When did it have to be gnashers of war? the lancer is the most iconic weapon of the franchise and deserves to be at least usable.

90% of the community disagrees with everything youâre saying, gnasher has always been the staple of multiplayer. Even in gears 1.

It has been used as an image sell point because the gun looks cool though but most gears heads know itâs not #1

This right here is why the community is getting smaller. While I love the gnasher there needs to be more ways to play the game
Making fun of people because they dont use the gnasher and the lack of teaching new people how to move and do things in vs is a huge issue

I use the gnasher ALOT, i just know that the lancer is now a core part of gears 5, the maps are designed around it and to then nerf it to the point to where it is now is gonna ruin the flow of the game. iâm diamond atm, i just donât want the new changes to make there way into live branch

If you do a back A, in the game now compared to the playlist. I would say that it works 80 % better and land more consistently in the playlist.
I do understand that ping and net code creates a lot of issues which zii showcases. This has always been the case in gears and is not something new. These problems will be more severe if the chunk range is lowered as well. Because players has to move in closer to their targets. Imagen the chaos. And there will be even more clips of sponge then ever before.
LOL Please learn how to play Gears of War properly.
Kind regards ,
All Good players

Reduced lancer dps is exactly what we need!
Popular opinion;
You shouldnât be able to âsolo downâ as the lancer is intended to be a âsupportâ weapon.

RED, youâre exactly right. Gnasher needs to be great but not at the expense of every other gun in the game. Even FFA is gnashers only permanently. It gets boring.
A super niche product will only ever garner you a super niche audience. Gears will die if it only appeals to sweaty competitive play 24/7.

You should absolutely be able to solo down a player rushing head on from a mid range or caught wandering out of cover with a lancer. Good players can evade/make effective use of cover. I think that making it too powerful is dangerous and will lead to turtle style campy gameplay, but where itâs at right now really feels ultimately worthless. I think drastically reducing the bloom but keeping the damage in a similar spot would be a great compromise.

Yeah the slide speed change is a little too drastic imo. But I would not be oppose to a speed in the middle. It just feels a little too slow.

I personally like the Gnasher tuning in close range, but it unfortunately feels far too inconsistent at any range beyond close quarters I feel like this has part to do with the aim down sights being soo worthless that the only option is to barrel stuff the enemy and blind fire. Also coming back to a GEARS game without active reload is rather insulting. That timer is still burned into the back of my skull to this day. I understand why they did it and what theyâre going for but it feels like a move in the wrong direction that was only made for the pro player scene.

You still can if you donât miss. It only requires a single extra bullet than it did previously, the main difference youâre noticing now is the lack of aim assist.

Lancer players who complain about how a Gnasher user makes a push is that they âjust run at youâ⌠which almost NEVER happens. What actually happens is a Gnasher user will wallbounce at you and you are missing your shots.
Here is clear proof that on the Beta tuning, you can down a player who is running head down at you in the way that Lancer users claim.
Please recognise that Gears 4 and Gears 5 made everything too easy for you, the Lancer has barely been nerfed and people are behaving as if itâs now useless. What youâre actually noticing is the lack of Actives, reduction in Magnetism and the fact your opponent is now allowed to regenerate health.
The Lancer in the Beta playlist is fine.

This is a BRILLIANT example of hitting your shots and getting the reward for it. If a person roadie runs like that they deserve to be punished for it too.
The shorthand answer is though, if you feel the Lancer does not work Iâm sorry; itâs because you cannot aim properly.

Lmao you guys kill me. Gears 3 and Ultimate Edition had lancers that worked just fine and no one cared, but point out that the bloom has made it less than useful in Gears 5 and all you hear is âyOu CaNât aImâ
Accept that others will feel differently than you, or at least get some new material.
