Gears of War E-Day is a prequel to the Gears of War series, depicting the initial alien attack on the planet Sera.

As a result, the Lancers used in the game are prototypes of the ones in later installments.

Hence the word “prototype” in the name of the replica.

Now this isn’t the first Lancer replica to be released.

In fact, we got to go hands-on with one a decade ago around the release of Gears of War 4.

But this is the latest one, and it matches the weapons seen in Gears of War E-Day, complete with “a custom, hand-painted battle-worn ‘E-Day' finish that reflects the immediate chaos of the initial strike.

”The replica is full-scale and detailed, and it can be wielded to scare your friends, just like the real thing.

But it’s intended to be a display piece, and as such, it comes with a stand and an informational placard so you can set it on your desk or shelf.

Gears of War E-Day comes out October 6, and preorders are live now.

You can get a peek at the multiplayer in our first preview of the game.
