Epic Games is going a little weapon skin crazy with Gears of War 3 with multiple unlockable weapons skins. Epic's Rod Fergusson previously revealed the details on how to get the golden weapons in the game and he is back with more information on how to get even more.
Fergusson said that Epic wanted to have at least one set of unlockable weapons skins for Gears of War 3 that would be relatively easy to get compared to some of the others. With that in mind, they came up with Chrome skin set and here is how you can earn those.
- Chrome Lancer - Unlocked by earning the Don't Hate the Player Gears 1 Achievement. Finish with the highest points in a ranked match.
- Chrome Hammerburst - Unlocked by earning the Dirty Dirty Horde Gears 2 Achievement. Survive the first 10 waves of Horde (any difficulty, any map).
- Chrome Retro Lancer - Unlocked by earning the Domination Gears 1 Achievement. Complete 10 different co-op chapters as Dominic Santiago on any difficulty.
- Chrome Gnasher - Unlocked by completing the Gears 1, 2 and 3 campaigns. Could be done on Casual difficulty.
- Chrome Sawed-off - Unlocked by earning any achievement in Gears of War for the PC.
For the baddest of badasses, Epic is also including an Onyx weapon skin. Onyx is the highest medal unlock in the game. Getting 6,000 kills with any of the five starter weapons unlocks not only the Onyx medal for that weapon but also an Onyx skin for the weapon. Reaching level 100 in Gears of War 3 will unlock the Gold Omen skin which is a mix of gold coloring with crimson highlights. Epic Games also has something planned for the Liquid Green skin that Microsoft testers had in beta. It will reappear as special marketing promotion for Gears of War 3 but Epic hasn't decided on what it is they are doing for the promotion yet. The weapon skin will be available for something though with an announcement coming soon. http://www.examiner.com/console-gaming-in-national/epic-details-chrome-onyx-and-gold-omen-weapon-skins-for-gears-of-war-3
