Gears 5 |OT| "That's FIVE, motherfuckers!"
- Thread starter Dyashen

I'd say treat it as a sort of a tower defense game with the fabricator as a base. You can place various fortifications which greatly help. Its good to find a defensible point on the map as a choke point for enemies (i:e upstairs on Icebound). When you're at the end of a wave its good to leave 1 or more enemies alive to give time to repair fortifications, grab ammo, and prepare for the next wave. When you fight bosses its sometimes better to just clears the ads(additional enemies) before fighting the boss themselves. Its also good to lure them away from your base if it threatens to destroy your fortifications.
Don't forget to use and upgrade fortifications. Even having barriers placed is enough to slow down enemies and give you some time. You can deposit the power you get into the fabricator for the entire squad to have access to, give it players individually by aiming at them and hitting "give power", or keep it on your person to make sure nobody will use your power on a fortification you don't want (mostly in the case of public with randoms).
Nope, can't skip. You can, however, walk around and pick things up. Like power, weapons, ammo boxes, etc. It really helps if you're next to an ammo box at the end of the wave and snatch it up before it spawns another next wave.
You can choose if you host a game, otherwise no. People dont typically stick around for all 50 waves or even make it all 50 waves with randoms :S. Its mostly a private group type of thing.
I played through about 4 hours of the campaign last night with 2 friends. This might be the best co-op game I've ever played. The robot guy is super helpful & we're having a blast every moment. I haven't played a Gears game in almost 10 years now but this feels great
Yep, twice today I've hit it. Seeing a bunch of people on my twitter complaining about it, too.
I would take my console offline to see if it's a network issue - but this isnt my primary console. It's a real shame as I'm really enjoying the game.
Did any of the reviews mention this? Because if they didn't, I'm guessing it's networking related. Has there been any comment from Coalition?
Jeez snipers are even more OP in arcade. There's no reason to run a Gnasher class when you can just one-shot everyone long and close range.
Xbox players should probably turn off crossplay because this is the best lineup on PC right now.

It's network related due to play anywhere. If you go offline all the glitches go away. Stats and Dave's are messed up.
Damn, Escape mode with 4 difficulty settings, went up from Level 67 to 77.
Had luck at the end cause there is a bug at the moment that when someone left and rejoins then all enemies disappear if you die 1-2 times again with the rejoined player.
But still, the game acts like I never played through one of them, no time in the leaderboards or statistics. That really sucks.

Lol longshot on mouse is actually hilarious. Just railing off back to back headshots anytime someone pokes out.
I've only been able to completely play 1of 3 multi rounds. It's crashed twice at the what of the map.
Between this and the campaign progression bugs. I might wait a week to play it more

I hope my save didn't get corrupted last night. I died and the saving progress loading circle just sat there indefinitely against the blood red death background. I just shut the game off and went to sleep.
Thank you so much for the answer! I really had no clue about any of this. Really appreciate it. 🥰
I think it's going to be more fun now that have some more info about the mode. Really hope they add a shorter version of it. I enjoy the idea of the mode but 50 waves is too long for me.
I'm actually generally enjoying the multiplayer modes so far! 🤸♂️ Escape is cool especially if you play with a good group.
Cool twice now I've lost progress because the game has froze up on me.
I think it's related to instant on but replaying stuff because of this sucks.

I think I'm enjoying this game way more than any other Gears game.
I uh...was not expecting this but holy shit.
Game is fucking fantastic.

i'm pretty much a noob to Gears multiplayer but my experience so far is that nearly every game will have a couple of snipers that just devastate your team and the sound is so good on the game that it's impossible to sneak up on them without detection. It's crazy how effective they are.
The matriarch fight is honestly one of the worst boss fights in a game this year. Omg with all the fucking bullshit. 😂
Dear developers, if you cant design a boss fight just fucking dont. Please.
Too much health, one shot mechanics(on medium) and scripted shit where it turns red and you dont see anything. Kthxbai

The first thing when I booted up Gears 5, I turned voice chat completely off in the options.
If playing with randoms, it is horrendous.
A mod edited someone else's post a bit ago to put a spoiler tag around that, you may want to edit your post.
Only really feels like that for precision weapons imo. Stuff like gnasher duels and most other encounters play out fine on pad. But longshot and embar? Let your KB+M players grab them lol. Anyone remotely experienced with pc shooters will clean up.
Which is what I mean... it gives an advantage for specific weapons, and no downside.
I was about to post about how fun this game is to play on Experienced and then I got to the abandoned mine. Fuck off.
So campaign co-op is not working at all at the moment? Just tried getting into a game with a friend, no matter who was hosting as soon as the mission started to load the other one was removed.
Campaign finished, a little underwhelmed by the story tbh but it was really fun to play all around. Act III and IV go crazy
Kinda sucks that the servers problems are affecting my achievements, got at least 3 that didn't pop, including the one from finishing the campaign
yeah, its pretty handy. All Jack's abilities are great, really take the gameplay to another level with a bunch of options to tackle the fights

It's actually really easy to kill him, just freeze him with the jack ability or with the crio weapon and then shot at the back, when it turns red just stay away from him...
You have the choice to opt out if you're playing ranked. But yeah, I don't think you have a choice in arcade/quickplay PvP.
I'm in act 1 just after the helicopter went down after talking to Jinn and I'm not sure what to do? No objective has loaded and I'm stuck in a room that seemingly has no exits. Trying to exit to the main menu and reload the checkpoint just causes the game to load infinitely. Did I fuck something up?
How are the online services coping this afternoon, Era? The past few days have obviously been rocky, not long got home from work and feel like playing some ranked but not if the servers are still taking a shit.
Is this the year of terrible boss fights?
RE2 and Plague's Tale also had those issues
IIRC, you have to use Jack's Stim ability to run through the thin wall of flames.
Waist deep into Act 2, I'm playing on Insane for whatever reason so it's a bit of grind but I'm enjoying it so far. The Gears 2 callbacks are pretty neat but I've been hit by the checkpoint bug more times than I'd like. I'm also still getting kicked out of MP and horde games as well.
If it is the Stim part, that is quite obscure unless you happen to switch to the Stim. I didn't, as I wasn't interested in using it as, at the time, I was using scanner for finding items.
A bit annoying.
Why excuse terrible game design? No its not really easy to kill him as its takes like goddamn 15 minutes to take his HP down. He has a TON of health and just like that you are dead because you got either picked up, run over or jumped on.
This boss fight is pure shit and it really sours me on an otherwise good game.
