my first pack was the female elite. I have opened about...... 12 packs now ish and I got 3/4 characters and quite a lot of the skins. just missing the male elite... female elite looks the best though
I say this with the upmost respect for gears of War since I have been a long time fan. But FUCK gears of War 4 multiplayer. Gnasher point blanks being 83 percent is the biggest load of crap I have ever seen. And active reload with them gives you a 88 percent in damage. Social matches don't give you enough xp at all and ranked everyone leaves yet they still don't give any penalty strikes against those players that quit early. I believe gears 4 has a good campaign and they have perfected horde in this game from gears 3 horde. But multiplayer is a far cry from what gears of War 3 was
BigSid93 No kidding. I went 1v1 with a dude and we shot at the same time at literally the same distance and he fucking blows up my body and i did 41% damage. Unreal
I played with this guy who had a frozen skin on his boomshot. I asked where he got it from and he said gearsmas pack but I never saw frozen skins in the gearsmas packs. any ideas?
in the character selection when you look at a UIR character instead of saying starter or whatever pack they are from it just says UIR Preview. I wonder what they mean by preview.
I spent all my remaining credits on 6 packs. Didn't get either Elite but I got both Aspho UIRs. I like them more anyway because they stand out from the COG. I shouldn't have spent 15K on those Gearsmas packs, they're ugly anyway. I just wanted the scrap
Well, they re released those packs yesterday (27th) as they reappeared mid morning here in the UK. So my advice is this, if you are desperate for those characters and have credits available, I would go for the packs now. Nothing has changed in the price point and will only be available for a limited time. I thought the 10th anniversary packs for 400 were a good way to do the packs and clearly greed has played a large part here :(
10 hours, 3 packs each with one character. 1. female UIR, 2. male UIR, 3. Elite female UIR. My target was for the regular male UIR. luck was on my side this time.
Im sitting on about 85,000 credits! Still not gona buy these packs! What the fuck happened to season pass holders? First gears and forza? Sort your shit out M$
I've have been wondering about this too season pass gets you nothing pretty much at all and i'm getting pretty sick of it. Season pass in gears 3 gave you everything because you already paid that's the whole point i don't know what is happening to gears now man i have a season pass and it means nothing
It brags about you being vip and everything but you can just play the maps if you wait enough like every non-season pass holder. I understand we get those maps for private match as well and we have a couple of chracters and stuff but it would be cool if we got something like permanent credit mutiplier or something along those lines. But thats how I see it. Of course I dont expect them to change the way they are doing new maps because back in gears 3 my friend never got a hold of the season pass or any dlc for that matter so we ended up having to play player hosted servers which sucked cause sometimes the lag was so bad. That is actually a change I was happy about in Gears 4. Point is, my original comment. I just wanted to brag a little on this comment I guess. Lol
Yeah it's a pretty big slap in the face to anyone who has a season pass it's a huge waste of money that i wish i wouldn't have spent honestly i even waiting a little longer to save up a little more money to get the ultimate edition on the game for pretty much nothing, i got what maybe 1 character and 2 skins wow i'm sure glad i paid $100 in stead of 65 - 70 bucks thanks a lot coalition it's just sad man for real
I saved 44k credits, bought 10 packs and got lucky on my pulls tbh. I got the UIR Elite male & female, regular UIR female, elite dropshot, elite gnasher, elite longshot, elite markza & elite snub. The ONE weapon I wanted and prayed to get was the Elite retro lancer...but yay for fucking duplicates.
This is just insane, bro. I can't believe this microtransaction and random generated system within the gears pack are ruining the game. This is so unfair for the players and it's an excuse for running out of money. When I bought the Esports Gears Pack 2, I suffered this bad treatment. I bought 15 hoping the system changed and no, I'm only missing one legendary character. That's the price for full games and I'm gonna miss Holiday Sales thanks to my naivety. This needs to stop. I won't buy with my money a gears pack never again. Never. The Coalition can't be more greedy than this. Keep the fantastic work, bro. Cheers!
Unlucky m8, i think the most I would spend on a UIR pack would be 1000 credits! For credit farming do you just do the first 5 waves of horde on insane then quit, and keep repeating?
i got an Elite male UIR in my second pack that was the only character i got. When i play versus online I've yet to see anybody with the female elite UIR character.
