Game Spot delivered that Gears of War 4 released new footage showing the potential Dropshot features, which descriptions was quoted, "The Dropshot fires an aerial mine that floats over the battlefield in a straight line as long as you hold the trigger. The moment you let go, the mine spins downward violently. If it hits the ground, it drills for a second before exploding, blowing anything nearby into chunks. If you manage to nail a direct hit on the enemy, it drills directly into their head, decapitating them while their body convulses until the mine explodes."
Gears of War 4 will have its beta set in a few days, specifically, April 18th for the people who managed to play Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, whereas Xbox Live Gold members will be able to get in on it by April 25th. Originally, the title is set to release on October 11th for the Xbox One, and a PC version is rumored to come forth.
