Ah, yeah then like Betty said, click in on the right stick and press a direction. Not sure what the keyboard equivalent of that would be.

They made it good and bad.
Bad-locking classes to characters.
Good-some card combos are strait broken and make even master pure cheese. (Kait bleed build maxed is hilarious)
Ive been contemplating whether Guardian should have spawn protection. Its caused me one too many deaths when engaging the leader.
Interesting. Im going to find that setting.
god i don't want to make builds in horde i just want to shoot guys and build stuff
Hooked.
Finished tour of duty already and am at 83% on medals.
xeecee i know how u feel. I still think gears 2 is best horde. No classes at all just take cover and defend.
it might be tied to the Event they mentioned earlier. those Team Ice skins are similar, says Tour of Duty 1 but not yet attainable.
should be a Halloween event soon and I bet they're tied to that.
Huh? The animation is good.
Edit: My bad I thought you said ENEMIES not emotes lol.

Speaking Campaign, I fucking hate the balance of explosives on Experienced and above. Everything kills you in one hit and the AI just makes things worse. Like, I'm at the part with the spinning centrifuge, some grenadier throws a grenade. No warning. I jump to avoid to no avail or I crash into a teammate behind cover. I had to turn it off as I almost woke up the neighbors cursing. Seriously, if you are gonna fing swamp us with grenades and the teammates are gonna do jack, at least make them DBNO you.
How is this game for someone who just played occasionally the first one back in the days?
Can I jump right in? Looking for a "new" game and heared the graphics are good. Also got the game pass.

There's a gearsERA discord server, but I never seen anyone in there and a GearsERA xbox group, but I haven't really been keeping up with that either.
You can try posting an LFG message on them though, and hopefully someone will play with you.
Why I finished on Intermediate. Experienced became too frustrating.
You can add me up if you like, gamertag is under my profile. I'm not a very serious player, more laid back. So don't expect some pro plays in versus.
Gears players play ranked, casuals play quick play. Most xbox users turn off cross play so PC players are screwed on that one. You can only turn it off for ranked matches though. KotH and TDM are the most popular modes. Execution is where the real men play, and wannabe try hards play Escalation but this time I expect it to be dead because of the changes. I haven't even touched it yet. Arcade is a joke.
Bleed in general is hilariously overpowered. You can double the power of Mac's Boltok in Escape with it.
The one thing about this game I find really not okay is the nerfing of active rounds for Gnasher. Hitting a perfect active only has the reward or completely reloading the Gnasher's already smaller clip. Going for a 1v1, trying to take a hill, and chasing after the leader in Guardian lost an important tactical aspect with no active damage boost.
TC, you made Arcade for people who don't want to shotgun. Core modes need the classic Gnasher and a little nerf to the Lancer and they'll play so much better.

I agree 100%. It actually kind of pisses me off that they made Experienced/Hardcore so much harder than past games. If I knew that, I would have played and had much less frustration on Intermediate. I was shocked by the number of 1-shot deaths and punishing enemies. Combined with my braindead AI companions led to the most frustrating moments of the Gears series.
Inconceivable is worse.
Or try to kill it with using a different weapon to pop each of its blisters.
Has anybody experienced an issue where frag grenades occasionally don't beep? I've died so many times because I had no idea one was even thrown. I know that it's usually too late by then anyway, but at least it would make me feel better about being killed by one if I heard it first. I think a grenade indicator would be good in campaign too.
I wouldn't be surprised. It's tucked at the far end of the list, as really isn't great mode.
Yup as a Gears "veteran" I'm shocked to see so many poorly made maps for launch, compared to other games in the series. There is literally no map movement or flow anymore, and the power weapon respawns are too long also, which also keeps teams in place just crossing up with the lancer. I'm actually glad BL 3 is there to play while they sort it out, and rotate more maps in ranked.
I mean I guess it's cool they tried to cater to a hardcore crowd with escalation. But I feel they should've saved that mode for an actual esports event or something. And even then, I can't imagine any serious Gears player picking that over execution.
Should've just put Dodgeball ranked instead of escalation.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I hit a stop in campaign last night. Just got to act 3 chapter 3 and it tells me to go to
but there is no mission marker to follow. I found it any way and it's a place I've been to before. I can go right up to the door and get the press x to open prompt but nothing happens. I just can't progress now.
Anyone else had this issue and find a workaround?
cosmonaut training building

I'm playing through the campaign at the moment, and the one thing I find really weird is the disparity between the quality of the player animations versus the way the NPC sidekicks behave and move. For the character you're playing, everything from busting a lock to picking up a weapon looks phenomenal. Then your AI squadmates come ice-skating in and really mess with the overall impression.
Without spoiling too much... I am in act 2 and I'm wondering if I'll have enough time to
explore the open world... since the the game seems to be progressing me on the critical path pretty quickly...
JD's horde grenade launcher medal seems a bit much. 500 kills with a weapon that will barely get used when ammo is scarce and it stops killing enemies effectively in later waves. None of his skills seem to compliment his launcher either. I'd rater have a skill card for his gl than a boomshot. I think 200-300 kills would be a lot less tiring.
Don't worry. The game will clearly tell you when you reach a point of no return. Really glad they did that as I had the same worries.
I don't think so, I did a full 50 waves and never unequipped the gun but only managed to get about 30 kills for the medal. I think it 's just the 3 grenade shots you have that count.
Pretty much how I feel tbh.
That's harder to monetize, sorry.
You'll reach a point of no return and it will be obvious. You'll be given a choice to keep exploring or progress the story.
I see some folks saying they don't like the maps all that much, whereas I'm loving them way more than 4. The only one I'm not a massive fan of is Bunker, the rest I'm really enjoying. We could use some new maps in rotation though, hopefully soon.
Man I just really hate ranked modes. Just put everyone into a pile and let God sort em out. It's only good for increasing engagement numbers. It means nothing for us. The experience is the exact same. Sometimes I stomp, sometimes they stomp, sometimes we have a good match, same as always. The problem I have is it pulls me in too many different ways. I wanna get medals which makes me play a bunch of different modes but I also wanna rank up which means I can only play one mode but I already have the medal for that mode. I know people like to pretend it's competitive but it's really just a bunch of fake competitive dressing to jack certain kinds of people off. It also makes things more toxic so you get increased engagement from a bunch of spiteful angry nerds but drive away others.
