    Before you can customize a weapon, you will need to unlock at least one skin in addition to the default. While there are a number of skins available for purchase on the marketplace, you can also unlock a handful for free.

    Crimson Omen: Record at least one achievement in Gears 1, 2 and 3 on the SAME Gamertag. Only the Gamertag that has done this will be granted the skin.

    Dark Omen: Complete the entire campaign on the original Gears of War 1. Only the Gamertag that has done this will be granted the skin.

    Mars, Woodland Camo, Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Grease Gun, Racer: If you played in the beta at least one day you will receive these skins on ONLY the Gamertag that played in the BETA.

    Gold: Play Ultimate Edition at least one day during launch week (ending September 4, 2015). Skins will be granted up to ONE WEEK after September 4th. Skins will not be available before September 4th.

    If you just recently completed the requirements for one of the Omen skins, it may take up to 7 days to appear in your inventory.

    ** When and IF additional skins can be unlocked at no cost, I will add them to the solution **

    Customizing the skin:

    During an online or local versus match you will have the option to customize your weapon's skin on the load out screen just before the match starts. Simply highlight the weapon and use RT or LT to browse through your available skins. Select at skin the is not the game's default.

    The achievement will unlock once the match has ended.

    SemelweisReflexI originally met the requirements to get the free Crimson Omen skin back in 2019 but it never showed up when I tried to equip anything other than the default skin. Now today I hop back into a match after not touching the game for 3 years and to my surprise the skin was there for me to use.

    Captain HeroicOh dear nobody playing in Europe. The "Finding Opponents", just searches and searches. Any suggestions, I was picking team deathmatch as I need all the vs achievements and thought it would be the most popular?

    You can customize the weapon skin before the game starts. Then, you end a versus match. Win or lose, it's the same.
