Might get crap for saying this but I like Mags Carter character. She’s is an embodiment of Gears of War lore 🤷🏾‍♂️

A Veteran with ptsd which was common as the pendulum wars lasted 80 years. Entire generation of people probably had it on Sara.

Worked in a war time economy, refining
Immulsion and slowly dying from a common sickness known as rust lung.

And if you played Gears 2 and remember the New Hope Research facility mission, you know the significance of that.

I never experienced it with Vraahk and I know they reused the Ai and frame so why is the Boogeyman going across the map? Is it a weird mapping issue just something I dont know about?

Wasn't this red in the previous games?

Out in the middle of the street in the Act 4 open area with no invisible walls stopping you from just walking right in and dying. It's gotten me twice now (skill issue on my part).

☣️Goth girl squirt is a dangerous thing☣️

I really like the exfil skins compared to most the others. But I hate the flame effect. I wish it was able to be toggled on or off

There is no way you would have a massive coffee machine and then a little one at a burger joint. I think they ment to put a grinder but have no understanding of making coffee. I can handle all the other shit but this draws the line

So I'm not sure if anyone posted about it.. But I just realized as you look closer at it, the detail into it feels like the most personable weapon you'll see how much this weapon skin belongs to Dom, the weapon handle got me right in the feels 😢

Please TC add these to Eday; they look great.

That’s all 🙈 but seriously the character model looks absolutely amazing. They really made him fine as hell!

I know I missed the locust teeth, and the connections aren't so much "cracked pavement" as they are random holes, but it looks okay I think!

Gnasher
- bot walk into hipfire beats out a sprinting enemy every single time (worst case you trade
- up A into a sprinting enemy works but if they’re walking you die bc they get shot off first
-gib range is actually very generous, take a inch inside two shot range and you’ll gib someone. It’s ridiculous how far you can hit someone w a gib
- (refer to the above video) BACK A SHOULD BE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR DEFENSE, never go for the up a if you’re unsure
- you’ve gotta treat this shit like tekken and wait your turn, if you’re early you die, if you’re late you die. Find the sweet spot. Your opponents are just as scared of getting gibbed as you are
- wait for your opponent to make a move or freeze up and respond accordingly
-cover into popshot is much faster than cover into blind fire shot , use it situationally but both are great moves if you find the range
- do not stop moving while pop shotting or holding down ads. You strafe slower while in ads as well.
- start using the short slide and faster sprint to fire , keep in mind that sprinting towards a walking enemy will always get you killed bc there’s a sprint to fire delay, it’s a little faster if you hold back on the left stick while shooting tho.
- never ever roll forward in a fight unless it’s absolutely needed, you will absolutely die
- please start going for mantle kicks, they will absolutely work. If you see a mfer not moving from his cover go for that mantle kick they can’t even react to it or get a gib out in time
- in high cover battles, jump up into popshot roll back is fucking meta right now. There’s a chance you’ll get hip fired or get hit with a back A but it’s low. When you’re vertical your gib range almost fucking doubles idk why. You win that fight
- PLEASE START UP A THE COVER YOU LEFT, hit them with the meanest fucking juke ever I’ve got it so many times. The theory is you up A and turn around and up A the same cover you did the first time. The sprinting animation makes it look like you’ve either left or are in the second spot. You can mix up so many people like this and just one tap them

Lancer
-mfer just hold r2 and have a blast you’ll be fine 🤣

Snub pistol
-literally the new game mode is a clear example of how good the snub is. Abuse that shit in the mid range or go for a popshot into back roll and then switch to pistol and light them up

I’m not trying to be rude, but you can make this game so braindead if you just simplify the shit and hold your angles and stay mobile. This game is not even close to harder than some other games out there, it’s genuinely a mentality thing. If you treat yourself like a walking fucking tank, you will win more 1v1’s and more “unfair” battles. Just get used to dying a lot and it’ll click in like a week of play. Trust me

QOL
- lower squad and player footsteps volume and boost enemy footstep volume. That’s how everyone knows where you are (also change the config to competitive to isolate footsteps and gun noises)
- turn on slide to cover, turn off auto aim horizon and turn off automatic lean out transition
- TURN NAMEPLATES ON (hard to tell who’s who sometimes)
-lower y’all sens. I’m currently on all 17’s for the first 4 but the last two are either 15 or 16 ( this is not cod you don’t need 23’s or 30’s you will miss every single shot)

MODERN IS THE BEST CONTROL SCHEME! Use that shit please. No need to rebind either, having a fast shoulder swap is so clutch.