KING x BAPHOMET and judgement messed up because so many people are willing pay shit loads for character skins lmao.. think of it from a buisness standpoint. how could you be mad? at the end of the day i get a game with great competitive gameplay. and the devs get money to make a better game and better future titles...
What kills me about this is if they were going to price them so damn high why not give us some kind of heads up? Just like I know everyone did with the Gearsmas packs we grinded for a week and a half or so from their announcement to get enough credits to buy a lot of packs. So they dropped them, for 400 credits, cool! However, I honestly believe there was an alternative motive to doing this. They knew that everyone would spend all their credits on Gearsmas packs. They knew that everyone was really looking forward to the UIR packs more so than the Gearsmas packs. So they dropped them for 4,400 credits in a 24 hour window without any kind of warning. This only leads me to believe that the sole motive for this was to influence players to spend their real life hard earned cash on these crap boxes. I'm sick of this practice. I've never seen microtransactions abused so terribly. I'm so fed up.
so I was desperate enough to buy two packs and got nothing. then finally reach 4400 credits opened up one more pack and...nothing! wtf screw you coalition. so pissed off.
I'm amazed at how upbeat you are able to stay, relatively that is. The forums are ablaze right now. But seeing how much more negative you are about these packs compared to the previous videos says a lot. 10 hours for 50 bucks worth of packs, it's like a minor's minimum wage.
i only bought one with credits, which i could only afford. i got the Elite in it, luckily. but it does piss me off knowing how they did this right after those trashy gearsmas packs..
Been a huge fan of Gears since 2007 but never got an Xbox One so I haven't played GoW4, but considering how much i've heard about the microtransactions I had to look this up. Yeah this looks terrible, there're asking players to repeatedly grind horde and MP just to have enough credits to effectively play a roulette. In Gears 3 it said in the War Journal if you wanted to unlock a certain character (e.g. Unarmoured Marcus), here's exactly how you do it (e.g. Complete the campaign on any difficulty). With these packs there's no guarantee you'll even get them, and also putting a time constraint on these UIR packs is also just cruel.
Agreed, it is a bit frustrating at times, but I'm actually glad the characters are hard to get. I spent about 12 hours to get a couple packs myself. I believe you need to work like crazy to get them. I luv playn gow4 anyway, so it's no biggie. It's all in good fun.
i got the elite guy, retro lancer, drop shot, rainbow neon pistol, and zombi emblem, out of the first and only pack i could buy with my Cr. I got what i wanted first try, but my fried has been grind the fk out of it the entire day and hasn't getting anything other than guns, and emblems.
I think I'm the only one who isn't bothered by the pack system, I disagree that you can just straight up purchase the characters, because that's just cheating in my opinion. Otherwise though I like it, because yeah it's annoying when I don't get what I wanted, but when I do it makes me feel like I've accomplished something, because of the fact that they can be so hard to get.
They are probably going to release a complete edition with all the dlc at some point but by then all the servers will be down so you can't access jack shit lol
Soz to say thiz dude but i only opened two packz and got a male UIR Elite in each of them. I do think they are over priced though, and tbh honest i waznt even going to bother seeing az i havnt had the best of luck with the normal packz. Coz if i have to see another pine or urban weapon skin im just going to go mad :-D
These packs are a prime example of why microtransactions don't belong in games like Gears of War. Like you said SAS, you spent 10 fucking hours of grinding for these overpriced packs and you get 2 characters and some weapon skins, does this feel rewarding? after spending so much time working your ass off only to get screwed over by the RNG system. People shouldn't just boycott these UIR packs but also the others, Gears of War needs to go back to a fixed reward system where players can actually unlock skins and characters the right way, by leveling up, playing matches, doing certain objectives for specific rewards such as getting x amount of ribbons, getting the master medal for a weapon you used in multiplayer or doing x amount of executions for a character and weapon skin. This sounds a lot more fun and rewarding than getting something out of a pack that gives you random rewards.
GG for grinding all day for us to get to see these packs, man. Absolute hero.
overpriced packs. devs sucks, bring back epic games.
Brother Centallus this shits fucking golden ^^^^^^^
The community outrage told the coalition we're tired of the way they treat us like customers and not fans
HaloFlashMob thank god they did that
HaloFlashMob good
Brian. Jr Montoya what happened to the UIR pack? it dissappear? I just need some explanation
Alex Hernandez they were only available for 24 hours, and will be back on Christmas for a week.
