Gears of War 2 golden weapon download issue supposedly fixed [NXE Update]

By Xav de Matos

Update: As stated in the title the update was supposedly fixed and for some it was, others are still experiencing issues with the download.

You've sent in the tips, we've reported the issue and everyone involved has waited patiently for the gold-plated weapons download problem in Gears of War 2 to be fixed. According to the Gears 2 community manager the issue can be fixed by going through a relatively painless procedure. Here's what you have to do to get your golden guns downloaded:

  1. Launch the Xbox Dashboard
  2. Sign into your Profile
  3. Go to the Marketplace blade
  4. Select "Account Management"
  5. Select "Download History"
  6. Under the "Games" section, select "Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle"
  7. When the blade appears, select "Download Again"
  8. Wait until the "download complete" confirmation toast appears

The process should also work for the gold Hammerburst weapon given to gamers during midnight launch events.

Jump in to find out to fix the issue if you have the NXE.

Fixing the issue from the NXE is slightly different:

  1. Launch the Xbox 360 Dashboard
  2. Sign into your Profile
  3. Go to the My Xbox channel
  4. Select your profile (second selection) and press A
  5. Select "Account Management"
  6. Select "Download History"
  7. Under the "Games" section, select "Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle"
  8. When the blade appears, select "Download Again"
  9. Wait until the "download complete" confirmation toast appears
