    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I purchased black steel Queen Myrrah and the payment went through, but I received an error and didn’t receive the skin in game. Restarted the game and still don’t have the skin. Can you please provide assistance?

  • Dur4iVal3ntin Durai Valentin (@Dur4iVal3ntin) reported

    @GearsofWar People care too much about skins (they are awful btw) rather than gameplay issues or map issues

  • TobiasSpecht3 Tobias Specht (@TobiasSpecht3) reported

    @CoalitionGears I get Weapon Skins from Operation 7 but not the new from Op 8 plz fix it!

  • ARXGAMING_ Joshjjk (@ARXGAMING_) reported

    @princexile @CoalitionGears Also I’ve seen your tweets saying “Coalition suck” because they can’t get a update out on time or simply because there are server issues going on. How arrogant are you? There is a pandemic going on still lots of people working from home. Those normal issues happen with all Devs.

  • YIX2x ً (@YIX2x) reported

    @CoalitionGears PLEASE FIX LEADERBOARD

  • DarkBloodDemon5 DarkBlood Anime Demon (@DarkBloodDemon5) reported

    @GearsofWar and @CoalitionGears fix your game I bought BS Myrrah and OP 8 and still did not have them. Emergency!!!!

  • GnasherPower Let’s get Gnashty (@GnasherPower) reported

    @CoalitionGears There's a surprise. No Operation thus far had a launch without any issues. Of course, The Coalition has no idea what they're doing, per usual.

  • SarahMi98771336 Sarah Middleton (@SarahMi98771336) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny Unable to play anything….not, quick play, not horde, etc. And, also unable to see what’s in the store or characters. Please fix soon. 🙏

  • aarondamron1988 aaron (@aarondamron1988) reported

    @noewanspecial @iGnashtys @GearsofWar ??? I didn’t say I was having trouble launching the game I was saying I prefer it over apex

  • THEHEROFALL5 Brendan (@THEHEROFALL5) reported

    @SarahMi98771336 @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny Try restarting your game or console should fix it

  • raspberry290 Raspberry (@raspberry290) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Nice! I still can’t get my OP 8 to work. Anyone else still having the same issue?

  • Navesink Navesink (@Navesink) reported from Aberdeen, Maryland

  • guard7303 OnyxGuard7303 (@guard7303) reported

    @CoalitionGears Lol figures there hasn't been one operation non broken what a joke

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @tank1838 @iForbideNz @GearsofWar There's an icon, but unrelated issues are probably making that visual bug happen.

  • BillsMoronmafia Jack (@BillsMoronmafia) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CMcog06 Lazy pathetic and totally on brand for @CoalitionGears is this a triple A studio backed by Microsoft that sells microtransactions and can't fix bugs

  • ARXGAMING_ Joshjjk (@ARXGAMING_) reported

    @princexile @CoalitionGears “High ping lobby’s” yeah I play Rainbow six Siege Professionally and High ping does tend to cause the problems you said. And your saying this is the game’s problem’s no. It’s your internet’s or region. I’ve played ranked many many Times and I get around 15 ping. On every game tbh

  • 6losses LeBum “6Losses Swept 2x” James (@6losses) reported

    @GearsofWar How about you ******* fix the Damage scale? How do I hit 98…99…100 hit on either 1-2 shotgun hits and they still alive to kill me?

  • DakotaLeddick Dledz (@DakotaLeddick) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Theirs also a weird freeze or jitter you get when playing you teleport and skips like not stop please fix this too it’s an issue for old gen new gen and even pc .

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @GearsofWar Frantically waiting for it. @TC_Shauny Can you guys please fix Escalation spawns? There’s no reason why 1 person spawns in the way back, this isn’t the old 5-man esca. It’s extremely unfair to the back spawn person. In the last 18 of my 20 games, I was in the back!!! WHY ME???

  • JamesStevenson James Stevenson (@JamesStevenson) reported

    @AlanJohnson @PezRadar The only possibility is if they do tightly control the amount of issues magic keys.

  • noewanspecial ShottyDiaper (@noewanspecial) reported

    @aarondamron1988 @iGnashtys @GearsofWar (Think I responded to the wrong tweet about an update issue)

  • Aldair35270965 DECKARD (@Aldair35270965) reported

    @CoalitionGears I don't know if they can fix the problem. There are some total play players who have lost packages and in the other games we don't have the problem.
