Gears 5 Pc

The official website for Gears of War. Co-Op gameplay information about Gears 5 on PC. Find co-op news, reviews, and more info about this game. Gears 5 will feature three different co-op options: Campaign Co-Op (3 players max) - team.

NEW MODE: GRIDIRONOne Flag. Gridiron is our brand-new, single life objective mode!In Gridiron, two teams of five battle over a flag that can be used to score a touchdown in the opposing team’s endzone. At the start of each round, the flag rotates between one of three locations along the center line of the map. Picking up the flag is as simple as touching it.Don’t worry, there are no limitations for being a flag carrier other than the massive target on your back. Fight hard and slay up!After picking up the flag and entering the enemy endzone you’ll need to survive for 5 seconds to score a touchdown.

If at any time you go down or die then the flag is dropped at your feet, and can be grabbed by the enemy team.As much as the flag is the center of the action in Gridiron, this is a one-life mode so kills pay the bills. AUGUSTUS COLEThe one and only Cole Train is back baby! Augustus Cole makes his return to PVP and PVE in Gears 5 the only way he could – making one hell of an entrance.In PVE, the Cole Train is an unstoppable force, bringing his legendary Thrashball plays to the frontline. His Ultimate sends Cole charging forward in a blaze of fire, staggering enemies in his path and leaving a trail of fire in his wake.Cole is packing some extra tricks in his pocket too. This is Cole we’re talking about! Cole’s melee is replaced by a powerful punch that stuns enemies. He can also melee while roadie running to perform his signature Thrashball tackle too!Cole also introduces a new status effect to the game – Burning.

Once you level up Cole, you’ll find many of his cards are built around this new effect. CLAYTON CARMINEThe Grub Killer returns. The only Carmine to survive the curse of death (so far), Clayton is back to tear it up against the Swarm in both PVE and PVP.In PVE, his Reflective Shell ability deflects all ballistic damage back to the enemy for a short time, allowing him to survive against overwhelming odds and turn incoming attacks into huge amounts of damage. With Skill Cards, Clayton can even deflect projectiles back to the enemy, including missiles, rockets and buzz saw blades.Reflective Shell has the fastest charge time out of every ultimate – but only lasts five seconds when used, so timing is key! Clayton also features some Skill Cards that help his team become just as survivable as he isalmost.

PAHANUPahanu is a brand new map set among the ruins of an old civilization and the twisted oversized trunks of the jungle.This intense jungle landscape puts a unique twist on Gears combat, with its organic cover, strong flanks, intimidating rifle positions and position-obscuring fauna that’s unlike anything else in Gears 5 today.Two intimidating hills mark the spawn area for each team, leading into the open swamps of the middle of the map. The altar in its center contains a key weapon pickup, but making it there is half the battle.Flank through the cave side for ranged weapons and another key weapon pickup. Prepare for close-range battles thanks to the tight nature of the cave formation and surrounding cover.On the opposite side, the larger Ruins area offers a mix of combat, with solid Lancer positions overlooking the cover-filled center. Watch for risky, but deadly flanks from the mid-cut. NEW TILE FAMILY: BARRACKSWe’re introducing a brand-new series of Tiles in Operation 3 with the arrival of Barracks! This new tile family sports a militaristic look and is packed with close-quarters, tight spaces that diversity it from the existing tile sets.Mining and Ventilation also get a new tile each with the new Venom Scrubber room, which delays the spread of venom for a short amount of time.The Barracks Tile family contains 18 tiles and will be available in future Operation Hives and through Map Builder.

A NOTE ON MAPS FOR GEARS 5We know traditional Versus / Horde Maps are incredibly important to you. We’ve recently been re-evaluating the game from the ground up to assess how we can deliver more of the content you want and prioritize accordingly.As of Operation 3, we have significantly scaled back development of Tiles in order to put more resources into the development of maps for Versus / Horde. Unfortunately, the benefits of this change weren’t able to increase the number of maps in Operation 3, but rest assured, more maps are coming.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months. IMPROVEMENTSThe most noticeable change when you log in on March 31st will be the extra Objective slot in the Tour of Duty system. This goes hand-in-hand with our re-work on the Objectives in Operation 3.Two Objectives slots are now dedicated to generic objectives (e.g. Kill X enemies) that can be completed in PVE or PVP, plus one slot for PVP and one slot for PVE. This should help you complete more objectives more consistently just by playing in your preferred modes of choice.Secondly, we’ve added a new mechanic where playing the game in any way also earns you Stars.

As you finish matches in PVP or PVE, you’ll see progress towards earning additional Stars to bolster your Tour of Duty. Now, whenever you play, you are always working towards completing your Tour.

