A throwback to Gears 3, this Versus Event is all about you versus another player. Set on the 2 v 2 Mercy map, this throws you into the Mercy Church to try and secure the victory. Oh, and of course the Gears 3 filter is enabled for this.
A special medal group is available to be completed during this, and you can find the full details on that below.
No Mercy | Complete 10 rounds | 4 | [/tr]
Got Another! | Do 25,000 damage | 5 | [/tr]
Ain't So Tough | Get 25 kills | 5 | [/tr]
That's gotta hurt | Win 5 matches | 6 | [/tr]
Completion of this medal group will grant 3,000 Gear Coins!

Horde Mania features fast, intense waves and an extremely short build time. Your team will feel the pressure of near-constant action across 25 waves. All maps will be in rotation during this event, and we can't wait to see just how messy this will get!
