In Gears 5 Operation 3 gibt es nicht nur zahlreiche neue Inhalte, sondern umfangreiche Patches.

Horde-Frenzy verpackt die Action in 12 intensive Wellen. Horde Frenzy wurde erst vor wenigen Wochen veröffentlicht und ist eine 30-minütige Version von Horde, mit der ihr euren Lieblingsmodus spielen könnt. Mit Operation 3 sind alle Karten in Horde Frenzy spielbar. The Coalition arbeitet daran, Horde Frenzy so bald wie möglich auch in die Custom Lobbys zu bringen.

The Coalition gibt bekannt, dass man im Horde-Modus einiges am Balancing ändern wird:

„Seit dem Start haben wir uns auf der Grundlage Ihres Feedbacks und unserer Erfahrungen als Spieler ein Bild von der Zukunft der Horde gemacht. Unser Ziel mit diesen Änderungen ist einfach – den Spaßfaktor zu erhöhen, wie wir bereits erwähnt haben, und einige der Reibungspunkte in der Horde zu reduzieren und das Balancing mit meist Buffs für die Spieler, anstatt mit Nerfs zu lösen.“

Das Horde-Tuning ist extrem umfangreich und bezieht sich auf Waffen, Maps, Extras und vieles mehr.

Gears 5 – Operation 3 – Horde Patch-Notes

Horde Tuning

  • Reduced Ammo Case respawn time in Horde from 120s to 90s
  • Jack can now carry ammo boxes on all maps. After the ammo box is used, it will respawn at its initial position.
  • Reduced the total price of leveling up a perk to level 10 by approximately 50%. Price curve adjusted to reduce the differences between each level.
  • Players can now use basic gameplay inputs during the end of wave screen in Horde.
  • Removed the “Waiting for other players…” popup during the end of wave screen in Horde.
  • Increased the amount of power gained per player from a Power Tap at each level to 200, 400, 600, 1000. (Was 100, 200, 400, 800)
  • Reduced base health of leeches from 350 to 200.
  • Reduced base health of Sentinels from 12,000 to 10,000.
  • Reduced base health of the Matriarch (Horde) from 65,000 to 55,000.
  • Boss creatures regenerate health 50% slower with Enemy Regeneration mutator activated.
  • Shooting a Guardian or Sentinel’s shield will now delay health regeneration with Enemy Regeneration mutator activated.
  • Reduced the rate Lancer GL grenades are refilled on the Weapons Locker to be consistent with the Boomshot. (15s to 40s per grenade with a Level 4 Weapon Locker)
  • Adjusted the behavior of the Reduce Ability Cooldown perk to change the total cooldown time instead of increasing the cooldown speed.
  • Added music to Horde boss waves.

PVE Weapon Tuning

*Note: There are some Escape specific weapon tuning changes that will be included in our full Update notes. All notes below also apply to Escape.

LANCER

  • Increased max ammo on the Lancer to 420.
  • Increased initial magazines on pickup to 5.
  • Increased amount of magazines on Ammo Case pickup from 2 to 3.
  • Increased bullets on dropped Lancer pickup from 20 to 50.

GNASHER

  • No longer requires a perfect active reload to reload all 6 shots in PVE.

LONGSHOT

  • Reduced Longshot active cooldown time.
  • Increased Longshot bullets on Ammo Case pickup from 3 to 4.

EMBAR

  • Increased ammo on dropped pickup from 2 to 4-6.

Charaktere

BAIRD

  • Doubled the damage of Baird’s DR-1.
  • Increased duration of DR-1 from 20s to 40s.
  • Increased the radius that the DR-1 attracts enemies from 16m to 20m.
  • Increased the max bleed damage on Baird’s Bloody DR-1 card from 40% to 100% (Level 5).
  • Removed the short range requirement from Baird’s Bloody DR-1 card.
  • Increase radius on Nerves of Steel from 3 meters to 10 meters.

Notes: Baird’s ultimate was a little underwhelming, and it was usually a better idea to continue benefiting from the effects of Bloody Support (bleeding damage when ultimate ready) than to send out the DR-1. Now the DR-1 will provide a burst of damage and protection that is valuable to the team.

MARCUS

  • Marcus’ Custom Lancer card now applies to all Lancer variants.
  • Increased the max damage resistance on Marcus’ Dug In card from 30% to 50% (Level 5).

