This thread will be updated from time to time when I find out more info.

[Jim Tuna]

Clayton Carmine: Boom Shield
Sam Byrne: Incendiary Grenades
Damon Baird: Torque Bow
Colonel Hoffman: Hammer of Dawn (at least when someone is a Berserker)

[Jim Tuna]

Also notice that there is room for 5 Locusts on each Tier. The next DLC is more than likely Beast related, so...

Yep, but I won't be adding additional spots until I know for sure that there will be more locust coming. Although it does seem like there will be more beast players coming.

[Tony Dawg]

Marcus: Lancer
Dom: Lancer & Sawed off? (Not sure, will have to double check that one)
Dizzy: Gnasher & Frag grenades
Jace: Lancer & Sawed off
Prescott: Gorgon Pistol
Hoffman: When he doesn't have the Hammer, he has either the boltok or the multcher iirc.
Griffin: Sawed off & Boltok.

I'm positive on all of them except Dom.

During the GCON event, I asked the developer I was with if they were going to add more characters to beast, and he said they are not. He said the next DLC is going to include more maps, but he cannot reveal more information than that.

[Tony Dawg]

Thanks for the info.

No problem Also, Sam uses the Retro and Flame grenades and Baird uses Torque and Frags. Not trying to be smart or anything, just pointing it out ^^;

If this is good, then wait till you see when it's finished, lol.

[SneaKerhead2009]

I have some info. COG Gears can use Lancers and Gnashers, Dizzy can use frags, and I don't think DOm has a Sawed off.

How does one go about unlocking tiers? I have played plenty of times but I can't tell if it is purely money based or what?

[Combicritter]

How does one go about unlocking tiers? I have played plenty of times but I can't tell if it is purely money based or what?

When you play with a Kantus you only earn money and you still unlock the tiers. So i guess it's just based on money.

[xKiLL ZoNEx]

How does one go about unlocking tiers? I have played plenty of times but I can't tell if it is purely money based or what?

It's based on money from what I can tell. You earn money from healing and killing your enemies. Along with earning cash from spotting and team kills. Also I believe you earn money from completing waves.

[Darth Muerte]

I'd like an expansion for Beast that offered more variety on the monsters we could choose from. Like differn't Locusts and Locust riders for the Bloodmount or any of the other beasts we can't play as.

[oldson59]

A splendid thread Kill Zone old son, nice to see Beast getting some attention.
Hopefully the next DLC will be for beast mode, beast needs some lurvvvvvvv.

[S0UL CRUSHER 13]

Dom uses the gnasher. 99% sure
Cole uses frags.

[Cruckeyee]

There's another Stranded that appear in later waves that uses a Gorgon.

[the_suicide_fox]

Dom is wrong, he carries Lancer and Gnasher. Sam carries Lancer and Incids. Marcus also carries frags.

Ya, I decided to make this thread seeing maybe it will be needed for the upcoming map pack which I think it'll be beast mode and thanks.

[the_suicide_fox]

C.Carmine also carries a Lancer if he drops the Boomshield. Prescott has HoD and I think HB on indoor maps. I have never seen Cole use frags, only Boomshot.

Silverbacks first appear at wave 5, and Dizzy is the only hero for wave 2, while wave 3 has Dizzy and Jace. Wave 12 has all the top fortifications and 2 Silverbacks.

I'll take some notes when I play later. Besides Wz/Ex, Beast is probably the most underrated mode in Gears. So much fun.

You should list each beast's abilities too. S. Corpser has armor in the front and can heal itself when buried. IMO it's the best since it can both kill and destroy very fast.

I've gotten killed by Cole frags (unless he was tagged) and Jace can appear in Wave 2. It's not all top fortifications on wave 12, that may depend on the map, since some maps still have static sentries instead of incendiary ones. Also, the number of Silverbacks depends on the map / human spawn location. Trenches can spawn 2 Silverbacks as early as (I think) wave 7 or 8 if the humans spawn mostly in the center in front of the crane. Don't remember off the top of my head which other maps can have more than one Silverback.

[Shado]

hope they release new stuff for beast soon

[RAAAM]

I would like for them to include General RAAM in Beast with full Krill armor, mini trokia on his forearm. Would like to have his finishers too.

[Karma Cop]

Great post and info. Beast mode of the four is the most cathartic I find. If I only have a few minutes after work and want to really enjoy myself (instead of hunkering down and bringing the A game) beast mode is the perfect elixer.

There's so much they can do with Beast mode, I'm waiting with unabated breath for the fourth DLC! Show the Beasters some love.

[DieGroundwalker]

I've gotten killed by Cole frags (unless he was tagged) and Jace can appear in Wave 2.

Exactly. I've gotten killed by Cole's planted frags a lot (although I've never seen him throw one) and Jace does indeed appear on Wave 2 at times.

[S0UL CRUSHER 13]

Sam picked me up as a meatshield today. She had a boltok in her hand.

[xKiLL ZoNEx]

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll have to update the thread soon.
