Gears of War E Day: Which Locust Will Appear? 

My guy is out here keeping Gears of War interest alive for YEARS and now he's finally getting to flex his knowledge!!!

Humans are no stranger to war. After all, we've been fighting for as long as we can remember. War is all we know. In the past, we fought for imulsion. We fought for country. We fought for freedom. But all that changed after E-Day. For 15 years, we've been fighting for our very survival against inhuman, genocidal monsters, but it is a fight we cannot continue. Humanity faces extinction, unless we end this war, now. We had hoped the mass bombings would decimate the Locust Horde, but they survived, and have returned stronger than ever. They brought with them a force that can sink entire cities. Even Jacinto, our last beacon of hope through all these dark days, is now at risk. Soon, we'll have nothing left to defend, and that means we have only one option. Attack. Gears, what I ask of you now is not an easy thing. But, it is necessary. If we are to survive, if we are to live long enough to see the seasons pass, our children grow, and experience a time of peace that we have never known, we must now take this fight to the Locust. We will go to where they live and where they breed, and we will destroy them. This is the day we take the battle to the heart of the enemy. This is the day that we correct the course of human history! This is the day we ensure our survival as a species! Soldiers of the C.O.G., my fellow Gears, go forth, and bring back the hope of humanity!

The Locust council meeting should be an interesting one if included in E-Day where we get to see things from the Horde’s perspectives.

FOR THE HORDE!!!

Someone needs to email this video to the Coalition ASAP!

I mean, it was established in gears tactics that Ukkon was the one who created creatures like the Brumaks, and that takes place 12 years before the first Gears of War. If they created a new big monster enemy type they can easily say that its a creation of Ukkon that died out after his death.

I hope the Troika Gunner Locust will make a comeback in this Prequel because he deserves better.

Brooo a Lambent War Campaign would be Epic

This man literally resurrected my love for Gears of War last year, and I’ve watched nearly every video since. Now that we’ve finally got a new game coming out bringing back the feel of the classics I am absolutely stoked. Great videos man, and thanks for keeping Gears alive until now and going forward

I want a RAAM and Skorge DLC with them seizing control of the horde over Uzil Skraag.

THANK YOU Abz. I was hoping someone would make a video on this, and also a video about weapons would also be great to.

If a Berserker isn’t in E-Day, I will be hella upset. She’s not only a tough bitch. But adding blindness to her but with abilities to hear and smell you would give an extra horror vibes as done in the first Gears of War game.

Sad that we won't be able to have the berserker

What if they put RAAM as a extra story after you beat the main game or make a dlc where you play as RAAM with a short chapter story?

14:42: I say hell yes to that! I too want to see a locust council meeting in a cut scene and then I want to see a DLC for Gears E-day where you get to play as RAAM and the bloodied Vangaurd. When the locusts interact with each other I want to see them speak their native language and then we, the players, can read the subtitles to understand what they are saying. EDIT: this might be a bad idea since it would take away from the horror and mystery aspect of not knowing where these creatures appeared from and what is their purpose. I'd say, just keep the whole locust council for a possible dlc so that way e-day's atmosphere remains dark and mysterious.

Gears need to hire Abz and give him the opportunity he deserves!

I’m so excited for this new game. I’ve been going back and watching all your videos.

What if E-day actually follows mutiple squads? So in one act you follow Marcus and Dom, and then in anouther you follow a differnet squad, before jumping back to Marcus and Dom. That might be a way for them to include stuff like the Theron and Kantus, without breaking the established lore since those other squads could fight those enemies. It could also be a neat way to show the scale of destruction during E day.

I love that in the Tralier for E Day, we see Marcus getting threw across the room by a normal drone, which showcases how Horrifying the Horde Truly is giving me Halo Reach Vibes which humanity is fighting a losing battle against an unstoppable force. (If Context the Surivors of Emergency Day called the ones that died the lucky ones)

Abz posted, it’s a great day today

Dude your the main man when comes to gears of war trivia and lore even after the gears game life cycle

It's always a good freaking day when king abz is back talking about gears. Side note if we get the unamoured mauler I'll cry

10:37 yes love the idea of these guys showing up also the boomer with the metal whip could be used to control wretches and other warbeasts that may be spooked by the surface being different to the hollow

Recently discovered your channel after the Gears E-Day reveal. Great content and glad to see you still around now covering potential E-Day content. Also it would be cool if you made a video in the same style of this but for weapons and equipment!

