Please remove the "Vacuum" effect from chainsaw and mantel kick

Gears 5
#19

The chainsaw is highly inconsistent in its logic…

If you are trying to revv it up, it stops if you get hit by a stray pellet (or sustain any damage from anything, like a near by incends), or get smoked

Once it’s fully revved up, only a smoke stun will make it stop, you can get hit multiple times, it won’t stop it.

I am waiting to see how they implemented in in Gears 5, apparently the lancer will now have a regular melee and the chainsaw will be a special key/feature… I really hope it no longer stops revving up with stray pellers, it really makes it largely useless in a crowed battle field where bullets are flying around all the time (like KOTH, near the ring).

or horde, trying to chainsaw a Juvie jumping around you, as it keeps scratching you, every time it hits you, the chainsaw revvup stops…

I think thats more of a server issue maybe, I could be wrong though .

#21

I really hope thats not true or if it is you just tap for regular and hold to chainsaw. And i hope by special it just means unique to the lancer and you dont have to do anything special to earn it or god forbid refuel it

Yea that was fun. You go around the cover I mantle and suck you in then I end up behind you so I couldnt shank you …Good Times

I can’t wait for the new Lumberjack simulator, it’s gon’ be lit.

Well in that case they better remove the vacuum effect from the gnasher, frag grenades and pretty much every other weapon in the game, because it happens with them too. Tbh tho, the chainsaw needs it. You make it too underpowered and there’s no point of even using it, just like the gears 2 chainsaw: hit by 1 stray pellet while revving and you get flinched 3 times before you can rev it again. Imagine that the signature weapon of one of the most popular video game series not being used.

Well, you may have a point there…

But I still don’t think it’s something that has to be in PvE modes, for the enemies at least. There’s nothing more annoying than being the Scout and running past a Drone Elite well outside of chainsaw range only to get sucked into it anyway. Pointless and unwarranted death.

Dude, can’t even joke about that

#28

Seriously? I didn’t see anywhere, not even on Escape streams where X became Reload. Otherwise, I would’ve seen it mentioned already.

#29

Yea this is def something thats been around since gears 1. Also the rolling past a player and you get lagged backwards.

It wasn’t, I was joking…figured it was obvious.

You’re joking right? What about the ‘‘matchmaking times list’’? Cleary lacking in popularity. Have you ever played an old ■■■ game where everyone still playing it are like family members and ■■■■ lol? That’s not the place you want to be in… Smells like death.

What??? The hell you talkin about man. Just wtf…

I’m talking about the post the DEVs put out a while back. Mentioning that you basically should only play your game mode in the heavy traffic hours for that game mode. They had specified times for every game mode. To avoid the 10 min. search cancel or whatever. So, how is the game popular? If you can’t even find people to play with, that’s what I meant.

#34

I can find games in less than a minute anytime of day. All depends on location

You may have a point there, but I meant the series as a whole, not just gears of war 4 lol. You can’t deny gears is one of the bigger of the console titles tho.

OK, I misread it, but it’s still weird. Buster mctunder says, they have put the B chainsaw on RB.
If meele/chainsawing is on RB, that would mean Reload is on B.

I haven’t heard that anywhere but in this thread.

EDIT: OK I read now, that he was joking. Oof, what a relief. I was already scared. :smiley:

Chainsaw is holding RB. Melee is B. Reload is pressing RB.

#38

What??? Why???
Why did they change that? That’s such a weird change.
