So to unlock the characters do I need to complete 50 hoard waves consecutively or can I break it up between a few rounds
You can absolutely break it up.

Gears 5 uses cloud compute to hit 60fps so it might be a bug with the new update.Good to know it's not just me then. I have no idea what happened.
I've played on both the base and X and never encounter that until now. I was playing Escape then went to Versus and when the match started it was capped at 30fps. Didn't go back to 60fps until I quit out and joined a new lobby.
Really odd.
Is it just me or would Escape play a lot better if it had ample ammo but with really hard bosses instead? Kinda like mini Raids.
It's just not that fun right now. I'm always out of ammo. How is that enjoyable?
What were they thinking when they design the online match making for co-op, you can't get rid of players WTF.
I am at the matriarch boss and I've had possibly the worse gears player join my game. They keep shooting the front of the boss, never the back or just keep running around doing nothing. Even though the game tells you to shoot the back and i've told them as well. Not only this, but this person is clearly playing on insane, as they die instantly to any touch.
I can't kick them and I really cba restarting the whole chapter by going to the lobby, since so many chapters in act 2 have been boring walking and talking already.
How can they make a game like this and not let the host kick people. So i'm being trolled by someone now, ruining my game and there's nothing I can do about it. I told the person I am pausing the game until they leave.
Yes I could have played solo, but I have been enjoying playing it in co-op with randomers previously.
looks like progress isn't tracking properly according to reddit/forums
Why do these mouth breathers always bring low level characters to master escape? Your level 1 Keegan is not going to do fucking shit.
they should really have level requirements as you add modifiers to Escape and Horde.Why do these mouth breathers always bring low level characters to master escape? Your level 1 Keegan is not going to do fucking shit.
What is with this matchmaking on Windows? It took 5 minutes to find a game..
Nice attitude to have.
A MESSAGE TO OUR PLAYERS
As part of our continued post-launch support, we are committed to continually improving Gears 5's online experience. We know you have concerns, and we want to improve our transparency around our ongoing development work to address your biggest topics of feedback.
Our Development Team is already hard at work on resolving several priority issues, which we've listed below. We recognize that these issues have significant impact on your Gears 5 experience, and we're prioritizing them by the degree of negative impact they have.
Dealing with the issues below are our top priority – but this list does not include any new features or smaller fixes also in development. As these issues progress, will provide more details – including timing – to keep you informed. Thank you for all of your support and feedback since release.
Our team care deeply about tackling these issues as soon as possible. We'll be keeping you updating you regularly moving forward with any detail we can provide.
SERVICE STABILITY
Priority: Very High
STATUS
- Players may not see earned rewards (in-game content, stars, etc.) in the post match flow. While these rewards are showing up later, we are working to ensure all players see rewards as soon as they are earned.
- Players may be randomly disconnected, resulting in a isrupted game experience and potentially unfounded quit penalties.
Temporary Fix: We have temporarily removed the 15 & 30 minute 'timeout' penalties to ensure non-quitters aren't as punished by disconnects. However, Ranked Completion Ratings (RCR) are still active so serial quitters will still receive escalating suspensions.
Permanent fix: Under investigation
RANKING POINTS NOT AWARDED CORRECTLY
Priority: Very High
STATUS
- Post-match tier skill points are not working as intended.
- They are inaccurate, inconsistent and not representative of a player's individual performance.
- The net result of this is players are seeing potentially dramatic and wrong rank increases and/or decreases.
- Some players are not being placed in the correct rank upon completion of their placement matches.
- We are also aware of players getting 'stuck' in Silver and having harder than expected time to increase their rank until getting out.
We have identified the issue and have a permanent fix in progress – we are currently working on the implementation. Once we are sure it is fixed, we will communicate the timeline for a rank reset.
Note: Providing an accurate, reliable and enjoyable Ranking system is paramount to us at The Coalition; so, in conjunction with the next Title Update, we MAY turn off the showing individual post match results while we work on a fix.
This will allow us to keep gathering data on Ranked to resolve the problem, which is essential to our ability to make improvements. Skilled based matchmaking will remain in place and is working well. We will provide more details soon, including notification prior to making this change.
MATCHMAKING QUALITY
Priority: High
STATUS
- Matches in select regions can have higher than acceptable pings.
- Wait times can be unusually long in some regions
A potential cause has been identified and solutions to improve the situation are in progress.
VERSUS GAMEPLAY TUNING
Priority: High
STATUS
- We are investigating further weapon balance tuning in Versus
- Our current focus is on the Lancer, Breaker, Markza and Melee.
We are monitoring both feedback and in-game data in response to our latest Markza tuning.
In addition, we have a new iteration of Lancer tuning based on feedback since launch that we expect to release in the near future. We are also actively investigating and testing other tuning changes based on your feedback, including looking at the Melee and Breaker.
IN-GAME NETWORK CORRECTIONS
Priority: Medium
STATUS
- Players experiencing occasional lag and/or teleporting mid-match
Investigation ongoing
CAMPAIGN PROGRESSION CATCHUP
Priority: Medium
STATUS
- Some players are still missing Campaign progress following our rollout to resolve the issue
Our team have a lead on the cause and are working to resolve this as soon as possible. We have gathered a significant number of gamertags which has helped us zero in on a solution. We hope to have an update on a resolution in the near future.
Took them only 2 months ...

Been playing the online a bit, it feels damn good to play Gears again after not playing since the third game. I played hundreds of hours of Gears 1 and 2.
I used to be really fucking good but now I'm pretty shit, however, I'm still decent enough where I do well in most matches on quick play. I find quick play to be kinda annoying in Gears 5 since a ton of matches end up with a good chunk of bots and I'm not good enough yet to play ranked. Wish there was an option to remove bots and only start games with just people.
Played through the campaign over the weekend. That was flipping fantastic. Such high production values. Characters were all so well done and performed. The set pieces where gorgeous and intense. Even the pacing in the open world was on point.
Now it is going to be a long wait until the next one. :) I have a feeling that after Gears 6 or whatever the game is going to be called, the studio might branch out to do something else. Feels like the current story arch is coming to a conclusion.
I feel like even social is sweat fest now. Or maybe I should git gud.
From what people have told me not many are opting in to the cross-play player pool. So when your getting online your playing mostly PC players only. XBox players dont have the problem we are having because the player pool is way larger.
Yeah I'm actually surprised at how bad arcade has become. I played it the other day and I was like "why is this mode filled with tryhards?"
Even the Halloween event is nothing but a wall-bouncing gnasherfest. I mean I can keep up no problem, but I wish I didn't have to go hardcore even on the fun game modes.
Save that shit for ranked.
But I thought cross play was opt out, not opt in?
No they didPumpkinball sure is fun. It's a fantastic push and pull and getting back from a near-defeat feels awesome.
For the Terminator skins, do they use the real voice actors? My guess is not?

The horde mode lasts till October 29thNeat! How long does that Terminator Dark Fate event last until?
Not to mention it's borderline impossible if you don't have ba crew to do horde because everyone quits by wave 25 if your really fucking lucky
I hate the unlock system in this game.
I fucking hate it.
It's obtuse and drawn out on purpose to make people pay 5 bucks for a skin.
Fuck this game, also tour of duty is such a fucking waste of time. Also triple fuck the new unlock loops for raam and a helmets cog. You fucking kidding me.
10+ hours to unlock 1 skin.
