Checkout

Revisit the iconic supermarket in Cole’s hometown of Hanover 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3 in this Legacy Map. Much like the rest of Sera, nature is reclaiming whatever it can following the Locust Wars, but that hasn’t slowed the fast, furious and frenetic combat that takes place between the checkout lanes and the electronics department.

Drydock

Transported from a COG ship building facility to a ship breaking scrapyard on a Seran mudflat, this fan favorite returns with a vengeance to Gears of War 4 Versus Multiplayer and Horde modes.

In addition to the release of these fan favorite maps, tune into Xbox Wire on November 1 for a sneak peek at the Run the Jewels “Air Drop” featuring playable Killer Mike and EL-P characters for Versus Multiplayer and Horde.

Gears of War 4 and the Gears of War 4 Season Pass are available now at your local retailer, including Microsoft Stores and microsoftstore.com. Season Pass owners also receive five exclusive digital items as part of the Vintage VIP Pack, including the Vintage JD character skin, Vintage Gnasher and Dropshot weapon skins, Vintage JD Emblem and Vintage JD Bounty for extra XP; permanent DLC map ownership of over 24 additional maps (two per month for a year) for private play on dedicated servers; access to an exclusive Developer Playlist where new maps, modes and features can be tested prior to broad release; and the Starter Airdrop, a care package that outfits gamers with over a dozen Gear Packs and grants assorted character and weapon skins, Horde skills and abilities, and XP boosting bounties. Pick up the Gears of War 4 Ultimate Edition to get the Season Pass and base game bundled at a discount.

* Drydock and Checkout will be available in Versus Dodgeball and Arms Race modes for squads up to three large and Horde players on Normal difficulty in the Developer Playlist period.

Awesome. Great Gears 3 maps.

Soulflarz · Oct 28, 2016

Checkout is such a fun map <3

The Ummah · Oct 28, 2016

Checkout, very nice!! Looks like I'm getting that One S next month, I need my fix!

backflip10019 · Oct 28, 2016

"New."

EL CUCO · Oct 28, 2016

As promised.

Thanks, TC

Now just make progression actually worth a damn and we'll be playing non-stop

Space_nut · Oct 28, 2016

Based Coalition!!

Theorry · Oct 28, 2016

Great. But i hope we dont get "old" maps every month.

The Flash · Oct 28, 2016

Aww yeah. Checkout was one of my favs in Gears 3. Hope they bring back Thrashball Stadium.

Crimsonclaw111 · Oct 28, 2016

So, is the PC version still played? Idk if there are bots yet.

BHK3 · Oct 28, 2016

Can't wait for the gears 2 maps to roll in

PC version is still active on East US. Don't have a problem finding a game, but it depends on the playlist and time of day, too.

Bots are in, but only in certain playlists.

Also, they're going to be testing crossplay for versus to see if it'll be fair. They'll be running weekends following the first title update (which should arrive with these maps).

pizzacat · Oct 28, 2016

Drydock huh? Idk about that

etta · Oct 28, 2016

Well at least it's better than 343i's Forge "maps".
Both seem like fun maps to play in.

Oh really? Good. Worth a shot to see if it's viable I say.

They also gonna test crossplay for Social. So maybe in the future the pool gets even bigger.

superNESjoe · Oct 28, 2016

Excellent, so glad we're getting old maps. I don't even link the names or looks of the new maps very well because they just don't have the same character and unique design as many of the favorite classic maps.

I want new maps too, of course, but none of the base maps in Gears 4 hit me like classics like Checkout, Escalation, Raven Down, Canals, River, etc do.

I would prefer to Embar or Dropshot you if old, much more satisfying.

MarveI · Oct 28, 2016

Checkout might just be my fav Gears map. So cool.

Hope more classics follow.

KDC720 · Oct 28, 2016

Checkout is a great map, I was never too keen on Drydock but more maps are more maps.

I hope they bring back some of my Gears 2 favorites like River and Jacinto, also all new maps.

The Driver · Oct 28, 2016

Lmao of course the RTJ characters are placed in airdrops.

pitchfork · Oct 28, 2016

River next please!

Social is the one you'll find games very quickly in. Others take a bit longer

My exact thoughts

RSTEIN · Oct 28, 2016

CHECKOUT!

Perfect Blue · Oct 28, 2016

Very nice.

Now fix the weapon skins and characters.

Hyped for Checkout, loved that map.

blakep267 · Oct 28, 2016

chaosmaster(1) · Oct 28, 2016

I absolutely love checkout. It's my favourite map from Gears 3 and it's dope for customs.

m23 · Oct 28, 2016

Checkout is goat.

Scully Scully Scoo · Oct 28, 2016

checkout is great, drydock not so much. would have preferred trenches instead or that stadium map trashball i think

EchoChamber · Oct 28, 2016
