Gears 5 Master Solo Escape - The Hive Past Hive [Combat Medic]

Wow. That ending! How did you stay up? I also use the tournament controller configuration. Always wanted to ask you your opinion of it in PVP, because you do tend to roll a bit.

If you look at the very beginning of the video, I have shown that I have lvl 5 Perfect Conditioning, lvl6 Overdoing It, lvl 5 Dodge and lvl 5 Razored Edge. This means I have 90% damage reduction from beyond 5m and 60% dmg reduction upclose with uninterrupted health regen. I actually have a video planned about me talking pvp and to not give away everything, I can't play it for hours on end anymore like I used to. i can't play at range because the spread isn't tight from a distance, I can't play up close because of the enormous gib range, and I can't hold my shot because I get so scared of getting gibbed from so far away. I made a video a couple months ago talking about the gib ranges here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ20ZJmKjqyZjqM and also how the ranking system is time based and it still holds true given how the leaderboard system makes being trash seem like a minor inconvenience rather than a determent to getting to the top ranks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3nOanuGmt2be9U

@@GreatDefensor thanks for response. I watched your suggestions, and I believe I watched them before as I watch most of your content. It’s always insightful and informative. My question was more in line with the controller settings. You, like me opt for the tournament configuration. Most of the Gears pros (that you love so much) utilize classic alt-and some stay in default. Your gameplay looks smooth, and I’ve wanted to ask you for a while now your opinions of the Tournament controller settings….especially in PVP, as it is not a common (at least as I can tell…you’re the only other person I know who uses it).

Oh that. Ive been playing on tournament settings since a month after gears 4 came out since it makes wall bouncing so much easier without having to use claw. I always hated claw as it makes my hands very uncomfortable so tournament settings is the one best quality of life change the series has ever made. It was pretty jarring at first given how ive been playing on default since gears 1 beforehand but I got used to it.

@@GreatDefensor true dat. I made the switch as well, though Gears 5 is my first gears game. It’s so much easier, but I still tend to roll a bit in PVP or get stuck on a cover from time to time.
