Gears Of War 4 Multiplayer Update Drops Pack Costs, Ups Credit Rewards
After taking in feedback from the community in the days following the Gears of War 4 Ultimate Edition launch, The Coalition is loosening up its stingy credit system for multiplayer just in time for the broader release.
The developer outlined its new plans in a forum post, which includes dropping the price of an Elite Pack from 4,000 to 3,500 credits and increasing the match completion bonus credits in versus multiplayer. The Coalition hopes this speeds up the progression for players.
The update also comes with a known bug that may say you earned zero credits for a match completion bonus. "If you see this, you still earned your match bonus credits and XP," the forum post reads. "You should see your true gain reflected in your Credit Wallet in the main menu. We are fixing this bug in a future title update."

Our Take
The Coalition has ambitious goals for Gears of War 4 multiplayer, going as far as creating an eSports tab on its website. Given the seriousness of that endeavor, staying on top of issues like these is paramount.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
