You just read my mind. I've been copying your classes from your videos but this video is even better! Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it!

[@Y2KBALENCI]

With cards and stats like that thats pure mastery of the game right there

[@iiComment13]

I have 30 days gameplay on Gears 5 and today I learned new stuff on classes - Especially Tact, thanks :)

[@CommanderCH]

Considering the recent event(s), I refuse to create any further Gears content for the time-being including the Escape card setups.

[@ThePizza3d]

What recent event(s)?

[@grandmasterbruce]

Maybe he means that the fact they are not making more content perhaps?

[@alexsansoneyt2623]

Most of the setups here I use and I thought I was thee only until now lol but very good vid and explaining and detailing all the cards on each class which helped me to understand some of the cards lol but great stuff plus veteran isn't the strongest class is the architect just to clear that up lmao 😂😂😂😂

[@CommanderCH]

Thank you for correcting me, you're of course absolutely right that Architect is the one and only class. :)

[@alexsansoneyt2623]

Lol we all know that class isn't all that but what you think is strongest? me personally I think it is Pilot OR Infiltrator and one more thing is everything ok bc u haven't uploaded me and my friend minty really look ur content so I'm wondering when are you coming back?

[@christopherriggens8478]

Hopefully you see this, great content man. Need that escape class video asap though haha

[@elijahspeller6796]

I've come across a small glitch I guess you could say.... if you enjoy using the lancer... then you can kind of be your own weapons locker if you have a class that resupplies its own ammo... example... like with the brawler... You can carry two lancers... the lancer you spawn with is the mk3 version... if you drop your Gnasher... you can pick up the lancer that the cyclops/therons carry.. That's the mk2 version... and once you perk up your ammo regen to like level 4-5... you can refill one while using the other... works great for a ranged brawler build...or a veteran... if that's your thing.... although it gets a bit weird picking up ammo boxes... sometimes it will give ammo for both... sometimes ammo for only one

[@johnscott-ul7rq]

I have noticed that if you are standing 5 meters from an ally, good kill will drop ammo next to a dead enemy. Can you explain your comment about the gl and the tactician? If you rapid fire your gl on a boss it melts, because of the buff it provides to you bleeding damage.

[@CommanderCH]

Hmm, good point about Good Kill, that may be it. About Tac GL spamming, basically I see them doing that on any wave they have the Ultimate ready. If it were on bosses I wouldn't complain but doing during a normal wave I've seen them all missing like shits. And the sound and screen shaking aren't helping other players to hit their targets.

[@KkKk-ci9ih]

Awesome video :)

[@gnperdue]

Wait - for using the Demolitionist Ult on bosses only - are the artillery shells divided between all the targets? I thought each target you marked was additive, and you just got more total shells that way…

[@CommanderCH]

No but the bleed will be more than enough to recharge the Ultimate and use it again. If you mark multiple targets, there's a high chance the first Artillery drops on the boss. Meaning the 5 bleed ticks start already on the boss and by the time the Ultimate is done dropping Artilleries, the bleed is over and you wont recharge your Ultimate quickly. Hence why you only want to drop it onto the boss to benefit from the bleed to recharge your Ultimate.

[@gnperdue]

@@CommanderCH ah, interesting, thanks.

[@gnperdue]

You mentioned Dropshots against Swarmaks in your Anchor discussion. What do you go for there? I am terrible with Dropshots, LOL

[@CommanderCH]

That's just to pop the back-blisters. Basically you can try to get a few headshot kills first which will also ramp up your Dropshot damage for a short period of time. Then shoot over the Swarmak and try to land it on its back-blisters.

[@gixerek1184]

Great job, nice menu for navigation through such long video. I was looking for such explanation from coalition. They really miss this help. Do you have your recommended perks list file ? could you add this to description ?

[@CommanderCH]

Recommended perks? You mean which ones are useful on which classes?

