Need some tips to improve

Gears 5
1

So I’m extremely bad at the game, like really really bad. My main weaknesses are aiming accurately and doing pretty much any of the advanced movement. Beforehand my only reliable way of getting kills was the lancer/chainsaw and now that it’s been nerfed into uselessness I’m in a bad spot. I’ve played since Gears 1 and I was decent at Gears 3 and 4 but for some reason, I struggle to break double digit kills in this game. I really need some advice from experienced players because getting 10 straight Ls in a single session while going massively negative is demoralizing to say the least, lol.

My advice:

  • practice in quickplay until ready to join ranked/competitive

  • practice when to hold your shot and get familiar with the chunk range

  • find your playstyle, there’s tips on yt but ultimately you’ll find what works for you

  • Lancer imo is still very useful, being a great teammate is just as important as being a slayer

  • keep tabs on power weapons and practice with them

  • learn the maps

  • learn the UP-A, Back-A, Wrap Shot, Blind Fire, Reaction, etc.

  • Know when to hard aim & when to hip fire

overall you’ll learn so long as you practice

when you’ve honed your skillzz, feel free to comment on this thread:

It takes time to practice man, regardless of what you’re using to play, m&k or controller. This isnt for just gears, this is just in general. @Danny_Ucey the goat gave you some great tips for getting better at gears, just stick with it and you’ll be great in no time :wink:
