    Accurate.

    This is borderline insane.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 01:36 PM PST

    I love this game but it's got to be one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever played

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 08:55 PM PST

    60% of the time, it works everytime.

    Horde Player PSA: If you want something done from engineers ... SAY SOMETHING

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 06:23 AM PST

    If you have a problem with where Del puts the fabricator or what Del builds 1st, 2nd, etc. ... SAY SOMETHING.

    Don't go radio silent for the whole match saying nothing, and then passively aggressively DM me after the match saying "stupid useless."

    When I got that message, I was so confused. I had a mic the whole time and specifically kept telling people from the beginning

    "I'm gonna put the fabricator over here; if you want it somewhere else, say something. If you want something specific built or placed somewhere, say something. Otherwise, it's WLs, sentries, and barriers."

    Obviously paraphrasing there. But at that point, anything done "wrong" was entirely your fault because you didn't contribute any input when it was asked of you.

    This is a cooperative game type. If you CHOOSE not to say anything with a mic or in-game chat, you need to live with the consequence of what you consider sub-optimal builds. Sleep in that bed you made.

    ToD II Finished, thanks for the rewards TC

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 01:22 PM PST

    People like me on the Post-Release Gears 5 Survey are probably why the game is in the poor state it is.

    An off the cuff unboxing of the Gears Pop Collectors Box

    TIL: You can actually slide down the slide on Icebound as Jack.

    Horde: Speedrun idea with JD and Keegan?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 09:34 PM PST

    Anyone successfully able to spam JD's ultimate now that Keegan is in horde?

    With Keegan he can mark multiple enemies and reduce cool down of teammates ultimate that kill enemies you marked.

    This could work well with JD and explosive bleed, additional artillery round card, his gold card that reduces cool down even more, and his purple card that drops artillery shells on all marked enemies.

    There's even a card for Keegan that will automatically mark enemies that are shooting at you. This worked fantastic with a Jack that was continuously healing me and all the enemies were shooting me and quite literally all the enemies were marked.

    This could be the horde speed run strat for gears 5 but would probably require a lot of communication with a mic and decent horde friends, both of which I don't have.

    Just wondering if anyone has actually tried this and can report how well it works. There was a ton of horde speed running strategies in gears 4 and would like to eventually see some for 5.

    Onyx Guard deserves to be unique.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 02:12 PM PST

    I mean seriously. Casan and Vermello have got to be the biggest degenerates in gears history. Not only are their voice lines absolute cringe, but they don't even sound authentic. The Onyx guard is supposed to be the best of the best. The one from the end of the campaign even has a unique voice. TC, PLEASE fix this. The OG shouldn't be whittled down to nothing but a skin for two shitty basic COG Gears. This really shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but good god I hate it.

    Quiz time.

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:25 AM PST

    What is a better use of 20,000 or 30,000 power in Horde?

    A) Multiple fully upgraded fortifications.

    B) The next 2% additional damage on your Gnasher.

    If you chose (A), congratulations! You are smarter than 95% of the player base. If you chose (B), please either reconsider, or go back to Versus.

    Why

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 12:07 AM PST

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't we have separate skins for swarm and cog, like gears 4?

    Thoughts of Allfathers Arena?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 04:56 PM PST

    How do you play Kait in horde on higher difficulties/waves?

    Posted: 29 Dec 2019 02:11 AM PST

    Hi, I'm struggling a bit with Kait in horde. Early waves everything works out fine and is fun. But the more I progress in horde with Kait. The more useless i feel.

    So I'm wondering what is the best way to actually play Kait in higher waves or difficulties?

    This may get burried in new, but I made a list of some simple changes that I think would help Gears 5 a lot.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 04:02 PM PST

    Character selection: The character selection in this game is a real pain at the moment. It didn't matter in previous games when characters weren't tied down to objectives and game modes. Because of things like ToD objectives that require specific characters to complete, we need more opportunities to change our characters. We shouldn't have to back out of a game just to switch a character (Being in Australia, it can take a very long time to find a game and other countries have it way worse(We're talking 40-60 + minutes)). Is a simple "Change Character" option too much to ask for in game intervals?

    Escape and Horde is a little different. Because of the character lock, lots of people quit before starting because they can't play as who they want. A simple solution: Choose a character to queue up as. It's not a new concept and I'm surprised this wasn't in from the start. You just have to have something like this for a mode that doesn't allow dupes.

    View ToD between games: This partly ties in with character selection but would still be very handy on its own. Being able to check your ToD either in game or between games would make everything a lot more bearable. Again, I don't wanna back out of a game to get a new objective or check progress on a medal. It's disruptive and annoying. Being able to get a new objective and check progress on the fly would be great. We want to keep playing without stopping every 3 or 4 games.

    The dreaded store: No one likes it but it's here to stay. I've never used it but if a change like this one was brought in, I just might. Get rid of iron and just have the flat price on the item for everyone to see clearly. Iron (and other in-game currencies) is made to trick and deceive people into having to buy more than they need. It sucks that TC has reverted to these sneaky tactics. No iron, just prices. Is that too much to ask?

    Confirm to exit: Are you sure you want to exit game?

    Curb stomp: Ok. This is just silly. The curb stomp we all love and deserve has been in the game since launch but for whatever silly reason, only the bots have it? I'm not even gonna try to wrap my head around this logic.

    I have a question about Skill Cards once they max

    Posted: 28 Dec 2019 07:21 PM PST

    What happens to any you get after you reach Level 5 for that particular card? I just noticed a number next to the 5 on the card but it's different per Level 5 card. Is that how many Duplicates I have? If so how do I scrap them?
