end of last week, and we'll also be granting three days of boost as compensation. You can expect the boost to be granted to you after the store update tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, but hopefully this makes up for it!
Versus Event: Control
Control returns for one last week. Control is based on King of the Hill but with some changes. While the main objective will be to capture an objective area, you will be required to stay inside the area to score points for your team. Additionally, each player will have an individual respawn timer and the ring will be 2.5 times bigger than the regular King of the Hill ring.
Get stuck in!

Horde Event: Escape from Kadar
Escape from Kadar returns for one final week, Niles has been up to his old tricks again and has created unique enemies for you to take on in this 10-wave epic.
Expect to encounter unique Locust enemies who will use weapons such as the Retro Lancer and even the pipe!
Oh… and expect many, many sires.
