Gears of War 5 Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • MrBrettBriley Darth Maul Supports Physical (@MrBrettBriley) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the issue where any kills you get when playing with friends are NOT counting towards the Seriously achievement, such a huge misstep and is only going to push more people to boost it vs playing multiplayer. Also while we're here a physical version for Xbox players please

  • TxTSaint Saint (@TxTSaint) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar Its called active reload. It makes the damage much higher. The game has been like this for 20 years. Use the tools the game gives you instead of complaining someone else knows how to but you dont. They dont need to fix ANYTHING.

  • daft_deputy TheDaftDeputy (@daft_deputy) reported

    @Johnny_Zac @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar I am the beast rider locust in this clip, we are all PC players, We are complaining about how broken the gnasher is, this shouldnt have happen, let go of those rose tinted glasses.

  • Junior_Sauce666 AnJunior Sauce (@Junior_Sauce666) reported

  • giltherra75088 Giltherra (@giltherra75088) reported

    @EndymionYT @GearsofWar Yeah then they started nerfing gnasher in the later games too XD but original it was so broken all it took was a split second if pulling the trigger as your getting chainsawed halfway through to cancel it XD

  • RossSlade92 Ross (@RossSlade92) reported

    @GearsofWar please fix the gnasher it’s soo broken what did you guys do to it after the beta? One shot downs are happening wayyy too much!

  • RivalIndigo Rival Indigo (@RivalIndigo) reported

    @GearsofWar Don't let them gaslight you with a couple shiny multiplatform releases. Ending the "console wars" is exactly why we have overpriced, incomplete, broken, unfun games and skyrocketing console and service prices lol. They don't want to fight for your dollar.

  • Tre_llX3 iiiworld/lowerlevel ⛥ (@Tre_llX3) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar the shotgun never one shot downed anyone from 30ft before this broken *** game. all the ****** in the comments who never played gears says otherwise

  • unitedfan1984 me🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@unitedfan1984) reported

    @GearsofWar How about fix the terrible shotgun!! An putting PC players against console players was a massive mistake!! The worst thing tho is the unbalanced lobby's! How can you matchmake level 1s an levels 10s against level 60s an 90s? Sort the lobby's out or the game will die quick!

  • Kloudstatuz Carter (@Kloudstatuz) reported

    @GearsofWar I keep getting disconnected from the server and I’m wired. This been happening since UE and it’s only Gears I have trouble with. Is this a common issue or just me? I wanna grind but it keeps kicking me out and I’m getting penalties

  • RZetsua Zetsua (@RZetsua) reported

    @GearsofWar Revert the gnasher change tho and do a proper fix. I should not be shooting straight nukes at people from Narnia.

  • xPXGx ᑶ𝕏Ǥ (@xPXGx) reported

    @MrMoood @GearsofWar I like not having people from Neptune, lagging their asses off and shitting up lobbies. About damn time I can play Gears 1 with confidence, knowing that the game (mostly) works.

  • JustSomeGamer93 JustSomeGamer (@JustSomeGamer93) reported

    @GearsofWar Too bad the game sucks *** in its current state. Fix the damn shotgun it’s ******* embarrassing and a bad look going into the next big installment to the series.
