Characters
The new Gears
JD Fenix
JD Fenix is a former lieutenant in the cog who went AWOL with his comrade and best friend, del, after being caught up in a classified military “incident.” The son of Marcus Fenix, JD is an idealist who wants to live his life with purpose. He and del have found sanctuary among outsiders whom they saved from cog reprisals, and, like them, now reject the oppressive government they once served.
The Swarm
-
Juvies
The juvie is a fast-moving, agile enemy that emerges from swarm pods. Almost always, juvies attack in groups, and in singularly unrelenting fashion. You’ll learn to fear their guttural call -- a telltale sign that reinforcements are incoming.
-
Drones
Intelligent, cruel, and unfeeling, the drone is the swarm army's highly capable foot soldier. Stronger and bigger than humans, but capable of using the same weapons, drones can turn the tide of any battle they become part of.
-
Pouncer
The Pouncer is deadly at every range. Back away, and its fan-like tail launches deadly quills. Close the distance, and it pounces pinning its unsuspecting prey to the ground. This devastating new enemy is the vicious attack dog of the swarm.
