Well, if people wanna be stuck on a grind for 5+ years, let them. I sure wouldn’t intend to if I was going to try reaching max level in a game.
Me? Got to Wings 5 in Gears 4 and swore off the speedruns completely at some point after reaching Wings 4, got to 5 mostly through ‘regular’ Horde gameplay about 3 months or so before Gears 5 was out.
Current Legend rank is 58 after the objectives.
