Gears of War: Judgment's Pre-Order Weapon

In preparation for Gears of War: Judgment's March 19 release date on Xbox 360, Microsoft has announced a pre-order weapon that packs a punch.

The Classic Hammerburst is a multiplayer-exclusive pre-order weapon that fires six rounds at once. It was, apparently, a standard-issue weapon for the Locust armies on Emergence Day. Take a look at it in action in the short trailer below.

Microsoft also says that multiplayer skins (including Anya, Young Dom, and Young Marcus) will be announced for the game's pre-order campaign at a later date, and that there will also be retailer-specific pre-order content. Whether this refers to the multiplayer skins or is something else entirely is unknown.

  • wait... why would anyone want the hammerburst??
  • I'm still undecided about this game. I'm waiting to get a better look at how things are shaping up.
  • It seems similiar to the Gorgon pistol... I guess that's cool

  • Anyone think that game sequels are like movie sequels? You gotta know when to stop a series and move on.
  • I mite actually get this game.

  • I'll stick to the lancer, but cool anyways.

  • Ah...this brings back the days when "I" was playing Gears 1 and was using the lancer and totally ignored the hammerburst.
  • I don't know how to feel about Gears anymore.

  • Must have.

  • Nice! That is looking nice!

  • A preorder bonus that actually changes game balance and not just aesthetics? Gears, please remember who you are.
  • I hope the Skins aren't pre-order exclusive. It's getting old. ...I just want Anya, anyway.
  • 6-burst ... cool!

  • What an ammo hog.
  • Nice. I can't wait.

  • A decent preorder bonus. I'm still on the fence about buying this game.

  • Yes! I loved the old Hammerburst!

  • Cool
