Gears of War 4 Beta Rewards Revealed

With the Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta scheduled to kick off very soon, developer The Coalition has now announced the special rewards players can earn for reaching level 20.

All players who hit that mark will receive "vintage" skins for the lancer, the pistol, and the character Kait. Additionally, players will receive a vintage Kait emblem and a bounty card that offers double XP for one match. You can see all of the rewards in the image below.

These rewards will be granted to players when Gears of War 4 launches in October.

The Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta starts on April 18 for people who played Gears of War Ultimate Edition on Xbox One or PC by April 11. After an "early access" period for these players wraps up on April 24, an open beta for all Xbox Live Gold users will run April 25-May 1.

In other news about the beta, during The Coalition's livestream later today (April 15) the studio will hand out codes that let you jump in right away, before everyone else. You can also check out this post to see exactly how and when beta codes will be distributed in the coming days.
