Okay, so apparently, some gamers who bought the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition couldn’t get the Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle download code to work. Well, Epic Games has already gotten on the job and released the following workaround:

  • Launch the Xbox Dashboard
  • Sign into your Profile
  • Go to the Marketplace blade
  • Select “Account Management”
  • Select “Download History”
  • Under the “Games” section, select “Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle”
  • When the blade appears, select “Download Again”
  • Wait until the “download complete” confirmation toast appears

The process is a bit different for those who are already on the New Xbox Experience:

  • Launch the Xbox 360 Dashboard
  • Sign into a Profile
  • Go to the My Xbox channel
  • Select your profile (second selection) and press A
  • Select “Account Management”
  • Select “Download History”
  • Under the “Games” section, select “Gears of War 2 Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle”
  • When the blade appears, select “Download Again”
  • Wait until the “download complete” confirmation toast appears

If you’re still getting errors, wait a few minutes before you try again. Epic Games forum admin Flak also recommends deleting the original Golden Lancer download and THEN re-downloading it.  Says Flak, “As long as you entered the code and initiated the original download, deleting this won’t cause any re-download issues.”
