Players can also earn unlocks that will carry over into the main game. Apparently exclusive to Bulletstorm players, the Flaming Hammerburst is rewarded for finishing a match by April 24. A Flaming Lancer is available to those who finish a match the week of April 25, followed by a Flaming Sawed-Off Shotgun the week of May 2, and a Flaming Gnasher Shotgun the week of May 9.

Playing any match gets you the Beta Tester Medal for your Gears 3 profile. Finishing 50 matches unlocks Thrashball Cole in the beta; completing 10 beta matches in that skin and you can keep it for the main game. By far the hardest reward to snag is the Gold-Plated Retro Lancer. You have to play 90 matches to unlock it, then score 100 kills using it in the beta to keep it for the final game.
