    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar How about the issue about the re up update glitch?? Is there a way I can get that fixed a little faster?? Now missing out on the tour of duty rewards because of it. Any update would be great

  • ColinCrowClarke Colin Clarke (@ColinCrowClarke) reported

    @OldGuard9036 @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo The braid is very badass, and ingrained in the outsider culture, this is more of a fan service look so I doubt it’ll happen, would be cool to have it in a cutscene where she’s redoing the braid and speaking to Marcus to use this look or something

  • MattyJW_29 Matt (@MattyJW_29) reported

    @GearsofWar Boost isn't working! Only getting normal stars. Also sometimes an error code appears after a match

  • mcintos marbles (@mcintos) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Please fix reup 24 issue. It’s been broken since Feb 9 @TC_Kilo

  • Hector45647250 Hector (@Hector45647250) reported

    @CoalitionGears I bought the set of weapons crome steel, the reyna myrrah, and the operation package 6, and they have not given me anything, one tries to give them support as a study and to support, but it is really frustrating that even to support them there are so many errors, it is incredible

  • Jesus_Americana Jesus Americana (@Jesus_Americana) reported

    @XboxSupport @CoalitionGears @xbox BOO on you both, wanted to surprise my son with Iron in GT. Used fam app to load funds, took$, No Iron. 24 hours and 3.5 customer service calls later, no content and a kids super hurt feelings. So much Covid cash and you can't do this right?

  • felorodri Julián Rodríguez (@felorodri) reported

    @Goldengazza @TheWickerMan972 @CoalitionGears Even tho some of the issues come from Gears of War 4, they are not fixed yet, like the one that occurs when you are in party and the match room gets dissolved and it gets you to the main menu, not letting you vote or choose character. Would it ever be fixed? I doubt it.

  • DasPinha SirPinha (@DasPinha) reported

    @DatboiNoJoke @GearsofWar having this problem as well... where is my bonus stars

  • Untipobienx No hay (@Untipobienx) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I love gears I just dislike the technical capabilities of black tusk studios (a.k.a. The coalition)...every single op we've had major issues

  • reveles_osiel Osiel Reveles López (@reveles_osiel) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo There is also a problem with the horde and escape cards, since in some they have an error where they cannot be improved.

  • eddie95171553 eddie (@eddie95171553) reported

  • Goldengazza Gaz (@Goldengazza) reported

    @CoalitionGears When are you guys going to fix the menus? And squad and matchmaking. And re ups. And being able to switch characters while in someone else's squad. And setting different weapon skins for cog and swarm?
