Just finished completing all my totem challenges in Gears 5.

The backbone of the COG Army, the COG Gear is a strong support character that brings teammates back into the fight!
Ultimate Ability instantly revives teammates from across the battlefield, saving the day in both Horde and Escape.
Their PVE Skills focus on supporting allies, including providing Stim to teammates and tougher damage resistance to keep them in the fight.
The COG Gear also comes with two base skins of the COG Gear – the Male Private Vermelo and the Female Private Casan!
DEEBEE
Abilities In: Arcade
Arcade Passive: X-Ray – See nearby enemies through walls
Arcade Loadout: Lancer, Talon, Smoke

EARNING CHARACTERS
Totems are your new way to unlock Characters in Gears 5, opening up a path of Challenges to complete in order to add the Character to your collection.
CRAFT YOUR TOTEM
Under the new Totems section in the Customization Menu, spend 100 Scrap to craft the Totem of any Hero or Villain character you want to unlock.
COMPLETE CHALLENGES
Equip your Totem to activate tracking for character challenges associated to the Totem. Note: Only ONE Totem can be active at a time and must be equipped to track progress.
Each Character has five objectives to complete in order to unlock. In this Character Drop, all Characters have the same four objectives with one unique objective themed to each character. Note that these do NOT track together – only for the equipped Totem.
