I walk for miles inside this pit of danger
I’ve swallowed down a thousand years of anger
The weight of the world is falling on my shoulders
A place where no one follows me, I walk alone
Get the Batista Bomb execution free in #Gears5 now until Apr 20!https://t.co/T048eWbhZF— Gears of War (@GearsofWar) April 2, 2020
Gears 5 already has a variety of execution animations in the multiplayer mode, but nothing comes close to the savageness of the Batista Bomb. While in real life Batista used this move to knock down his opponents, the game takes it to a whole other level with the enemies exploding on impact.
The Batista Bomb execution is free to download until April 20 on PC and Xbox One. Combined with the free “Batista” character skin for Marcus Felix, you can get the ultimate Gears 5 Dave Batista experience.
Modern Warfare Is Giving Out 10 Free Battle Pass Tiers, Here’s How To Unlock Them
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare‘s Season 2 is ending very soon. To help players rise through the Battle Pass ranks, Activision is giving away 10 free tiers, but there is a catch.
You must already own the Battle Pass to redeem the 10 free tiers. The Battle Pass is shared across Modern Warfare and Warzone, and the 10 free tiers applies to both.
Everyone who buys the Battle Pass before April 5 at 11 PM PT will find the 10 free tiers available to redeem from the “Just For You” section of the menu. Those who are above tier 90 will still get the 10 tiers, with whatever remaining number of tiers carrying forward to Season 3’s Battle Pass. For example, you’re at tier 94, you’ll get 6 tiers to bring to you 100 in the Season Pass pass, and then 4 more to start you off when the next pass arrives.
