Fenix ( Liam McIntyre), the son of Marcus Fenix and Anya Stroud, who, alongside his friends Delmont 'Del' Walker ( Eugene Byrd) and Kait Diaz ( Laura Bailey), deal with a new threat to humanity's survival. However, some human survivors rejected the viewpoints of the COG and formed a group called the 'Outsiders' that live outside of the COG jurisdiction, conducting raids on COG territory to gather resources. To protect the surviving human population from decline, estimated to be hundreds of thousands, the reformed Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) established walled-off cities to protect its citizens from the dangers outside, while declaring martial law to prevent any travel outside the cities. Although the use of the Imulsion Countermeasure weapon destroyed all Imulsion on the planet Sera, killing the Locust and the Lambent in the process, the weapon forced humanity to adapt to new ways of survival after knocking out the use of fossil fuels, and bringing across the planet powerful windstorms called 'Windflares'. Gears of War 4 takes place 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3. Like previous entries in the series, the story campaign can be played through co-operatively with a second player in a local or online co-operative mode. The game features 4 categories of weather: from heavy breeze (trees, leaves, dust kicking up) and can grow into violent category 3 windstorms that can affect combat and weapon usage. Players can also perform a short distance shoulder charge, knocking enemies off balance and enemies can also pull players out of cover and perform their own takedowns. Many gameplay elements from the previous games are reintroduced, along with new elements such as the Dropshot weapon that fires explosive drills and the Buzzkill that fires ricocheting sawblades at enemies.
