To be honest the new boltok reticle looks good to me. It suits pretty well enemy head.
Really strange changes are enforcer and longshot. Enforcer round reticle looks weird because the whole DB weapon set has simple square forms and old reticle suits it wery well. By the way that round reticle looks like a shotgun reticle from the other games, so it’s even more weird.
New longshot reticle has just cross with dot, so it’s ok by itself, but i see it’s not very comfortable for noscope shots.
I think they changed reticles to make them more suitable for pc.
P.S. I’m ok with new gnasher reticle.

Oooh, another one of those rare times we agree! I know, it was actually alright in the end!
Fair enough.
Interesting, I haven’t had a look at the Enforcer or Longshot reticule yet. I’ll need to check it out, doesn’t sound promising.
Yeh. Well, I’m not sure what to make of the Hammerburst but the way 4s reticle actually showed how much your Boltok shots would spread depending on how quickly you fired it was real nice.

The Longshot reticle it’s fine for me, looks more precise.
Gears 5 Longshot
Gears 5 Enforcer
Gears 5 Markza
Now for the Gears 4 versions for comparison…
Gears 4 Longshot
Gears 4 Enforcer
Gears 4 Markza
In all honesty, I’m not a fan of the changes. I’m used to the Longshot as it is, the smaller reticle doesn’t appeal to me. As for the Enforcer, the circle just looks ridiculous. It was fine the way it was, it looked more accurate. The Markza hasn’t changed so that’s good at least.

I’m actually fine with the changes. I’m assuming the reticle, dot, etc still turn red when an enemy is lined up? Never a fan of the oval or round reticles. Have we seen the embar reticle for 5?

Yes, it still goes red. No footage of the EMBAR yet though.

There is a overkill one too, it’s similar to the old one but a little smaller

Finally a chainsaw/lancer type for the swarm too!

It’ll be interesting to use. The crystals attached explain how they’re able to engage chainsaw duels with a Lancer, but I’m curious what happens when you win the duel with this weapon. Locust crystals right through the skull?
Ouch.

Yeah for sure, I think like the trailer shows It’s like a manual saw, so you need to “shake” it to cut people/enemies/etc

I’m curious about how this shoots.
Would it be fully automatic, semi auto, burst first, single shot?
But from the Escape trailer, it looked like burst fire.
A LMG is supposed to be fully automatic though.

Looks like a Thompson too

When looking back at the Campaign Trailer, there was a gameplay section where Kait was shooting at Swarm Flock with a strange looking weapon with round drum magazine from above the gun.
I’m assuming that was the Claw LMG. It actually makes sense. And she was hipfiring, making the bullets spread everywhere. It wasn’t too accurate.

There’s no gameplay that I could find of it yet, but judging by that it looks like a burst rifle. I can’t see it being to accurate, otherwise it’s more or less a poor Swarm Hammerburst clone.
Hopefully I’m wrong, a new weapon should definitely be new.
I realy don’t like the new longshot reticule, and i’m not a fan of the gnasher reticule either, but the rest I don’t mind. The markza reticule I think is an improvement tho, and the HB.