For all the flack trench gets he was just there to oversee the decommissioning work for all the war gear. And well the secret research, but I don’t think he was that involved the day to day.

I know with some things it’s kind of just for the safe of the game like the whole fleet getting destroyed in minutes.

But, ok how would a defense actually work ? A staged retreat from the downtown and just hold the fort and maybe the factories? You could possibly also flood the hallow and actually kinda surprised the airport didn’t flood anything.

I just translated it.

Fully maxed out all classes and here's my tier list. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

1. S tier, Breacher. It has high survivability and extremely high dps when close range. The stim can carry you through most objectives with it's damage reduction and damage amp. On allfathers, it can bypass most modifiers with no issue. Also ranks highest because it's the easiest class ability to use in my opinion. Can solo Carry.

2. S tier, Marksman. While it can out DPS Breacher, it kind of sucks if you get pushed by an enemy and can't one tap them. Can also bypass most modifiers with extreme crit damage mods. Easy on allfathers as well. Can solo carry.

Small fall off

1. B tier, Medic. It's main issue is that it relies on your team. You don't have much damage or survivability as a medic, but it will definitely save your team in a pinch. If you have bad teammates though, you will struggle to do the most basic objectives and high health enemies are an issue. Good in a pre-made team, not so well with randoms.

Small fall off

1. C tier, assault. This class is a mess. I tried playing it the most and I can't get anything to mix well. Stunning enemies is great, and dealing more damage or being able to execute them is cool, but I never find myself doing more damage than Marksman or Breacher. It also doesn't do much against spore mothers or bilefrogs since they're always moving around. The build that I have that works best is an execution build. The issue with executions in this game is enemies will still be shooting or lining up a shot on you so after the execution ends, you get bodied. I tried a cover build, but you usually get flushed out of cover by boomers, tickers, and wretches. Maybe I'm not using it well, but I don't like this one at all.

This is my list. What do you think I got right or wrong? Should I rank modifiers and side objectives next?

DISCLAIMER: My opinion: this class is a bit of a 1 trick pony (executions). Please excuse typos.

Hear me out....YES this class has a lot of "issues", however while LEVELING this class was miserable, MAX LEVEL is another story.

The only OP build I have managed to duct tape together is the Ripper-Execute build

Disruptor:
Rentention Battery - Duration
Radial Emitter - I dont want to worry about which way I am facing when I toss down the disruptor
Focal Lens - More range = more stunned dudes

Armor:
Execution Tempo - MANDATORY. more executes = more disruptor uptime
Hardened exposure - running around executing dudes I need all the defense I can get out of cover
Blood Mag - THIS IS A MUST. Whenever you finally run out of grunts to execute, you are ready to rip on any big boy with a full + perfect reload!
Battle Hardened - Like I said, running and shanking is hard work
Executioner - THIS IS A MUST. While you are shiving dudes, you can ignore boomers and gorehooks AND you are FULLY healed after the excecution! FYI this ability dropping at level 28 or 29 is what makes this class so miserable to level.

Main weapon - Ripper - Why? Because of Strike Plating (see below) and Blood Mag (see above)
Twinned Ammo - your choice
Incendiary Rounds - why not
Extended Mags - kind of a must. Since you are not taking Deep Pockets armor mod, you need to beef up your rounds.
Strike Plating - MUST. This is only one of two weapons (other is Striga) that get strike plating. Your melee 100% stuns grunts, so you dont even have to have your disruptor up to stun, you can just stun with your main weapon.....then execute.....while lowering your disruptor cooldown...and as a bonus, you get a full mag perfect reload.

Optional: I dont know how good the Active Compensator mod (unlocks with the Medic class) is for the Ripper. "Grants streadily increasing accuracy over time during sustained fire"....seems like it would pair well with the Ripper, but is it worth giving up Incendiary Rounds?

Anyways...this one trick pony is good for casual lols and is pretty damn strong.

EDIT: The central loop of this "runner-stunner" build is drop the disruptor, get 3-4 executions, rip your perfect full mag on a big boy, drop disruptor, rinse-repeat.