Brian. Jr Montoya ah I see but it better be little less cheap
I hate the coalition for this
I only got one pack and got the female elite.
At least you got one. I didn't get shit.
my first pack was the female elite. I have opened about...... 12 packs now ish and I got 3/4 characters and quite a lot of the skins. just missing the male elite... female elite looks the best though
Now imagine if he spent $50 for the 5 UIR packs thats the same price as the season pass!!!
Mazharul Alam not sure whats worse buying the season pass or buying 50 quids worth of packs
I say this with the upmost respect for gears of War since I have been a long time fan. But FUCK gears of War 4 multiplayer. Gnasher point blanks being 83 percent is the biggest load of crap I have ever seen. And active reload with them gives you a 88 percent in damage. Social matches don't give you enough xp at all and ranked everyone leaves yet they still don't give any penalty strikes against those players that quit early. I believe gears 4 has a good campaign and they have perfected horde in this game from gears 3 horde. But multiplayer is a far cry from what gears of War 3 was
BigSid93 do get lag to
BigSid93 No kidding. I went 1v1 with a dude and we shot at the same time at literally the same distance and he fucking blows up my body and i did 41% damage. Unreal
Jack Mae The inconsistency is enough drive you insane
i swear to fucking god 83% is the only number i get. its fucking pathetic.
TheMrPandabeast Right? and then you don't get 83 assist points after its dealt? Like wtf?
Epic games come back we need you. REMAKE GEARS OF WAR 3
Secrett Knight Not going to happen, plus Epic Games is doing the same whit Paragorn. I believe Microsoft is the one to blame
Norck would be so beautiful if they did remake gow3
I think all of the packs are a rip off and the coalition knows it, but doesn't give a shit because they make money
I played with this guy who had a frozen skin on his boomshot. I asked where he got it from and he said gearsmas pack but I never saw frozen skins in the gearsmas packs. any ideas?
Is the uir gear packs still available?
are uir packs coming back or is it finished already
in the character selection when you look at a UIR character instead of saying starter or whatever pack they are from it just says UIR Preview. I wonder what they mean by preview.
I honestly appreciate that you grinded the game for credits..and took you 10 hrs to get a video damn
Good to see that you didn't pay actual money for these
When do the packs come back
Can someone plz tell me when these packs are available or are they gone, ive missed out on this :(
10 hrs straight!! dang dedication
I got 2 packs and I got the same emblem and the same UIR character in both packs.
I've bought about 50 Gearsmas packs and yet to get Kate.
Is lee can colorblind?
gears of war 4 can go to hell. screw this game. I am just pissed
5:23 he's managing his inner rage so well I would've thrown something
I can't believe I was an idiot and bought the $100 version of the game when season pass owners don't get shit... Never again Coalition.
these packs are still not out in Canada wtf ??
I spent all my remaining credits on 6 packs. Didn't get either Elite but I got both Aspho UIRs. I like them more anyway because they stand out from the COG. I shouldn't have spent 15K on those Gearsmas packs, they're ugly anyway. I just wanted the scrap
I hope the UIR characters are added to the normal gear packs, and this is just a way to introduce them with improved chances of getting them
you're dream came true bro lol
i got 2 dupes back to back of the legendary UIR ELITE Female it was very sad to not get the other UIR elite out of my 6 packs.
props to him grinding the game and not giving money to a gaming company that rips of its fans
You know he lowkey paid for a couple of packs after for the characters 😂
Thomas Burgundy boy salty 😂 I got legendary and epic and I only bought 2 packs 😭😂
Terrence Williams ha! UIR suck anyway, we need locust.
not paying I can want until cole train and all Carmine.
Wedge I said the cole train outfits! The hype train not old train!
Wedge sorry you know want I mean
carl street carmines & the onyx guard is all i want
Pulling Strings me too we all do!😪
Pulling Strings its sad to see all the Carmine not in the game feel so weird like we miss someing important?
Well, they re released those packs yesterday (27th) as they reappeared mid morning here in the UK.

I opened 2 of them and got none of the items I wanted I got skins on the first and a female aspho uir in the second with some emblems
They should really consider in making a trading action with friends, where you can chance your Duplicates instead of just scrapping them!
Make gears great again! As everyone else has said, this is bullshit...
