Gears of War E Day: Which Weapons Will Appear?

[@zacharyweaver276]

3:51 shotguns make sense could even be a civilian one since a lot of people are being taken by surprise

[@cardboard_shaft]

bro thank you for being so dedicated to gears

[@KingAbzTV]

Always, love this franchise so much, brothers to the end!

[@travisreed1730]

Maybe the Hammer Of Dawn could appear as a last resort for the COG government?

[@KingAbzTV]

that happens anyway in 1 A.E. , but maybe they could for certain locust hollow creatures

[@travisreed1730]

I could see there being a specialist Locust Trooper that is an expert with the Combat Knife, like a subclass of Grenadier or Drone.

[@travisreed1730]

Maybe even a Bolter.

[@zacharyweaver276]

13:22 yes give us locusts using weapons suited for urban warfare and clearing buildings

[@Arkancide]

The original Hammerburst was actually perfectly suited for such things. They are short, burst-fire weapons that are highly maneuverable in CQB. Okay, not PERFECTLY suited, but much moreso than Lancers as far as length goes.

[@zacharyweaver276]

1:46 Agreed way too insane we never got an rpg for all the big monsters

[@dusk9427]

Especially for reavers.

[@soeBoom]

I hope we do have a crazy amount of locust on screen!!

[@SpaceSnipesツ]

Thanks for the fire content Abz! You made me get back into gears. 🔥🔥

[@KingAbzTV]

My pleasure!!

[@yikeswazowski9838]

I love the retro lancer so im hyped

[@atcandotherthings4985]

I definately think we need sawed off, breech-shot, OG hammer burst, and booshka

[@zacharyweaver276]

Im hoping for some pendulum war weapons and unique locust ones. Would be cool to get a silverback

[@Walshy94]

I'm not sure if we'll see the Gorgon pistol. The Kantus used those and Marcus never encountered them until Gears 2. Unless we briefly play an act as another team that encounters them

[@KnightSlasher]

The HoD command center does sound like a pretty good idea, it's like showing something common in the series but how it used to be which is pretty cool

[@GSGNightCrawler]

I would love too see the locust have there own shotgun. Maybe it's a pump shotgun instead of lever action, and maybe more deadly at range.

[@Rawr93]

Love you Abz!! Great video as always! 🧡

[@KingAbzTV]

Love you too brother, & thanks!!

[@samagic322]

Awesome video Abz. I would love to see Sid Redburn to appear in gears of war e-day

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you, & that would be sweet!

[@kallumpuklowski8806]

I feel like you should work for the coalition & be the lore accurate guy making sure it lines up in the new games. You would do a great job!

[@KingAbzTV]

That means a lot thank you my friend, but I think Parasidian is gonna do an amazing job there as the lore coordinator

[@crown5619]

Imagine watching the cog mess up the reloads on locust weapons to make it immersive since those are new weapons to them or even hear them panic that's how I would be if some monsters came at me and all I have is a weird enemy gun

[@EliteKnight97]

I’d like to see a UIR sidearm

[@dottietyre9062]

Same the COG have a semi-auto pistol the UIR would probably have a Revolver similar to the Locust but since they use a lightning bolt on their insignia and flag so it could fire Tesla ammo and they could go full circle adding a Winchester Repeater type weapon Tesla weapons in general would be neat to see

[@LucasSouza-kw1wl]

I hope see some part of Pendulum Wars before the E-Day.

[@taafyyy2346]

Sick video abz 😁dying for more gears content

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you!

[@zidaneuddin]

TWERK BOW SUPREMACY 🔥

[@Fire-Emperor]

I kinda hope we see another new UIR weapon this time around.

[@KiingTRell]

I didnt even know the cog had police, ive only known them to have soldiers, I learnes something new today

[@alexsonic8643]

In campaign, what if you can also play between the COG and locust in campaign, because that will make things more F U N

[@predetor911]

And maybe the UIR as well?

[@glowhoo9226]

I wanna play as Jermad. Perfect opportunity since he hasn’t shown up in any of the games.

