Gears 5 is one of the biggest titles released for the current generation of Xbox and it has taken a brand new direction for the franchise as well by introducing open-world mechanics into play. The multiplayer modes for Gears 5 have also been reworked and a lot of collaborations with different franchises have led to players getting some really cool characters and skin such as the Terminator: Dark Fate character pack. The latest character to arrive in Gears 5 is Bautista from WWE.
Fans of the WWE franchise would be super delighted because Bautista is a very prominent character in WWE and has been making waves over movies as well special in the Marvel universe where he plays Drax. Bautista has arrived in Gears 5 after a surprise announcement and at a time when no one was expecting him to arrive in the game. We can give credit to Bautista himself because he has been saying quite a lot that he would love to play as Marcus Fenix if Gears of War ever gets a movie.
Since Bautista is now officially in Gears 5, we can unlock him and play as him in the game. We have curated this little guide in which we have detailed how you can unlock and play as Bautista in Gears 5.
How to Unlock and Play as Bautista in Gears 5
Before we begin on how you can unlock Bautista, you should know that he is not a separate character but only a skin. Since Bautista will love to play as Marcus Fenix in the movie, he is a skin for Marcus Fenix in Gears 5. To unlock him, all you need to do is play Gear 5 between September 15, 2019, and October 28, 2019, and you will unlock Bautista as a skin for Marcus Fenix.
To play the game as Bautista, all you need to do after unlocking him is to go into character customization of Marcus Fenix and select the skin of your favorite wrestler. Your Marcus Fenix is now Bautista and you can play the game as him. Given the circumstances that Bautista is similar to Marcus Fenix in physique, the skin fits really well on him.
