Epic Games Lead Gameplay Programmer Joe Graf (@EpicCog) has declared that this Gears Weekend event will be named, “Boomer Blast”. There will be waves of Boomers, Boomers and more Boomers. So good luck staying alive! Be sure to use the #GearsWeekend hashtags to let us know if you survived. If you did survive, share your tips and tricks on how you did! Joe also mentioned via Twitter that he will extend the event since he was late setting it up.