[@jataviorbyrd2461]

I hope we get weapon mods/customization to a small degree considering their were options in gears tactics to slightly change your weapon buffs

[@travisreed1730]

I've got a cool idea, why not give the Grenadier Ravager the Digger? I mean it makes since, because they could use it to destroy structures, use it for breaching and it could also make them a bigger threat than the standard Grenadier. Maybe give them a Sawed-Off Shotgun as a secondary, and more grenades than average.

[@ghostly8846]

They should bring it all the weapons back from 1 to 3. And Judgement.

[@crown5619]

So many things to wish for imagine seeing Marcus making weapons from random objects possibly having to be stealthy to not get caught but I hope we get more background action like seeing choppers flyby or hearing locust scream from far away even having earthquakes I just hope they make something similar

[@trenchrunner9333]

I reckon the civilian population should be seen with weapons since the books and comics state and show that the cog population was armed, plus all the "ex-gears" would probably have their own stashes. Hell even civvies busting open the pendulum war caches like in Jacinto's remnant.

[@BanishedSilentShadow3318]

There is alot of potential to see new weapons in the game though we'll have to wait and see. It would be interesting to see more locust variant weapons that were likely fazed out as the war went on

[@mylatedroid101]

Honestly I’d love to see new Locust Weapons, specially heavy based weapons for sure. Maybe give them a new Porto hammerburst before the Gears of War 1 kind, maybe something a bit more crude. We also need a new shotgun too

[@jamesxm4240]

Lancer MK2 shouldn’t be there regardless of gameplay purposes

[@signature_e2640]

Why?

[@Subject-106]

Because it wasn't created the time around E-Day. Hell, if I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't have been in Gears of War Judgment either considering the period of time it takes place in.

[@signature_e2640]

@@Subject-106 they put it in judgement for gameplay purposes but if I remember correctly the lancer was thought of 7 weeks after e-day when tai cut a locust with a saw or some other similar tool and the devs said it would be shown in gears e-day so I would say it fits

[@RavenousBear91]

I can see the locust using a shotgun that fires slug rounds made from rockworm skin or other similar material.

[@KingAbzTV]

That would be insane!!!

[@WHISKIETHEOPOSSUM]

My boy the saw off better be in this game or IM GOING KRATOS ON COALITION

[@DeathxRider400]

Congrats on 50k, looking so forward to eday

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you!

[@99BurntLeftovers]

I'd love to see use of a pump shotgun. People could have had them in their homes for defense/hunting/whatever. With a longer barrel, it could have a smaller spread and longer range, but balanced with reduced damage. Or scratch all that and just put the pump on and make it an early gnasher. Lol

[@eidannishidan3794]

a weapon attachement system kinda like Gears tactics would be really cool ! That would make the different Lancer variant much easier to implement and probably make Horde mode much more diverse.

[@adammoore3703]

What about an Elite Grinder variant? We could fight them in pairs, then give them a half-Troika like Raam from gears1.

[@NikosM112]

i don't think the chainsaw lancer will appear in e-day or even later on in the game's campaign. the game will probably take place on e-day and e-day only so some iconic weapons won't exist in the game except for it's multiplayer. Or maybe it will appear if e-day's campaign is not only on e-day but from e-day up until later in the timeline until before gears 1.

[@Love2GameAs1]

The creators said it wouldn’t be gears of war without chainsawing a locust

[@Freezerker]

@@Love2GameAs1 In that case let us use power saws/tools instead of making the lancer appear outta nowhere which wouldn't make any sense.

[@Love2GameAs1]

@@Freezerker well I assume you’ll get a cutscene of marcus witnessing tai chainsawing a locust and Adam fenix coming up with plans possibly the same as the concept art for the actual games being used, I’d genuinely enjoy seeing it pieced together

[@Freezerker]

@@Love2GameAs1 That would be awesome. Haven't been this excited for a Gears of War game since 2010.

[@drenemelia2960]

Be cool to see the gorgon pistol/hammerburst combo from the comics as a closer range, fully automatic, variant of the hammerburst, or even as a prototype version of the gorgon pistol

[@Generalphoenix8438]

I could see them brining judgement weapons back mainly to connect the dots but they should also be careful which ones. For instance some uir weapons might not have been around unless we see modified versions the locusts have. BUT I AGREE THE HAMMERBUST ADDAULT RIFLE SHOULD BE USED AS THE LOCUSTS PRIMARY WEAPON.

