"Gears of War 4" joins the holiday celebration as it launches "Gearsmas," complete with snowball fights and special holiday-themed skins and armors. This adds a little holiday cheer to the violent-filled game.
The centerpiece of Gearsmas Pack is a special multiplayer event aptly called "Snowball Fight." Players of "Gears of War 4" get to fling snowballs at their enemies using a custom Snowshot weapon, according to Engadget. Like in a real-life snowball fight, players can't reload. They have to pick up snow ammo.