Im sitting on about 85,000 credits! Still not gona buy these packs! What the fuck happened to season pass holders? First gears and forza? Sort your shit out M$
o War Cloud o Yea as a season pass holder, I really dont feel I am getting my $$$ worth as it stands now.
o War Cloud o forza season pass aint that bad. You get an expansion and car packs i think
I've have been wondering about this too season pass gets you nothing pretty much at all and i'm getting pretty sick of it. Season pass in gears 3 gave you everything because you already paid that's the whole point i don't know what is happening to gears now man i have a season pass and it means nothing

I mean, who the hell wants Emblems, its a waste of space of the gear packs.
I bought one with in game currency and got the legendary female and normal Aspho Female. Pretty happy.
This is just insane, bro. I can't believe this microtransaction and random generated system within the gears pack are ruining the game. This is so unfair for the players and it's an excuse for running out of money. When I bought the Esports Gears Pack 2, I suffered this bad treatment.

I had three epics, was so pumped. when I hit reveal all the only character was a fucking outsider del
I tried to stay positive didn't work out
If coalition changes prices it'll suck for everyone who spent a lot of credits
Unlucky m8, i think the most I would spend on a UIR pack would be 1000 credits! For credit farming do you just do the first 5 waves of horde on insane then quit, and keep repeating?
great vid :)
Gears of War 4 is a great game, but this upset me deeply. Makes me want to shed a tear. :,(
In Monday should we be getting duplicates the way we do. Shit is ridiculous my man.
I bought 2 packs and got no characters.
DyNaMiC KhAoSs im...I'm...So....
sorry:( this is shit!!!!
Hayden Davidson I got the female :D but than waisted 6 hr of my life 😢
i feel your pain bro.I'm always here for you doe
ya know if you tap A fast and you scroll to the right fast as possible 50/50 you'll get really good stuff, Thats my own little glitch :)
I get really good shit in horde boosters
😡I paid $$$ and still did not get one uir character
Never use real money on RNG packs.
1 poor guy yesterday spent 116,000 credits and got nothing but emblems and duplicate weapon skins. He did not get 1 UIR character
i got an Elite male UIR in my second pack that was the only character i got. When i play versus online I've yet to see anybody with the female elite UIR character.
Fabian Ramirez Really? all I've seen are female uir elite in horde. Haven't seen anyone using the uir in versus
I got the female elite in my first pack =) Its the best looking one as well.
smidget whittington i agree i wanted the female elite UIR
I got the same character in both packs that I opened. I spent all day playing for the same character, bullshit.
Dylan Campbell at least you got a character I didn't get shit
+słump gød that's just unlucky
I wasted 23k on 5 packs n got the UIR female in all of em....
even judgment gave you packs on kills/wins and xp
KING x BAPHOMET and judgement messed up because so many people are willing pay shit loads for character skins lmao.. think of it from a buisness standpoint. how could you be mad? at the end of the day i get a game with great competitive gameplay. and the devs get money to make a better game and better future titles...
I bought one pack at 9.99 and got the elite blue uir character out of that first pack. RNG jesus is real.
What kills me about this is if they were going to price them so damn high why not give us some kind of heads up? Just like I know everyone did with the Gearsmas packs we grinded for a week and a half or so from their announcement to get enough credits to buy a lot of packs. So they dropped them, for 400 credits, cool! However, I honestly believe there was an alternative motive to doing this. They knew that everyone would spend all their credits on Gearsmas packs. They knew that everyone was really looking forward to the UIR packs more so than the Gearsmas packs. So they dropped them for 4,400 credits in a 24 hour window without any kind of warning. This only leads me to believe that the sole motive for this was to influence players to spend their real life hard earned cash on these crap boxes. I'm sick of this practice. I've never seen microtransactions abused so terribly. I'm so fed up.
Who else tried to solo koth trying to get these dam things?
Got the two male UIR guys from one pack haha. So happy
Saved up for one pack, no characters, I was so done with Gears lol Taking a break and hopped on Halo 5.
Only skins for me... I couldn't land a character and I opened two packs.
No love!
What's funny is these packs are removed from the store
sad times i got UIR ELITE Male on my one and only 1st UIR pack
so I was desperate enough to buy two packs and got nothing. then finally reach 4400 credits opened up one more pack and...nothing! wtf screw you coalition. so pissed off.