[@ArcticRob]

Congrats on 50k brother x

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you broski!

[@creativename5724]

The chainsaw lancer should not be in the campaign in any capacity. It doesn't exist yet.

[@slytherinson8302]

I just want the mark 1 hammer burst

[@travisreed1730]

I also hope that if we get the Grenade Launcher Lancer, i hope the Grenade Launcher fires straight, but still cascades into multiple explosions, and hopefully has more reach.

[@Uncle_ron21]

Alright Abz!!

[@roelej]

The rocketlauncher is going to be banned in multiplayer or a lot of broken contollers.

[@travisreed1730]

I'm going to put it out there, but i hope if the Boomshield returns, you can use the Lancer (or any other main weapon) while you use it, like you could in "Judgement."

[@richardwright359]

Kryll genades??? Thats insane yet super awesome

[@cssib]

Eventually all of them I hope! Gears 5 began bringing some older weapons in

[@Aegxs]

I think a weapon that appears to be a proto Claw from 5 might be a fine addition to the locust army

[@AdvancedEdition]

It would be cool if they actually implemented drivable vehicles, a sandbox like Halo. Having tanks, amv and such. I mean, let us drive a King Raven ffs? Give us more freedom of choice. Yeah i know, we had these things in gears 1,2 and 3, but it was limited.

[@awesomesauces3372]

Also add that we should have an option if we want to enter a vehicle or not.

[@KingAbzTV]

yeah definitely or at least let us ride those rat bikes!

[@jmsgridiron5628]

I wouldn't be against this idea but I also wouldn't be going out of my way to advocate it. Gears has always been boots on the ground infantry combat with very limited vehicle combat. I think I prefer it to stay that way for the most part. Maybe larger battles with larger squads or something would make it better

[@KA-dx2kz]

I'd honestly hate to see more driving besides small parts like gow 4 bike chapters. They did a poor job with gow 5s glider. The second player did nothing but set way points.

[@SUPERPICKLEMOO]

​@@jmsgridiron5628I agree

[@predetor911]

Please, please for the love god give us weapon customisations like in Gears Tactics 🤞🏼 Instead of making the Retro Lancer GL a seperate weapon, just let us replace the bayonet with a grenade launcher, let us equip extended mags, sights and barrels. Also it would be cool to see some sort of COG SMG, I imagine they weren’t very effective and were probably discontinued.

[@KiingTRell]

Yess customize everything, weapons, cars, clothes.

[@travisreed1730]

Damn right! Especially Lancers, Hammerbursts, Longshots, Breechshots, etc. it'd be a cool option if you could customize your Boltok and Snub Pistols or your Gorgon SMG, too.

[@dottietyre9062]

I told my friend Tim a double barrel Winchester Repeater would come full circle in terms of Western style weapons like the Gnasher Shotgun and Boltok Pistol a double barrel Winchester Repeater would make some sense though I don't know what it'd shoot. Or maybe more UIR weapons I saw an Electro-Lancer on DeviantArt with a Lightning Bolt on it that'd be an interesting addition or a COG/UIR equivalent to the Boltok Pistol too

[@Harbinger_of_nurgle]

I’m excited to see more stuff from the pendulum wars

[@wilverine2639]

I would love to have bosses in horde mode that we’ve only encountered in campaign mode such seeders or giant corpsers if there is a horde mode

[@IronDeath.Official]

Only problem with Rocket Launchers is their speed is slow when traveling which is why Gears only kept the Boomshot Grenade Launcher and even that is slow as hell compared to our real life GL's

[@DarknessViper99]

I would love to see novel/comic-only weapons make an appearance, like the Thumper, Longspear, Gutpuncher, etc.

[@adiazpolo]

The master boomer and the siege beasts seem like things that wouldn't make sense in e-day as the master boomer is supposed to be a byproduct of the flooding of jacinto and moving to the Deadlands and the siegebeast seems to be a new appearance since even Baird is horrified that the Locust mangled the creature that is apart of the siegebeast

[@melvinshine9841]

Even if the Hammerburst is the Mark 1 variant, I still fully expect it to not be identical to the Gears 1 version. The Hammerburst is damn near a different weapon in every game it's in. I do hope the Breechshot is in the game, it just felt good to use.

