Horde 2.0 in Gears of War 3 is easily my favorite mode. Something about killing waves of locusts in a Tower Defense style way is just really fun to me. It’s challenging to say the least, and it never seems to get old.
If you enjoy Horde 2.0 as much as I do, then you’ll appreciate this list of levels and costs for the defensive upgrades.
The Silverback is nasty by the way.. absolutely nasty. I suggest throwing a lot of money into your barriers to unlock it as soon as possible. You’ll thank me later!