I'm amazed at how upbeat you are able to stay, relatively that is. The forums are ablaze right now. But seeing how much more negative you are about these packs compared to the previous videos says a lot. 10 hours for 50 bucks worth of packs, it's like a minor's minimum wage.
Wait there only our for 24 hours?! I feel bad for people who don't have at least one of them
i only bought one with credits, which i could only afford. i got the Elite in it, luckily. but it does piss me off knowing how they did this right after those trashy gearsmas packs..
Do you play on Xbox one
Wolf Man PS4 bro
Wolf Man no..😑 ps4
I had 10k creds saved up and I bought two packs and got the male elite....these packs are stupidly expensive though 😑
I brought a pack and got 3 emblems
Been a huge fan of Gears since 2007 but never got an Xbox One so I haven't played GoW4, but considering how much i've heard about the microtransactions I had to look this up. Yeah this looks terrible, there're asking players to repeatedly grind horde and MP just to have enough credits to effectively play a roulette.

Yup gears guys just like the halo situation back at 343
Got the male elite my first try lol
bought 1 pack with money to ensure I got the epic characters, got uir female elite and uir male epic
Agreed, it is a bit frustrating at times, but I'm actually glad the characters are hard to get. I spent about 12 hours to get a couple packs myself. I believe you need to work like crazy to get them. I luv playn gow4 anyway, so it's no biggie. It's all in good fun.
ASPHO. not aspo. the ph makes an F sound...............
Stop buying the packs. With money or credits. Just stop buying them. They will figure it out.
Well I spent all my credit for tow packs! I was hopping to get the male blued colored uir but ended up with the female one :)
i got the elite guy, retro lancer, drop shot, rainbow neon pistol, and zombi emblem, out of the first and only pack i could buy with my Cr. I got what i wanted first try, but my fried has been grind the fk out of it the entire day and hasn't getting anything other than guns, and emblems.
I got a weapon skin for the markza...I hate that weapon, only I wanted was a character just one and I would have been happy
I think I'm the only one who isn't bothered by the pack system, I disagree that you can just straight up purchase the characters, because that's just cheating in my opinion. Otherwise though I like it, because yeah it's annoying when I don't get what I wanted, but when I do it makes me feel like I've accomplished something, because of the fact that they can be so hard to get.
had 2 uir packs and got both legendary characters
I didn't buy one pack i spent my 5000C on verses packs....
you are my fav youtuber
They are probably going to release a complete edition with all the dlc at some point but by then all the servers will be down so you can't access jack shit lol
I got the UIR Elite (female) on both my accounts in my first pack
I got my first uir elite on the first pack
RIP The Coalition these packs have just written you obituary
I bought 5 and got all 4 characters and some of the camos
The last two packs he opened were practically the same, rip.
Soz to say thiz dude but i only opened two packz and got a male UIR Elite in each of them. I do think they are over priced though, and tbh honest i waznt even going to bother seeing az i havnt had the best of luck with the normal packz. Coz if i have to see another pine or urban weapon skin im just going to go mad :-D
at least you got a male and female UIR. I bought 3 packs and didn't get shit!! so pissed @ the coalition!
if people ate paying 10pounds now tjere no way they will be cheaper after christmas it would be unfair to them
It only took me 2 tries to get the uir elite even it's FEMALE ;D
or you could just wait till they come out next time and hope coalation listens to us and lowers the price
Greatest Ever That is exactly what I am doing. Too much grinding for a non-guaranteed reward.
Rumors are though 4400 is sales price. The price could go up but honestly don't know or care anymore. I won't play Gears till 5 comes out.
they are back with the same price
These packs are a prime example of why microtransactions don't belong in games like Gears of War. Like you said SAS, you spent 10 fucking hours of grinding for these overpriced packs and you get 2 characters and some weapon skins, does this feel rewarding? after spending so much time working your ass off only to get screwed over by the RNG system. People shouldn't just boycott these UIR packs but also the others, Gears of War needs to go back to a fixed reward system where players can actually unlock skins and characters the right way, by leveling up, playing matches, doing certain objectives for specific rewards such as getting x amount of ribbons, getting the master medal for a weapon you used in multiplayer or doing x amount of executions for a character and weapon skin. This sounds a lot more fun and rewarding than getting something out of a pack that gives you random rewards.
The sad thing is, it could have worked if it was done right.
I got uir elte on my second pack and thats the only credits i had :)
I had 3 epic and 1 legendary in my first uir pack 😋