When I saw the e-day trailer all I thought was “damn king abz gon flex his knowledge”

Seeing more early variants of Cog weapons would also be cool especially stuff carried over from the pendulum wars that was phased out later due to difficulty of production or other factors

Bloodmounts would be a welcome addition again, I kind of miss seeing the imposing double threat flusher enemy type that appeared in only Gears 2 and never again

Your vids are amazing homie

He's back at it again here we go gears ⚙️⚙️

I hope some form of the Breechshot returns, and we see Karn invade the UIR! Maybe a scene with Paduk getting blasted with the Hammer of Dawn, oh man they have so much potential with this game I hope they do this right

Jermad would make interesting antagonist, if they go the “American Sniper” approach. A sniper taking out the major COG officials & politicians. Leaving a few leaders to lead the COG as seen in the original trilogy and books instead of them all being killed by Locust Horde in single day during E-Day. I mean, it was massive army and government. It would make interesting dynamic between Jermad & RAAM, as they coordinate an attack on COG leadership. While also Marcus & Dom would be onto them, as this is the first time, RAAM is introduced. Because I wondered where they even heard the name of Locust Horde General in the first time.

Can't wait

100% agree with everything you said

Jermad and a hit squad being reoccuring could be fun, kinda like Halo Reach and the Zealots

BABE WAKE UP, ABZ POSTED

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised for an entire rework of the story considering that Marcus was active even before E-DAY but, acts like he hasn’t seen anything outside of drones and wreches for a war that was going on for almost 15 years at the time of GOW1

This ,hint be a long shot, but characters I would love to see make a cameo in E Day are Uzil Sraak, RAAM, and Skorge. I would the game bonus points if the game highlights the feud between Uzil Sraak and RAAM.

That Mauler looks absolutely sick!

Abz you have a really great idea for gears of war E-day! I hope the gears devs see this and add these!

So far, most of what you said does make sense and agree with, maybe we'll see more unknown hollow creatures like... the locust dragon in the cut content for gears of war 1 that one could make a return for a final boss

Something cool that could happen to get the cutsceenes you want those could be the opening cutscene and intro mission as a way to show how powerful the locus are then make you feel less by switching sides

I have a feeling we will play as RAMM on E day killing many of people like what Spiderman 2 did with venom

I'm glade that those centipedes aren't coming back or the armored priests maybe in a multi-player dlc bundle, or a Locust campaign dlc (where you play as the Locust during E-Day).

Building on your locust council meeting idea, id love to have more moments where we see through the eyes of a locust in the game. I know playing as them in the story mode is probably off the table, but just getting cutscenes or glimpes through their view would be so badass.

Hope we get like a boomer leader.

GEARS EDAY WILL BE THE BEST GEARS EVER!! ❤🙏🏻

Brother doing cogs work This channel is gonna blow up!

I was a bit worried the enemy types would be limited, but this video got rid of those worries. Dope breakdown of the the locust types.

Love you’re Videos man . Can you do what COG will return in E-Day

The planet of sera is big. Who knows the different type of locust that were deployed through out the years. Marcus and dom just didn't encounter certain variants.

Still one of my fav lines " when was the last time you heard wind whisper "HoStILeS" to you"

Back again with another great one! Thanks mate

I love all of your ideas!!! I hope to see all of these enemies in the campaign!!!

If we also play as other charcters we still could get some locust variants and stick to the lore, like Baird with the berserker or theron guards.. he already knew them in gears 1

We gotta enjoy and make the most of these moments, especially when the game comes out. Always live in the moment and enjoy the game to the fullest.

Yes i was so curious about the krill, and im so excited to see this game and i hope that it come out how all we gears fans hope. Apperciate your vids king!

I’ve played gears 2 who knows how many times but I’ve never once caught the “that’s not a natural formation” line from dom. That’s a golden reference

Fingers crossed that the berserker segment from gears of war 1 returns. Obviously it can’t feature Marcus or Dom but maybe as part of a prologue with just regular gears as they have no idea on how to stop it, would be great for the horror element.

