Gears of War 4 getting two new maps as part of this month’s update

4.5
The Gears of War 4 May update is nearly here, and it’s bringing two new maps with it.

First up is Dawn, an entirely new map designed by The Coalition. Set in an abandoned mining colony near an Outsider village, Dawn sets players fighting over the Dropshot spawn. It features both high and low flanks through the entrenched mines, and if you want to risk it all, there’s one direct but dangerous path leading straight to the weapon.

The second map is a returning favorite, revamped for Gears of War 4: Security. Originally from Gears of War 2, Security has been “worked extensively to bring this map up to modern graphical and gameplay standards.”

Defensive lasers play a big part in Security, and they’ve been completely reworked.

“In King of the Hill and one of the key central rings on Escalation, the security lasers will only block the side entrances to the top sandbags to focus on opening flanks rather than blocking off entire areas,” a description on the Xbox website reads. “In addition, the lasers are activated in Horde when pressing the button (rather than disabled), offering a short defensive window that kills enemies as they try to run through it. Time your press just right to decimate groups of enemies getting too close to your base.”


Additionally, Benjamin Carmine from Gears of War 2 can be found in May Gear Packs, back from the dead as Zombie Ben Carmine.

That’s all for new content this month, but Windows 10 players with serious gaming rigs can enjoy one additional feature: multi-GPU support. Players with multiple graphics card setups can now push their systems to the limit.