CONTENTDid someone say RECRUIT CLAYTON? Operation 3 is jam packed with our strongest Tour of Duty lineup to date featuring insane executions, eye-catching weapons skins and those super sweet Character Skins.Show ‘em how you roll with new prop based Expressions. Throw down a Thrashball with ‘Thrashball Spike’ or pump some weights with ‘Do You Even Lift Bro?’.Put down your enemies with a varierty of new executions, like the electrifying Charged EMBAR finisher or the brutal on-your-knees Boltok execution of Cold Blooded. You might wanna throw on one of those new Greater Than or Silent Skull bloodsprays while you’re at it.Rock some new style with our latest Tour of Duty weapon skin selection.

Speak their language with the Locust Runes weapon skin set, go to the source with the remaining Niles weapon skins or go flashy with the animated Ink and Liquid Metal sets.Finally, but certainly not least, the stars of our show – Character Skins. Tour 3 drops a mix of fan favorites from the past with brand new favorites of the future including Recruit Clayton, Savage Swarm Characters and more.At the top of the mountain lies the ultimate bragging rights skin – the Ronin Armored Kantus.

If people you see you rocking this skin, you know they’re gonna be jealous. This is one to make it to general for.

Posted: 19 AprilGenre - 3rd Person Action Sci-Fi with competitive and co-op modesI have barely touched any Gear game since the first one, mainly due to their lack of accessibility on the PC.I am quite a fan of 3rd person action games and thought I'd give this a go whilst on sale. I have played story mode solo and in co-op. Both methods work fairly seamlessly. Although I did experience a few bugs.

Reloading the last or previous checkpoint was easy enough. Co-op is actively encouraged and enjoyable. There are also collectibles for the hunters amongst you. Although one full solo play through was enough for me.I have recently tried a 50 wave Horde mode (way to long) and Escape mode (short and sweet) in co-op. Competitive modes are quite varied, and most were fun with people and/or bots. There is an in game shop, but I didn't see the need to spend any real money yet.

Although maybe if I carry on playing and they do sales I might get the odd unlock of characters.Weapons are fun to use, and the cover system works well. The bosses in modes are good. But after encountering them all I wouldn't mind seeing some new additions here.It's hard for me to comment if you are already a fan of the series, but as a new arrival I found this a fun game that I could easily comeback to at any point. Posted: 19 AprilAs of writing this guide, I have sunk at least 1000 hours into this game since I have played it via Microsoft Store mostly instead of Steam. I did that due to being able to play 4 days earlier (which wasn't possible with the Steam version). It turned out to be a mistake because the game was plagued with many launch issues like losing stats especially but slowly The Coalition managed to fix most of them.I do play Versus, however not nearly as much as I play PvE so my feedback is mainly based on PvE content rather than PvP.There's many different opinions about the PvE. A ton of people don't like the new class system, me however, I enjoy it.

The game does require you to grind the same maps over and over again but with some time, you'll be able to pretty much only play on the highest two difficulties. Escape is a nice variety over the tons of Horde matches I repetitively played. It's a lot more tactical, a bit harder than Horde and always a new challenge when a new one is released (at least 6 Escape Hives per 3 months). Escapes usually take about 15 mins, while Horde takes you about 2-3 hours.This game is based on grinding hard, really hard. Unlocking all the skill cards with the characters takes quite some time. Reaching Re-Up 50 (which is the Prestige system), takes even longer (I'd estimate it at around 3 years currently, if no XP boosting is involved, by playing 4h a day each). There is a possibility to buy boosts with Iron, which can be earned 500 per operation (3 months) with the Tour of Duty or bought via microtransactions.

A 100 day boost requires 1500 iron. Tour of Duty comes with medals, which is usually grinding certain kills/eliminations and daily challenges which are similar. Finishing the Tour of Duty is usually not a problem if you play 30mins a day.The campaign involves certain open world aspects linked to certain story progression (it's a mix of the two).

Unfortunately the open world part itself involves no enemies, you'll have to drive to a side-mission to face a few enemies. Jack is your friend in the campaign who can be upgraded by finding components throughout the entire campaign. The story itself is alright, I really enjoy the transitions between cutscenes and actual gameplay since you can not really see them when playing on PC.Basically I do not recommend this game to play who do not like grinding but for anyone else it's actually quite alright. Just be aware that with every patch that is released, there's usually some flaws in it (positively and negatively) in a sense of making things unobtainable, yet other things way easier to achieve due to some bugs.Feel free to ask in the comments anything you'd like to know, I'm happy to answer them.

Posted: 18 AprilNo idea what they were thinking but why the semi open world ♥♥♥♥? Its boring and repetitive as hell and does not feel like a gears game at all.Campaign is somewhat enjoyable if you have some friends to suffer alongside with you - if not for the split screen feature I'd have refunded this right away.Multipayer is a huge never ending grind I bought the ultimate edition but Im still locked out from using many characters, and to unlock a character I have to spend like, at least 30 ♥♥♥♥ing hours??? (even with the booster packs came along with the Ultimate edition) Also there are like 500$ worth micro transactions in this game I feel like I'm playing a ♥♥♥♥ing F2P title lmaoGrab it on sale if you really have to.I bought it for 15$ and still disappointed.