[@Ayden-vi1io]

I hope we get to see kantuses using bo staffs in close clombat like they do in the comic books

[@ibcnmyt259]

I love this game so much Im so happy gears is back! I hope they bring back the war journal from gears of war 3 it was great

[@GambitTM]

If the Breechshot appears, I hope Jermad appears in the game as well. Since his fate is undetermined and was last seen before E-Day (In the comics)

[@nummiebarry519]

Seeing as it was Fenixs first time seeing a Theron (the game also alludes to only Baird and Cole encountering a torque bow before that point) in Tip of The Iceberg in gears one seeing the torque bow and Theron are both heavily unlikely imo

[@travisreed1730]

I've got a compromise for the exclusion of the Butcher and the the theoretical inclusion of the Theron, the Cleaver Theron could make a introduction as shock troops for the Theron Guard or a different subclass of Boomer with the Cleaver and Boomshield.

[@NarkoHamponTV]

Hopefully we have General Raam Weapon to use for multiplayer and campaign

[@youtuber12148]

If Breachshot were to return it should be a Locust sniper rifle with a slower projectile velocity like the Kraber from Titanfall. Also, even if they can fire two rounds with a perfect reload to Longshot, always load a second round in the bolt action after firing the first! (I know this is a personal request that isn't useful...)

[@dannyavery5578]

Cheers fella!! Asking The Coalition to be creative is.....dangerous (and some would say naive). For the MP at least, I hope they go back to slower, weighter movement - a tactical approach to using the cover. Gears 5 is essentially Gears Fortnite. Keep the MP weapons simple, this way it's easier to balance & tune.

[@badrpr69]

Been dying for them to bring back the breechshot since judgment. The only thing i thoroughly enjoyed from that game

[@asuran1155]

I would assume anything pendulum era is going to be included the chainsaw lancer(thanks tai) and most UIR weaponry maybe possibly the H.O.D and likely early emergence locust weaponry

[@PRINGocalypz]

@kingabztv I agree with everything you stated in this excellent video. 👌 💪 However there is one Locust weapon I would leave out of the main campaign is the unfortunately the torque bow. Here me out, in Gears 1, before Delta deploys the resonator at the imulsion pump station in the caverns, that this part when Dom & Marcus meet the Theron Guards for the first time. If memory serves Dom & Marcus discuss the 'wind' making sounds that well sound like the word 'hostiles'. Then bam, Mr. Torque bower himself appears and Marcus says "Ah shit, looks like they upgraded". Then Baird replies "They're Theron Guards. However if can be used in Multiplayer if we really what to keep the lore and story inline.

[@whimsicalman]

You made a lot of good points in your video ABZ. I hope some of the TC devs are up lurking around on KZbin and taking note of the ideas in your videos. Also, for multiplayer, all the weapons you mentioned that were included in the previous gears games should be included in gears E-day without question. TC must put a 100 % effort in giving us the ideal gears games that we’ve wanted for years, we don’t want this to be another gears judgement or gears 5.

[@KingAbzTV]

Thank you and yeah I know a few devs that watch the videos but there could be more who knows! Yeah I really hope they knock it out the park with this game man!

[@whimsicalman]

@@KingAbzTV That’s amazing! I hope you can highlight things that TC shouldn’t include in the next gears title like micro transactions or crazy nonsense collaborations (wwe, terminator etc.) . I think it’s important for them to know and understand where they went wrong with gears 4 and 5 so that they don’t repeat the same mistake with eday and let the fans down again.

[@atcandotherthings4985]

I suspect and hope a lot of the weapons from judgement will be featured

[@RedactorYT]

I want to see some of the UIR weapons return.

[@Scromanoe]

I wish this game was droppin’ next week 😭

[@marsvevo7171]

Hopefully this game just isn’t about the journey of Marcus and Dom. This is a huge chance to bridge gaps and showcase different storylines and generals of each respective army. Maybe even DLC where you play as Myrrah as a child escaping the lab and starting the locust horde

[@hamstez-c6i]

They should do a locust mission were you're on the locust side for chapter or epsiode

[@infamousdnt]

I hope gears e-day will have a campaign all the way up to gear 1 beginning

[@ACanadianMonk]

No Ditty I love your voice I've been watching all your gears lore vids 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Its the greatest. I feel like I learn so much!!

