Gears of War 4 Update Makes It Easier to Get Credits

Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition has released an update for the game that makes it easier to acquire Credits, the currency used to purchase booster cards that impact your skills and performance.

In a blog post, The Coalition said the adjustments were made based on monitoring player data and feedback. The cost of the Elite Pack Credit has been reduced from 4000 to 3500 and the match completion bonus credits in Versus Multiplayer has been increased.

As noted in the blog post, match bonuses are awarded regardless of whether you win or lose, though victory yields more XP and credit bonuses.

"This should provide a higher and more consistent Credit earn rate across our modes, with the levelling milestone drops of 500 Credits and Credit bounties also helping you on your road to your next pack," The Coalition said.

It also said "there is now a known bug that may display you earned 0 Credits from your match bonus," but assured players the match bonus credits and XP are still allocated.

"You should see your true gain reflected in your Credit Wallet in the main menu. We are fixing this bug in a future title update," it explained.

In GameSpot's Gears of War 4 review the fourth entry in the mainline series earned an 7/10.

"This is a shooter teetering on the edge of something greater, but despite the improvements it makes to the storied franchise, its missteps hold it back," said Mike Mahardy.

"There is inspiration here, and creativity in the way Gears of War 4 rethinks its multiplayer modes. But the lackluster campaign and technical issues are blights on an otherwise exhilarating shooter. The result is a whole that doesn't reflect the quality of its often stellar parts."
