The Gears of War 3 Fenix Rising DLC, the third major add-on for the hit Xbox 360 shooter, is now available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
The add-on offers five new multiplayer maps inspired by the life and experiences of Marcus Fenix, and also introduces four character skins and a new experience system that allows players to rank up through level 100 four times to unlock exclusive emblems and weapon skins.
Players who attain level 100 will have a choice to “Re-up” to showcase their dedication as elite Gears of War fans. Choosing this option will reset experience and rank, but all other progression (including TrueSkill rating) will remain intact. Players can “Re-up” up to three times, earning new wings colours each time: Red, Green, and Gold. The rank number will also be coloured Red, Green, or Blue. Each “Re-up” level also awards the player an exclusive, custom weapon skin that cannot be obtained by any other means.
New maps: Academy, Anvil, Depths, Escalation, and the Slab.
New character skins: Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole – Limited Edition, Savage Marauder and Savage Kantus – Limited Edition.
Fenix Rising is priced 800 MS Points or is included as part of the Gears of War 3 Season Pass for 2400 MS Points. Season Pass buyers will also gain free access to a fourth DLC release.