I still can’t believe there is a game that set during eday and not just reference it or a game set a month or a few months after eday. I can’t wait to play this game. I always wanted a game to be set during eday in game not just a book or a tv show but in a game. It’s going to be interesting to see what they do in the game when it comes out. Gears of war eday and call of duty black ops 6 is some of the games that I really want to play at the moment. Hopefully gears of war eday will hold us over until gears of war 6 comes out whenever gears of war 6 comes out that is. The gears of wars eday trailer gave me halo reach vibes.

Abz needs some back pain medicine after carrying gears content for this long

Definitely see the Locust spotters and Locust Miners making a comeback

Finally someone made this video

Cant wait. I was getting my bachelors and masters in engineering when these titles dropped. Nostalgia booming.

I think Skorge and Ukkon should be shown or mentioned in E-Day since both are second in command of the Locust Horde while RAAM remains their top dog But how can we have a new Locust leader that could be a threat to Marcus and Dom on this horrific event that is happening throughout the planet Sera? While we have yet to see a Gears of War game that sets in the Pendulum Wars, I’ve been wanting to see Emergency day ever since 2006. And I’m very excited for Gears of War: E-Day.

Man this makes me more excited for gears of war e-day 🔥🔥

We need to see something about the introduction to the locust getting into the war with imulsion near the end as a "prologue" for dlc

if you haven’t all ready a variation of all the locust would be a nice video to watch

I think it would be amazing if they showed the enormous scale of the COG and locust with truly massive battles during the early days of the war. Then you mix is with intense horror segments.

Need a version with the cog now

you gotta remember it’s eday so all these locust are non known so marcus and dom could’ve easily encountered a berserker and just not known what it was and then later on they give it the name berserker and that’s when baird says what it is

Beautiful

I would not be upset if they retconned the Therons to get them in

Damn bro your really on it I bet your excited to see a new GEARS I am

Im not sure about the berserker scene though I feel like There's still enough wiggle room for the berserker to make sence. Also since marcus and dom haven't met cole or baird till way later then a possibility is that they may do a shared story. Two sides experiencing different threats like baird and cole encounter the Theron instead of Marcus and Dom.

I'll add to your "Drones With Wrertches On A Lead" Concept, make them a subclass of Hunter, and give them a Longshot.

Yar I’m gonna love playing this

Gears of war e day characters that I want to see keav jermad ketor vrol in the game

I’d find it really cool if we got a different point of view (another squad) for one act where you play as a basic cog gear squad in a different city, and throughout this act you can actually face enemies such as the therons or hell even get to see locust like RAAM.

I don’t think you mentioned the Tickers, they could definitely be in the game. Actually it’s possible to have Kantus and Theron guards in the game so long as Marcus or Dom never encounter them. Maybe in a separate cutscene or spin-off story like Raam’s Shadow. Moving away from the locust i wonder how much of Adam Fenix we’ll get to have in GOW E-day. I’d love to see his reaction before & after E-day since he was the only one who knew it was coming. Please do a video on Weapons or Vehicles next.

