Gears of War 3 Horde Mode: Defensive Items Cost

Updated on November 3, 2011

Gears of War 3's horde mode 2.0 features the ability to purchase defensive items to increase chance of survival against the enemy locust horde (And Lambent). Horde mode has a total of 50 waves, like Gears of War 2, however, there are now boss battles every 10 waves. The bosses you face will be random.

In between rounds, you will have 30 seconds to prepare for the next wave by creating defenses around the map. Making defenses, repairing existing ones, and upgrading is key to survive the locust horde and enemy lambent.

Here is a list of Gears of War 3 defenses and how much they cost to upgrade etc.

NOTE: THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT EVOLUTIONS OF THE UPGRADES, TECHNICALLY THERE ARE MORE UPGRADES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE BARRIER HAS 8 UPGRADES, BUT ONLY 4 CHANGE THE WAY THEY LOOK.

Barriers

  • Level 1 Spike Strip Barrier - These are the weakest barriers, but still provide a decent defense during the lower levels. ($1000)
  • Level 2 Barbed Wire - More reinforced than the level one barrier and can take more damage. ($2500)
  • Level 3 Electrical Wire - Significantly stronger and is much better in the higher horde levels. ($4000)
  • Level 4 Laser Wire - This barrier can resist the most damage. These are very good to have on boss waves. ($5000)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Decoys

  • Level 1 Cardboard cutout of Cole Train advertising a brand of cereal. ($500)
  • Level 2 No longer Cole Train, but a damaged mannequin. ($1000)
  • Level 3 A stronger red mannequin. ($1500)
  • Level 4 A boom box with scrap metal. ($2000)
  • Level 5 An Onyx solider that will fight for you ($????) ***only can upgrade if you have horde command pack***

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sentry Turret

  • Level 1 ($1500)
  • Level 2 ($3000)
  • Level 3 Sentry turret is effective for killing those berserkers . ($????) ***Only with horde command pack***

Sentry turrets are great to use in horde mode because you do not need a player to use them. They will automatically shoot the locust horde.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Turrets

  • Level 1 Dual Turret using Retro Lancers. Not very effective for long range, but quite powerful. ($1500)
  • Level 2 Dual Turret using Lancers. More range than the level 1 turret and better accuracy. ($2500)
  • Level 3 Now a powerful Troika Turret. ($4000)
  • Level 4 An Upgraded Troika Turret ($5000)
