GEARS OF WAR 5: DLC: HIVEBUSTERS | FULL GAMEPLAY | NO COMMENTARY

Gears 5: Hivebusters is a DLC expansion that focuses on a new squad known as Scorpio Squad, featuring three characters: Lahni Kaliso, Keegan, and Mac. This DLC is set on a mission separate from the main campaign, but still within the Gears of War universe.

Summary Plot:
The story begins with Scorpio Squad being sent on a covert operation by Colonel Hoffman. Their mission is to use the Venom Bombs to destroy Swarm hives from the inside. These hives are crucial to the Swarm's operations, and eliminating them would severely weaken their forces.

Throughout the story, we learn more about the personal backgrounds of each squad member:

Lahni Kaliso is a former COG soldier with a deep connection to the military.
Keegan is a retired Onyx Guard and former COG supply officer.
Mac is a sarcastic outsider who lost his family to the Swarm and harbors a deep grudge against them.
As the team ventures into different Swarm hives, they face numerous challenges, including fierce battles with Swarm enemies, environmental dangers, and internal conflicts within the team. The squad must work together, despite their differences, to survive and complete the mission.

The squad's ultimate goal is to deploy a modified bomb capable of releasing deadly venom gas, which would destroy the Swarm from within. Along the way, the squad also encounters new wildlife and locations within the Gears universe, such as volcanic islands, lush jungles, and ancient ruins.

In the final mission, they reach the Swarm Queen's lair. After a climactic battle, Scorpio Squad manages to detonate the venom bomb, destroying the Swarm hive. The success of this mission hints that these venom bombs could be used more widely against the Swarm, giving humanity a new weapon in their ongoing war.

Gears 5: Hivebusters offers a self-contained story that delves deeper into the Gears universe, while also giving players intense combat and exploration in fresh environments.
