I started the game with 1,200 more scrap than I had yesterday, but I'm not able to craft banners. Am I doing something wrong? I want to craft one of those pride flags.

Gears 5 |OT| "That's FIVE, motherfuckers!"

Most of these maps are pretty terrible, and I wish they'd lower the respawn time on picks ups so people would move around the map more. There just seems to be a lot less blind spots on the map, and you end up getting crossed up more without barely moving an inch. The respawn swap doesn't seem to work that well either right now.

I hope "achievements" includes Steam achievements. I'm going to be miffed if I have to restart 2-4.
you need Iron to craft banners. Scrap is for upgrading Horde/Escape cards
My game started oddly. Saw the startup box in windows, but then it vanished for a good 30 seconds, then popped back up and the game actually started. But, then I got this screen. Everything seems to be working fine still.
Weird shit.
I was able to craft it with scrap just a minute ago. I guess it was a server issue.
...good. If you don't like that then you don't like Gears multiplayer. It's been like that since 2005 and I hope it doesn't change. There's no other game like this and the last thing I want is for it to be like other shooters.
I like a few of them. Bunker and Training Grounds have a good flow and plenty yof opportunity to rout campers. I don't have any problems with the Lancers there, either; if I get killed by one it's because I was being a dumbass trying to go for an unreasonably large flank. District is serviceable even though the central walkway between the sides is a bit of a meat grinder.
Now if only I would stop getting pulled into US servers with 200 ping.
Is anyone getting a bug in Horde while playing Jack? After I use my Ult, my weapon doesn't do any damage, it just stuns. It doesn't build up heat, either, and no electricity animation. Only time it's fixed itself was after a wipe.
Googling for Gears 5 bugs was about as helpful as you'd think.

The multiplayer is all sorts of fucked. Matchmaking just gives me sweaty as fuck players nonstop and I can't win any matches because my team is sitting there drooling.
People are completely missing their damn shots but it one shots me. Game blows at the moment

I started to fall asleep last play.
Got a little lost with a story beat.
Loaded a previous save to get a little help.

TC are evil with their ring locations in Exhibit and Asylum.
That's just good old fashioned Gears rage. AFK'rs aplenty too, gotta protect that K/D.
I wanna give a shout out to all responsible for the Flock. From the visuals, to their mechanics, down to the gameplay, they are really engaging. The motion blur in this game really helps sell them, and watching the Flock shrink as you destroy it is very satisfying.
What's supposed to happen is they will get 15min bans for the first time any get worse the more they quit. Some gears4 offenders had racked up over 30+ days of bans due to constant quitting.
Another factor that's supposed to take place is quitters will be matched with other quitters.
Insane Solo Campaign finished. What. A. Wild. Ride!
The game kept getting better and better, each encounter, each set piece, each story beat somehow managed to top whatever bar it set right before it. I simply loved every minute of it. I want to rave more, but now I must sleep.

The problem is people quit during the lobby screen when they see their team has noobs and the matchmaking restarts.
Started playing JD in Horde and while I enjoy him, I think it's dumb that his passive gives him ammo drops every sixth headshot and his Lancer GL seemingly can't pop heads. Even when landing consistent crits I just seem to down Swarm.
Just completed a 50 round of Horde on Advanced with proper teamwork and damn it was easy. Felt good too. Bring on Elite.
Do the same, but the spine literally changes direction mid-flight to hit me.
what difficulty are you on? the second i made that post i wondered if it was something they made harder to avoid on higher difficulties
Experienced, I think? Who knows why they renamed them!
Someone else mentioned cloak, so I'll try that. I had JACK set to Stim (which seems the most useful in most circumstances) and was reluctant to change it.
I had that. One positive is that you can stun the enemy forever with that bug.
Headshot the downed enemy?
The energy system needs a complete rebalance. It's only working when all people exactly know how to play, transfer money / energy and work perfectly as a team. Del is really hard, maybe even more than in Gears 4, if people don't know how to play / handle energy.
And the individual level up perks in a match are quite useless after 1-2 upgrades because the benefit is so low. You can invest 10-20K in 6-12% more damage or health, but the health / damage of the enemies rises by 100% / 150% after the boss wave(s).

Hello!
That Matriarch boss fight is some bullshit. Quantum Break final boss levels of bullshit.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

I've noticed that they tend to turn away from you when they go down, which makes it a pain. You can get the headshots on enemies that can't go down though, like Scions. Or just by using another weapon. But sucks that his primary loadout gun isn't the most efficient way to trigger his passive ability.
I'm not sure about Horde, but I've been playing a lot of Emile in Escape (the new PvE mode). I am loving him so far.
Use the 2$ promotion for GamePass Ultimate to try it out maybe?
Is anyone else experiencing insane hit detection issues? A lot of damage just drops off for seemingly no reason and it's frustrating for me and my friends. It was perfect before the full launch.
The one in Act 2 (well, I guess that's the only on)? Felt so outdated. And even on normal it takes a while to kill the thing.The fight is not hard, but getting killed by a single attack near the end and have to start over makes this fight really tedious.
That's what i'm doing right now. Kind of waiting to see how the mode shakes out before comitting.
Weird. I've only played the game on Experienced but I've definitely dodge-rolled the incoming spike, but I couldn't do it just as she threw it. I could only get the dodge just barely after she let loose with it.
Most of the time I would try to hide behind a column, or better yet the other side of the arena when possible in case she was
doing to multi-spike throwing number.
Most of the time when I fight that boss I shoot the ice between the Matriarch and me and try to goad her to charge into the hole I just made

They have fun abilities with a cool skill that simulates the Halo shield, Horde is really great imo so I could see you getting the value from ultimate edition. Though you should probably see if you like Horde first
Agreed! Im sure they're onto a fix after they sort out all the tech issues.
Kat can build just like Del.
Everyone else can build a combination of 2 buildings(excluding forge and weapons locker from what I've seen).
Personally I wish perks were more viable and could compete with turrets and the like.
Yep, exactly that one. Probably not helped by the fact I'm playing solo and Del is utterly useless.
I'm not sure what your hoping to achieve with that pipe there Del....Situation seems to call for something a bit more shooty-bang-bang.

Just need to start building Turrets like only he and Kat can and then you're golden.
