Gears of War 4’s Horde mode is more intense than ever before

Horde 3.0 co-op mode is perhaps one of the highlights of Gears of War 4, the blockbuster exclusive coming from Microsoft to the Xbox One and PC on October 11. It turns the gritty, bloody, and over-the-top comical gameplay of Gears into survival of the fittest. Horde mode is intense, and it will leave you screaming at some point when you finally succumb to waves of enemies.

With Horde 3.0, up to five human players team up to defend a space. They can take advantage of the Fabricator, a machine that can build fortifications and weapons such as barriers, sentries, turrets, decoys, and weapons lockers. This mode is so fun that it’s one reason why players stick with the game so long, and it’s another reason why Gears of War has become a $1 billion franchise with 45 million players to date.
