Free Gold Hammerburst



Gears of War 2 getting free day-one DLC 'Flashback' maps, Golden Hammerburst

Gears of War 2 future owners: not only will you get a free flashback downloadable map pack when you purchase the game new, you will also receive something extra.

Now if you attend a “Midnight Madness” launch event that is taking place all around the country on the night of November 6th, you will be able to unlock a gold-plated Hammerburst. The golden sweetness does not have any special impacts on damage or effectiveness, but it looks real cool.

In a time of costly DLC, Epic seems to be giving us a fair share of free DLC just for buying their game new and not used.

    I'll definitely be attending one. The gamestop by my house is pretty small so don't have to ever wait in line.

    Gold? That looks more like a mucus gun or something from the army man series.

    I went to Futureshop (Vancouver, BC, Canada) at midnight and apparently they only had 10 codes for the Gold Hammerburst to give away. :(

    Only 10 I guess they didn't hear how popular GoW 2 was going to be.