KEEGAN

  • Increased the damage resistance of Resupply Healing Module from 30% to 60% (Level 5).

Notes: Healing Module could create some awesome moments, but the strength of the card wasn’t in the right place. This change should now offer Keegan the potential to save the team in chaotic situations.

MAC

  • Decreased cooldown of Barrier from 400s to 300s.
  • Increased default duration of Barrier from 10s to 15s.
  • Decreased damage delay on Mac’s Lethal Barrier card from 0.3s to 0.1s.

Notes: Mac doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to use his shield, so the precious time he has with it was usually better spent protecting himself while using Bloody Shot. Mac should now feel more comfortable using it in a wider variety of situations, because he’ll get to use it more often.

Reducing the delay on Lethal Barrier prevents quick enemies like Juvies and Leeches from slipping through the shield without taking damage. This also increases the DPS of the card, making it a more viable option.

FAHZ

  • Removed “During Ultimate” requirement on Explosive Critical Hit.
  • Changed the behavior of Icy Precision. Now applies 10% (Level 1) to 17% (Level 5) ice damage per active weakspot hit with precision weapons.

Notes: Fahz already had an initial round of buffs, but we wanted to push a little further.

Explosive Critical Hit is already difficult to use, because Fahz needs to time his kill when two enemies are very close together. Needing to also time this with his Ultimate was making this card difficult to get value out of.

We’ve completely changed the behavior of Icy Precision, because we felt the value in the previous iteration just wasn’t where it needed to be. The new version should make Fahz a formidable boss killer, and an especially strong counter to the Matriarch.

JD

  • Swap JD’s loadout Lancer GL for the Boomshot. JD can still purchase the Lancer GL from the fabricator.
  • Increased radius on JD’s Daddy’s Boy card from 2 meters to 10 meters.

Notes: JD is very strong in the meta right now, but we know that players are having a lot of fun playing as him. So instead of nerfing the damage, we’ve added a bit of a ramp-up to when JD can achieve his highest damage potential.

DEL

  • Increased radius on Del’s Best Friends card from 2 meters to 10 meters.

LIZZIE

  • Changed Lizzie’s passive to the default tank passive (Take Damage to Charge Ultimate)
  • Increase ultimate multiplier from damage for Lizzie’s Silverback Salvo card from x0.00035 to x0.0008 (1.2s per hit) (Level 5).
  • Updated the text on Lizzie’s Silverback Salvo card to be more clear.
  • Increased the total ammo on Lizzie’s Silverback Buzzkill from 20 to 50.
  • Increased the firing time until overheat on Lizzie’s Silverback Cryo Cannon from 5 to 8.
  • Allow Lizzie to purchase the Dropshot from the fabricator.

Notes: We feel like Lizzie is in a pretty good place, but there wasn’t a lot of room to play with different weapon combinations because the Trishot and Mulcher were usually the best option. We’ve bumped up the other weapons to make them more effective.

KAIT

  • Kait’s Laceration card now calculates bleed damage per pellet.
  • Removed “Enemy must be bleeding” requirement on Kait’s Blood Drain card. Renamed card to Chain.

Notes: Although some players had found ways to use Blood Drain effectively (and we applaud you) we felt that it wasn’t particularly intuitive to play. The extra ultimate time Kait can now achieve should help give a little more time to return to safety before the Cloak expires.

We’ve resolved a bug where a single pellet would deal the bleeding damage of a full spread when using Laceration. The amount of bleed damage is now based on the amount of pellets hit, but the maximum damage potential is unchanged.

COG GEAR

  • Removed Snub Pistol requirement and increased radius on COG Gear’s Helpful Headshots card from 5 meters to 10 meters. No longer requires nearby teammates for COG Gear to gain stim.
  • Edited the description of Custom Lancer to clarify that it applies to all Lancer variants.

Notes: Helpful Headshots is a cool card in theory, but it was difficult to get consistent value out of it. These changes will help COG Gear keep the team alive longer and fulfill the medic role a little better.

JACK

  • Reduced the max multiplier on Jack’s Optimizer card from 3 to 2.5 (Level 5).

Notes: This change is paired with the increase in power gained from Power Taps.

Jack is clearly the best option when it comes to the amount of power he can generate. This change should take some of the pressure off of Jack to collect all of the power the team needs, and encourage a more well-rounded strategy.

Weiter geht es mit Änderungen im Versus-Bereich von Gears 5.
