Do you want to see old weapons return to multiplayer?

Give me the digger and I’m diamond in every game mode.

Scorcher! Had one of the best executions! Would love to see it return :fire:

Long Live Guardian!!

They would probably just have to make it so it couldn’t be planted into the ground in the first place, otherwise it would be far too broken in Horde (fortifications are strong af right now)

I guess no one played Judgment…

Breechshot

I want no “new” additions to Gears 5’s weapons at all. None whatsoever.

The reason is, as I’ve said before, that they can’t seem to get the base game working correctly never mind complicating it further.

Almost 14 years of history and they can’t even get the damn Gnasher right.

Not every weapon has to be added to MP, there are a few that are practically nonexistent (Claw, Cryo, Overkill, etc.)

I doubt like 80% of what people are asking for is ever going to be fixed, stuff like netcode or servers and some of those glitches will likely never leave Gears 5 sadly.

Considering server issues and those glitches we al know of take priority, then by that logic it’s more or less confirmed that previous weapons not present will never be added.

TC would probably be far better off focusing on bringing back stuff that fans having been crying over for years instead of fixing rare exploits/glitches that players can go hundreds of hours of playtime without experiencing.

Which one do you think would get more fans to go back and play Gears 5 again, if they were to bring back say the Scorcher (word on the street says this is a possibility) or if they were to fix some bugs? I know which one I would rather see is all I’ll say about that.

What we need is for the Gears multiplayer to go back to what it was in Gears 2/3 and not the crap fest we have had in the last 2 games.

Seriously a year on since launch and i still have no desire to play MP in Gears 5 since the BETA

There is a significant amount of loyal fans that would play even more if they would simply fix the server issues and have a working Gnasher.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Scorcher. The execution it had was beautiful and I’d welcome it back, but it’s important pales in comparison to the issues I’ve stated.

If only they’d actually listened to the feedback they got over Gears 4’s lifespan. We wouldn’t even need to have this discussion. I’d have the Digger back over that Dropshot any day.

If they don’t want to bring them back for multiplayer at least make scorcher and the HoD ultimates like the silverback

Just let me crisp people

I have an idea. Make a mode called Legacy, where you can play all game types with all of the old weapons. Pickup placements are randomized and so are the weapon spawns. For example, you could start the map and pickup a Gorgon the first time, and then have a Breechshot spawn in its place after the timer. Adds suspense, nostalgia, and unpredictability.

Which Gorgon?

Lol the burst one. Knew I should have specified.
Not only do I like the burst one better, but the Talon is already full auto so it would make sense to have the burst version for variety.

You answered correctly and are free to live another day :slight_smile:

I dunno. I just think each weapon should be distinctly different to one another. Some weapons like the Breechshot seems to have alot in common with the Markza and Boltok. It was a cool weapon, but I’m not sure there’s a role for it anymore.

The Scorcher is a weapon I’d like to return. This seems to be different enough to existing weapons.

The Boom Shield and Booshka as well, seem to offer something unique and different.

I wish the mortar would return.

One cool thing would be classic maps as in a map from gears 2 would have the weapons it had in gears 2. A map from gears 3 would have the weapons it had in gears 3.

Almost all of it is either related to low population numbers (especially in remote regions) or netcode (which won’t ever be changed) so there is no “fixing” it.

The real problem is that TC are apparently perfectionists when it comes to Versus tuning, they just need to finally settle on what they want from the experience.

Those are basically the same weapons though, I’d rather they bring back weapons that offered something more unique or, in other words, different from what we have now.

That does little to explain why Gears 4 commonly runs a lot better with very little server issues.

I’d like to think they could stabilise the servers to the point in not seeing a packet loss symbol every single match. It’s unacceptable.

The problem is they don’t have a clue. They fix something and break another simultaneously. It’s quite a skill. Their recent Gnasher fixes looked very promising but with the lack of proper hit detection it makes very little difference.

Similar from a point of view but very different from another. It was merely a comment as I enjoyed using it, I’m aware there are other excellent weapons.

You could make the Hammerburst and Gorgon select fire so you can swap between fire modes.
Just a thought, maybe it’s too Call of Duty?
