Through its official Twitter account, Sledgehammer Games announced that gamers playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will be able to earn an entirely new set of gear beginning this weekend.

Sledgehammer Games initially made the announcement through a poster that featured the hashtags #AWGearDrops, #OneShotMoshPit and #2XPGunGame.

The video game developer then sent out a tweet containing an image of a preview of the gear drops coming to the game over the weekend.

The new gear set is the Marine Grenadier set, and it will be available for gamers to earn just in time for the weekend's double experience points bonus.

The new character loot will begin on Feb, 13 as part of AWGearDrops. The game's new gear will be included into the Supply Drop rotations, and gamers logging into the game over the weekend will be earning parts of the gear set.

The weekend will also be featuring two new modes, namely One Shot Mosh Pit and Gun Game. All these things happening all at once makes it very attractive for gamers to dive into Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare over the weekend.

The Gun Game mode was first seen by gamers in a previous iteration of the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops. The game mode pits six players in a free-for-all duel that does not give the players a choice on their load-out. In addition, all players start the game with only their pistols.

Every time a player kills another player, his weapon will change to another among the 20 listed weapons for the game. The winner is the first player to kill using each of the 20 weapons in the game.

Before Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was released, the developers said that the mode will be included in the title. However, it seems that there was not enough time to complete the Gun Game mode, but it will finally be released this weekend.

Activision said that it has made $11 billion from its Call of Duty franchise since the first version of the shooting game was launched in 2003, showing the value of the video game series to the company.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has received rave reviews and has been one of the best releases of the franchise. Several new gameplay aspects were introduced into the latest version of the game, including the exo-suits and futuristic weapons.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has versions available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
