Retro lancer charge bar

Noticed today that the ammo bar goes red when I start a retro charge & steadily goes down until the retro charge time runs out.

Just wondering how long has this been in place for?

I feel it’s been there since Gears 4 if I can even remember that far back anymore.

Really???

I’ve retro’d pretty regularly in both games & never noticed it before :thinking:.

Must be getting old :joy:

Actually since Gears 3 if I remember correctly

It’s been like that since Gears 3 and when it turns red it means you’re in the kill range. But in Gears 5 in all modes you can kill at almost pointblank range when you start to charge compared to Gears 3-4 where you have to move about 5 meters to be able to kill someone.

Since Gears 3, but it was a lot more functional back then.
