Gears 5 PVE-Best Card Set-ups for Horde and Escape: Demolitions

[@CommanderCH]

Horde: Demo has lots of different options when it comes to Horde. I guess if you trust your randoms to deploy a locker for you, the best is just to go completely on Ult/Boom build in which case Confirmed Kill (only works with the Ultimate, not the GL) and Spotter Support (combined with Razor Hail, Custom Boomshot and Officer's Prerogative) are superior to anything else, especially if already one other person marks an enemy every now and then in which case Spotter Support bugs out and buffs your Confirmed Kill chance because of the Ultimate dropping on same enemies more than once. Confirmed Kill has a small chance to insta-refill your Ultimate and usually a 100% chance to refill it by 50% when your Cooldown Perk is maxed out. Custom Lancer GL in that circumstance isn't really helpful since you'll be raining down your Ultimate at least every other wave and can just use the Boomshot to bypass the time until your Ultimate returns. When running the Bullet Boost setup, you really don't need Confirmed Kill and better go with Good Kill instead (Razor Hail, Custom Boomshot, Customer Lancer GL, Bullet Boost and Good Kill). Good Kill is absolutely nuts with ammo and it'll help your Bullet Boost to basically not having to swap weapons constantly. You might not even need a locker if you play well. Bullet Boost is nuts regarding bleed... Good Kill ammo crates grant more ammo than an ammo box from the map. . And then there's the third option by using some kind of grenade build that I never used so I'll not mention it here since I can't judge it. Escape: Whenever I play with Demo in Escape (if it's not a solo), Good Kill is a must-have card to use since those ammo crates bypass the Ammo Starvation modifier (unless they fixed it?). You'll be swimming in ammo when you get a hold of a few explosives. The other cards are obviously map depended but there's usually some explosive weapon around so Razor Hail is never a bad choice. Grenade Satchel neither since there's usually more than 1 grenade of the same type on the map (not to mention every explosive crate grants a grenade) so regardless of explosives around, Grenade Satchel is really good just because of having multiple flashbangs. Then after that it depends on whether a Boom/GL is available and use those two cards or otherwise go with Concussive Strike and Bullet Boost. Concussive Strike is crazy for stunning. It feels like the stun never ends. And if you have nothing good to chose from anymore (like on Melee Brawl), just use Lancer GL Mastery which will reduce the recoil of ALL weapons for you. ;) Worth mentioning, if reflective shell enemies are around, you can still apply bleed to them but you'll have to make sure not to hold a ballistic weapon (like the Lancer GL) is in your hands once reflective shell is activated since the default reflective shell (as described at Gunner) only reflects ballistics, not projectiles. Meaning if you apply the bleed with the Boomshot for instance, you won't receive the bleed damage from reflective shell. Just my 50 cents lol. Generally neat setups though. Agree with them and their specific examples. Just a bit solo-oriented. :)

Escape build is the most random of these 2 modes

[@turnerburner922]

For demo it varies so much but for a class like lahni it’s basically the same thing.lol

[@HENRIQUELONNROT]

@@turnerburner922 Oh yeah Thrill, Venom Blade, Venom Resistance all the time lol But hives like Ice Queen or The End I still run Shock Chain, for whatever reason (lazy perhaps?).

[@turnerburner922]

@@HENRIQUELONNROT I pretty much use shock chain all the time and short range all the time. Only difference is the line I might use something different than short range.

when playing with a tactician, and he is playing with interrogation it is much better to use kill confimed, but if this is not the case it is better to use custom lg lancer or officer prerogative currently the lg is very nerfed for normal hordes, two rockets are very few, I prefer to kill the bosses with boomer and ultimate, and always have some lgs in reserve in case my ultimate fails with the matriarch Good video 👍🏻 I hope one day to meet you in a lobby

[@HENRIQUELONNROT]

GL isn't nerfed for normal horde

[@turnerburner922]

@@HENRIQUELONNROT I assumed he meant from 6 shots to 3 shots. And he said “2 rockets”. 🤷

[@hennessy7087]

@@HENRIQUELONNROT Yes, they are, most of the mundial demolition tops agree with that, before the lg was the meta, but with so much nerf and counting that the lockers only regenerate 2 rockets, it is useless. Even knowing how to use ultimate and boomers you can instantly kill bosses. I am not saying that the lg is so bad, only that in these operations the meta is definitely the boomer and the ultimate

[@turnerburner922]

And in response to the first part of the comment-did you watch the video because I already mentioned using the interrogation method with tactician….your not really adding anything.

@@hennessy7087 when I play demolitions from a locker I have no problem getting 3 rockets either. The GL/Boomshot are both ridiculous so I literally have no idea what you are talking about. Demolitions in the context of horde doesn’t have any real weaknesses-especially as it relates to damage. You can do what you want but it makes no sense to not run Custom boom/custom GL pretty much always.