[@KingAbzTV]

Appreciate you 🫡 glad you enjoy the vids!!

[@N7_Bunny]

I wouldn't mind seeing gow 5 weapon but reskin for e day exemple the claw could be reskin to look like the uir lmg , mk3 lancer grenade launcher but with the mk1 lancer like you say. The digger they could create a mk1 version with different designs and explosives.

[@ozziedylan9903]

The Hammer of Dawn, Hammerburst and Gnasher are great

[@Zinx-Core]

Hopefully they return the locust using weapons and hammer of dawn :)

[@LB-hr9vu]

I am really hoping they use the hammerburts mark 1 for E day. hell, Judgment added it into multiplayer later on so it should pop up

[@samuelspry6955]

If the DMR makes an appearance, and even Rocket Launchers, I'd be more than floored. It's so unlikely to see either.

[@OujaStrikeGaming]

I need the breechshot back always hated the markza lol

[@chefyboy2748]

The only "problem" I could see with the UIR weapons is the lore reason as to why they would even be there. I imagine the COG wasn't just stockpiling their enemies' weapons all around after they won the war. I suppose an explanation could be you find UIR weapons as Locust trophies? I suppose if the game takes place near a border area it would be a good excuse to include them. And yeah, seeing some COG police with their own gear would be awesome. I always want to see new and old COG armor so a police setup would be an awesome excuse for an armor set that is a bit lighter armored and abnormal compared to the average COG Gears' armor. The primary reason I even liked Gears tactics is because I got to goof around with armor. Seeing different branches of the COG military would also be cool. Seeing what Raven pilots wear would be epic. And I don't remember if it's canon or not, I don't remember where I saw it, but seeing COG marines in their silver armor would also be crazy cool.

[@TitusGuard]

Some weapons are hard to add this early in gears story but they should be added in multiplayer. That being said please coalition bring back the digger.

[@charliewisdom8885]

I just hope they make the guns feel heavier. I’m playing through all the games, and they all just feel too light in 4 and 5. As you all know, the lancer shoots marshmallows in 5, and the retro just doesn’t have the same heft that it did in 3. As Raam said, “Sear flesh. Rend bone.”

[@IronDeath.Official]

I think the MK1 Hammer will be there since the MK2 wasnt there till Gears 2 and that was 14-15 years after Eday

[@zacharyweaver276]

11:04 maybe a variant of a butcher with a big sword hacking through doors, rubble, and barricades to hunt survivors?

[@KingAbzTV]

that would be cool! But it could have another name instead of butcher

[@zacharyweaver276]

@KingAbzTV yeah of course and phased out later cause big swords weren't needed for later battles

[@Bigshmoke445]

I feel like we need a new pistol, rifle, and hammberburst esk type of guns

[@Workablefan]

Would love for beast mode to come back.

[@fxn09here]

Fun fact: this video is on "gear of war:e-day" even though this game didn't release

[@danielgoodwin4719]

This has nothing to do with the firearms but at the same time I would like to see if there will be any story on captain Michaelson since he was in the novels a bit then they quickly killed him off in gears 3

[@fredhollis3999]

I still think they are to make some Gears of War games based on the pendulum Wars.

[@Wrecknrule97]

I hope we get some new UIR weapons.

[@justbethinking]

my guess is that the game will take place over a year and a half. can’t have a gears game without the mk2, lets not act like judgement would’ve been better without it. if it took place in that time frame, not only would we get to see the creation and idea of the mk2. but we might see cities falling and the hammer strikes being used. i have a feeling anya will play a huge role in this game (edit: i guarantee you we will be in halvo bay apart of omega 2 and we’re going to get a baird and cole cameo.)

[@richardwright359]

A lancer with masterkey shotgun 💯🔥

[@liambrooks20]

Maybe we play as locust? And see their side of the story fighting the lambent?...how about that for a thought?
