Ahead of the Versus Tech Test, which will take place in just over 10 days, The Coalition begins to show us the competitive modes of Gears 5 that we will also find in the technical test, starting from the new version of theEscalation, designed to give life in intense and tactical encounters; so let's find out the first details about this mode.

The footage shows us that Escalation will now have a new screwsystem, with each player starting with 5 lives available and getting one at each round and 5 in the middle of the game (always for up to 5). Once lives are over, you won't be able to respawn in the game, and if all players on a team die at any time, no matter how many lives are left, the game will be automaticallylost.

We also find newweapons, such as the Claw , a very precise type of assault rifle when shooting but losing precision as you hold your finger on the trigger, or a new pistol machine gun at close range and with a high rate of fire but also a strong recoil; The smoke grenade also no longer has a stun effect but there is a flashbang grenade apart for this.

Now there is also a kill cam and there is a lot of information on the screen to tell us how much a team is missing from winning, how much a weapon will respawn, and so on; However, there will be no minimap.

We leave you to the movie: good viewing!