[@Bos_roseus]

Good video ! Do you know if the mechanics skill cards do stack with the robotics expert ones (for the lockers and the sentry) ?

[@CommanderCH]

For similar cards, TC explained that only the one with the greater benefit takes effect. An example was made for precisely the two locker cards from Mechanic and RE in which case only the one from RE will take effect. This hasn't really been proven to my knowledge but it's how TC described it (TC is known for saying things that are untrue).

[@Bos_roseus]

@@CommanderCH Ok thank you very much ! So i will need to test it.

[@Adsta_]

@@Bos_roseus Yes, mechanic's cards can stack/synergise with Robotic Experts' & vice-versa. In your example, if the Mechanic builds a weapon locker with Overclocked Locker equipped + a Robotic's Expert in the match has Global Overclock - they will stack... but from only 1 of the Robotic Experts (and they have to be in the match. Leaving will lose that benefit). From my quick testing earlier this year, my weapons were refilling ~115% faster. Fortification cards that are global don't stack on-top of another with the same card, but will apply to their specific, or all fortifications where applicable... even if you join late/rejoin... but will lose the benefit when they leave. Cards that are global include: Mechanic's - Armor Plating - Overload* - Shredder Rounds** Robotic Expert's - Global Sentry Upgrade - Global Overclock Architect's - Top of the Line* * Overload & Top of the Line don't stack on-top of each other too, but still applies to all fortifications that deal damage (Barriers, Sentries & Mechanic's Turret). ** Shredder Rounds surprisingly stacks with all Mechanic's Turrets. If all Mechanics have Shredder Rounds on, and say all deal 30% bleed, your turret will deal 150% bleed of the turret's base damage... chuck on Custom Robotics & Personal Defense and that's up to 540% bleed.

[@Bos_roseus]

@@Adsta_ Thank you a lot for your exhaustive answer ! It's very interresting ! By the way, as a mechanics, i thought that my cards would benefit to every one's purchase, but it seems that when somebody else buy a barrier for exemple, it doesn't have the life bonus from the reinforced fabrication card. So i imagine it's the same for the other cards ? An engineer has to buy it for the bonus?

[@PROPHYZ]

still so many pointless cards, is it rly soooo hard to change some of them out ? Anyway massive video, you're the man. For the COG !

[@CommanderCH]

These are the cards that I use with which I had most success with. Occasionally depending on what you want to do, some of the "more useless" cards such as Enforcer Porting of Robotics Expert can still come in handy. I used that card specifically for the solo run on The Hunters for instance.

[@PROPHYZ]

@@CommanderCH talking about stuff like parting gift, why the hell devs not replace such cards completely. I don't mean your setup at all.

[@locomojoboy2]

What is the fastest way to gain class xp? Can you gain class xp from playing custom online horde lobbies, or can you only get them from daily horde/escape challenges? Which gives more?

[@CommanderCH]

You get class XP whenever you complete an Escape hive or Horde. So probably The Surge speedruns are still most efficient or doing some Jingle Juvies speedruns.

[@locomojoboy2]

@@CommanderCH so we CAN gain cxp from playing private horde/escape games? Which earns more cxp? Private or public games?

[@masterofgaming433]

Thanks for this video, unfortunately, you cannot finish off the matriarch using the bleeding damage, a bug for sure...

[@CommanderCH]

I thought they implemented this on purpose somewhen in the past didn't they?

[@masterofgaming433]

@@CommanderCH Well, i do think, actually, that it's just a bug among others, why is the matriarch the only boss not dying from bleeding damage ? It's nonsense...

[@CommanderCH]

@@masterofgaming433 *Fuckatuu pokes around the corner*

[@masterofgaming433]

@@CommanderCH Lol, i forgot about that shithead :p

[@CommanderCH]

@@masterofgaming433 I mean technically it does die from bleed but only in air but this thing just has other flaws.

Wait, why shouldn't I spam the gl during tactician's ultimate?