Taking into account that The Coalition will probably want to take advantage of a couple of hours after the start of E-Day until the early hours of the second day (which is approximately 60 hours due to the 28hr schedule in Sera) we will see the full power and total brutality of the Locust Horde, Grenadiers, Ravagers, Therons, Sword Therons, Ragers, Maulers, Kantus and i hope Zealots and other Tactic's Locusts, we will hear on civilian and COG radios about Karn's devastating attack on Gorasnaya and the COG's attempts to provide aid while responding to an attack on the same scale in the countries encompassing Tyrus, we will hear about the beasts from Ukkon taking entire cities and other creatures annihilating lifeboats, helicopters and civilian populations in congestion and above all to Raam at the head of the Horde after taking a COG Military Base. So, knowing that Skorge served as High Priest of the Order of the Kantus thanks to RAAM and Myrrah, he probably attacked for a few hours healing Locust until he retreated and started managing his Order (which is why not even the COG Veterans knew of his existence until Gears of War 2) and that leaves us with another pair of important Locust: Vurl Jermad and Ketor Vrol. On the one hand, Vrol looked like something old and delicate, but the model of him in Gears 5 shows him as an imposing Kantus, regardless of this we saw that the Locust do not necessarily have to be strong to impose, as this happens with Karn. Vrol could have commanded an attack with his chants on some important base, calling hundreds of creatures from the Hollow to destroy cities without mercy and making it a key point for Skorge to learn to sing on that scale and thus harness his power to awaken and control the Riftworm, performing the Locust Horde's greatest feat since E-Day, and this may be where Ketor dies. On the other side we have Vurl Jermad, the sniper and Lieutenant of RAAM, this Locust has the appearance of a Theron and we know that these enemies are to be feared. I honestly think it would be a waste to kill Vurl so quickly, in my opinion he could play an important role being sent by RAAM to test himself, becoming an important head for the COG to cut and for the game to time-skip about 5 years and more campaign levels to see Jermad again, now bigger and wearing Black Theron Armor and a unique helmet, making him the Final Boss and then being able to kill him without problem, since in RAAM's Shadow this character doesn't appear and instead we have a Elite Theron who opts for close combat with a Sawed-Off Shotgun with blades, the complete opposite of Jermad's sniper nature. If we want something personal, I would opt for a massive Boss Boomer, I would call him "Glutton" the Boomer, since Eat was the word that this Locust repeated the most because he consumed its enemies, in the past renegade locust and lost humans, now this Lieutenant with an outstanding intellect in contrast to the average Boomers is dedicated to brutally attacking the COG by himself armed with an War Club and a pair of chained pets that look like pale tarantulas with tentacles.

I hope Krav Jermad is on E-Day. He would be an interesting villain to encounter. And I would love to see my hands on that Breechshot again man!

This video makes me realize Gears has some of the best enemy variants in all of gaming. It definitely beats a lot of other games in terms of variety.

I would love it if they also drop a dlc campaign where we can play as the locust and experience E-Day from their perspective 🤩

As much as I love learning what locust could appear in E-Day but there only three things got have a attention. 1: Were going to play as Marcus again, besides Master Chief and Commander Shepard the best solider in gameing history. 2: Dom is alive the best character in gears. 3: We'll get to see young Cole and Baird, and all the characters that died like maybe we will see or heard about Tai, Kim or A Carmine.

It would be great to have those wretches in the concept art to act like grunts for the drones, boomers an grenadiers.

I wanna play as the locust as they go through e day. Kind of like mw2 back in the day in the airport

man i know it's a long shot but i really want to see the lambent. especially the lambent berserke.

if i'm correct i am pretty sure Dom's kids died on E day so i am interested how that will be handled also sadly no cole train unless it takes place over multiple days or even weeks

Would love to see a locust dlc later after the game launches

Will you do a video recap on the Novel Ephyra Rising? About the book and the post war Sera? If I asked.

I wonder if we will see any of ukkon's troops

I hope the Kryll do appear cause it could be really scary with Marcus and Dom not knowing about their weakness to light

The coalition needs to hire you to their creative team ❤

Although, we may not see Raam or Skorge as much in E-day (or perhaps not at all), I sure hope that we get a DLC campaign where we get to play as the two throughout the Locust vs Lambent War

It would be cool to see gears e day do a halo 2 arbiter kinda thing where we get to see eday and the lambent war from the locust POV it would also allow us to see characters like raam and skorge that delta squad hasnt seen at this point in the timeline

I don’t think the krill can come back since Marcus doesn’t seem to know about them during the first game since he doesn’t understand why it bing dark out is bad until he sees it

Berserker in E-day would have been an awesome Mr.X unkillable chaser

General Raam definitely has to be back, as he was the primary leader on the assault to the surface. I hope we get to see more of his side of the story and why that cutscene when Kim dies in the first game, Marcus has this wide-eyed stare and it's in slow motion and Dom has to go grab him like there was some history between them. Marcus clearly knew who Raam was.

Here's an idea an extra mission after the campaign where you can play as raam and skorge sorta like that one lord of the rings game where after you finish the game you get the evil story and can play as sauron that would be sick

I wish it was coming out this year 😭
