You can’t have a triple-A release without DLC these days, and Gears of War 3 is getting its first DLC expansion sooner than we thought. Microsoft issued a press release announcing that the first Gears of War 3 add-on, entitled the “Horde Command Pack,” will be available November 1. The cost is a measly eight hundred Microsoft points, or free if you bought the Gears of War 3 season pass.



The DLC will included new characters, new weapons, new upgrades, and new maps. Here are the features listed by the presser:

Three spectacular new maps:

  • Blood Drive – The Jacinto Medical Plaza was overwhelmed by evacuated citizens after the government-sanctioned Hammer Strikes, and the ensuing riots quickly turned this safe haven into a dangerous inferno. An abundance of high ground and funneled choke points make this map a returning favorite to Horde.

  • Rustlung – Once the pride of the Royal Tyran Navy, the foredecks of this decommissioned battleship are now riddled with bullet holes. Any team with the fortitude to hold the exposed central torpedo bay will find that the ship’s Loader has been replaced with a battle-ready Silverback mech suit.

  • Azura – This island resort was once the exclusive domain of Sera’s educated elite, but the tranquil water gardens and lush foliage have become a hotly contested combat zone. Dual snipers overlook a powerful explosive weapon, while the defensive central platform may be your last resort of retreat.

    New fortification upgrades:

  • Command Center – A brand new type of fortification that allows you to call in fire support from sniper teams, mortar strikes and even multiple Hammers of Dawn.

  • Decoy Upgrade – A new fortification level that turns your decoy into an Onyx Guard bot that will fight in your defense.

  • Sentry Upgrade – This upgrade adds a fire bolt sentry that deals much more damage and is very effective against Berserkers.

  • Silverback Upgrade – This advancement allows you to upgrade your Silverback exo-suit with devastating rockets and extra levels of repair cost reduction.

    New characters:

  • Onyx Guard
  • Big Rig Dizzy
  • Bernie

    New weapon skins:

  • Team Plasma
  • Jungle Camo


    Simply put, you are getting a whole lot of content for ten measly dollars. So if you are into Gears of War 3, you might as well pick up the Horde Command Pack.
