You don’t bring a pistol to a Lancer fight. You don’t show up toGears Reloadedwithout your full merch loadout either. August is closing in fast, and whenGears of War Reloadeddrops, you want to be as locked in as you have ever been. That means more than just preloading the game. It means suiting up, drinking out of your Crimson Omen glass, and maybe even standing proudly beside your life-sized Marcus Fenix cutout like the responsiblegameryou are.
The Gears Armory went full COG this time. Lancer hoodies, Torque Bow tees, laser-etched Crimson Omen glasses, six-foot Marcus Fenix standees, it’s all here, and it’s not subtle. This is the kind of merch drop where you either load up now or watch it vanish before launch day. Let’s run through everything you need before the grubs break through in August.
Apparel That’s Designed To Keep It Cool
The clothing line hits that sweet spot between recognizable fan gear and stuff you could otherwise wear in your day-to-day life. The Crimson Omen Tee runs $30 and features Luke Preece’s design with the eight-spoked COG symbol - each spoke representing a COG virtue. It even comes with a pigment-dyed treatment that gives it that worn-in vintage feel.
The Lancer Hoodie, at $40, comes in a heavyweight cotton/poly blend with a front pouch and three-panel hood. The charcoal heather version uses a 60/40 blend. They’ve even got a “Never Fight Alone” tee, also for $30, that’s designed by Luke Preece as a benefit shirt - 100% of net revenue goes to mental health charities. It includes a QR code to the Crisis Text Line, which reimagines the franchise’s messaging in a meaningful way.
Other options include the Lancer T-Shirt at $26.99 with Crimson Omen graphics and stylized Lancer MK II on the back, plus various squad and weapon-themedtees ranging from $26-30.
