Gears 5 Ice Weapon Skins Guide: How to Unlock Ice Skins

First of all, if you’re wanting to get the Gears 5 Ice weapon skins then you should know one thing: these skin loadouts are mainly available from purchasing Seagate Game Drives. Which ones? Well, specifically the Gears 5 Special Editions of the 2TB and 5TB products. It appears that purchasing these online will still give you a code to redeem so that you can get the skins without needing to rock into a store to get these. The weapon skins that you’ll get from those Game Drives are:

  • Ice Block Lancer Weapon Skin
  • Ice Block Gnasher Weapon Skin for the Shotgun
  • Ice Block Weapon Skin for the Snub Pistol

If you were someone who splashed out on the Gears 5 Xbox One X version of the console, then you’re in luck. You’ll not only be able to get yourself the Ice weapon skins from above, but you’ll also get access to Ice skins for the characters Kait and Jack. There’s no other way to get those character skins, but luckily if you’re only after something to make your weapons look frosty then netting yourself a Seagate Game Drive of the appropriate size will be sufficient. 

Now that you have our Gears 5 Ice weapon skins guide, you can confidently embark on kitting yourself out with the freshest in-game loot, so long as you’re willing to shell out on the endorsement products to get it. Any other cross-promotions catch your fancy, like unlocking Batista in Gears 5? We can definitely help with that too.
