All these people saying how you need to play more and you will be better naturally and tutorial like this is so basic, yady yada. i have seen individuals playing this game for years but still, they play like noobs often. You see tips like this are extremely useful when you consciously put the effort, most of the time new players playing with bad players, as a result, they adapt to their playstyle, consequently makes them a bad player no matter how many years they have been playing this game, because a lot of the movements and timing becomes subconscious, cause you no longer thinking consciously in the battle, your skills are muscle memory. Therefore videos like this will help beginners setup the right foundation to become a 5x better player than those playing this game for years. With that being said ICY my bro keep making these videos it is definitely helpful for the community.
Honestly avexys said it best, the only way to get better is to pay attention to the mistakes you make and critique your own gameplay. Self-awareness is important
Right. Conscious EFFORT becomes rewarding later. It’s not always FUN trying to learn and go out of your comfort zone but it’s NECESSARY to improve. You have to think and push yourself. Try maybe once a week focusing on one aspect of your game and then move onto another when you feel like you’ve gotten results. You have to really be patient too and realize sometimes things take time. It’s important also to take breaks and chill. Muscle memory and skills really set in during sleep. So get plenty of rest too!
@@showbo378 I agree with that... Like now days I'm a pretty decent player and like I got there by taking ass whoopings lol.... but I would kinda be like "okay I did this wrong" or "I did that wrong"... I mean I'm still making mistakes to this day,you always are learning no matter what
I've learned all I know in gears from watching ppl play after dying in gow3 wingman. Getting in lobbies w icy/sumuns/praised/toy and being humbled by their play style/positioning/movement has made me better. This is a great guide brother keep it up
Would be awesome if you could do a shotgun tutorial on how to counter peoples common moves. Like if someone walks to wide left of cover to get a shot on you for example. I sometimes fall victim to some of the most simple moves. It gets frustrating sometimes lol.
Its so crazy how people do have tendencies or common moves lol. Like i find that after playing gears since 1 that people still dont check corners 🤣🤣 i have killed literal thousands cuz they just run through everywhere and i pop out last second BANG 😭😭
Nice tutorial man. I personally didn't need any of the tips but its good to get this in the hands of people who may not know or understand how any of this works. I'd recommend doing a tutorial on shotgun timing and pacing.
Completely agree, distance and timing are by far the most important things in gnasher fights. IE when close distance for chunk vs retreat to safety OR when maintain distance after having health advantage. So many people just blindly sprint into chunk range at every single fight with no thought.
@@tbohacker That and just the shotguns pacing for strafing. You need to be quite particular with when you move to the other direction or fake movements. Its definitely something most pros will never talk about because its like a secret that will change the way people will expect the direction the enemy goes in.
@@Nephilim_JR yea totally. Timing bounces and strafe with shot cadence and knowing your opponents "weak" side is something many people don't consider. I think even with that information most people would still struggle. It definitely takes a conscious effort to make it part of your game, at least initially.
I would like to see more about proper positioning. I tend to think of things like keeping right side advantage but I'm not even sure that exists anymore. I felt like I had this down better in gears 4 but not getting on top of it as well in 5. As others have commented, I often feel like it's so obvious to people how to counter me, I'll try to strafe or bounce out of the way but often find myself immediately downed, like why did I even try to move. I guess keeping them in the center of my screen as much as possible, based on this video.
Great shooting advice , you broke it down into logical categories ( pop shot , hip shot ,hold aim shot ,when to use left stick and right stick shots , corner shots and the icing on the cake , the pro shot ) and then explained the pros and cons of each category .........clean , accurate and complete......like your playing style , mucho gracias amigo! Thanks for being there .
Maybe you and Fran could do a vid on how to have good team communication and synergy. You guys do have one of the most coordinated teams in the league.
Just started watching your videos man. Great tips and content. Been playing gears ever since the first one online. Always around “diamond 3/masters” going off current Gears. Where I am going with this is you use relevance and comparison well. Using different scenarios is huge too, definitely like that about your videos! The secret you mentioned reminded me right away of quick scooping in a sense for FPS games. But did not know that existed in the gears world. -All around, best Gear’s videos I’ve ever seen for advice/tips/guides. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Icyyy, just wanna say that I am a big fan. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work and all the best in your Gears career.
Nice vid Nick, appreciate the tips. would definitely love some tips on reaction shots and especially wrap shots. accurate and timely wrap shots eems to be the one I have the most trouble with. thanks
Short video on reaction shots/ wrap shots? Just a suggestion, I've been needing a little guidance with reaction shots because to me they're so HARD to pull off 😅
Nice video, gnasher combat is always complicated for new players, or even for those who played all Gears games (as me). Somehow, i reached Master rank un KOTH, but i feel that i need to improve more, and this video is very helpful for that. Thanks, Iceman. :)
Hey man awesome tutorials dude Just wondering what your tips would be for fighting people who are in cover? Like I always end up getting an enemy who will take to low cover most times they'll end up killing me. Generally I try and go wide on cover but that doesn't always work. Would you have any tips in particular on how to deal with those situations?
@Red icy @1:31 you will missed more often blind fire but. i try to pop shot or aim at that distance and i get killed most of the time. Sometimes miss completely i guess lol . but i am aiming dead on. aloota times in ffa i just help other get kills. 60 -99% and someone steals. LOL
Can you please do a tutorial video on how to do wrap-around shots? I keep hitting the cover, and some of them are wide covers that I’ve seen others do no problem.
I have an elite controller series 2. I really need help configuring it. To make my bouncing smooth and fast and have my controller interact when I want it to.
What about when two players are roadie running at each other? When is the best time to stop charging and to get the chunk shot? I lose those 99% of the time to newbs and pros alike.
Boys I need your help I have never played gears before and I am supposed to 1v1 my mate tomorrow who has been playing for years I was talking a lot of shit any tips?
How do you move like that in middle of wall bounce, because you bounce in the and stop your player from hitting the actual wall or end in cover, been trying to figure this out for a long time
Question for ya - played a 4 stack of masters last night that relied heavily on Lancers from a distance. Had decent spread and held down positions. I would try to smoke up and force a close fight but it was hard to find a clean 1v1. How would you deal with teams that are lancer heavy?
You can’t go straight for the hills even with utility grenades. Your team hasto force the 1 player who is farthest out of position.(least likely to get a revive) For example on a map like gridlock. If the hill is on shock grenade and they have a set up in main snipe tower, and the planter boxes they most likely will have someone in the hammerburst boltok tower. That is the person you need to go for. You have to break apart the setup and take 1 person down and make a coordinated push after that. Otherwise he’s going to sit in that host pocket and make it extremely difficult to break hills. Don’t play for hills with 20 seconds left unless the round depends on it. Be the first to get to a hill and start a setup, you don’t need 4 people capping a hill. Stop killing people when the hills on rotation of you can, all that does is allows the team to have the next hill advantage because for some dumb reason that’s how gears 5 respawning works. Ever since the move to 4 players, it’s a lot easier to break a setup, it’s nowhere near the landlocked of 5 players lancering. Also it’s handy to have at least one person switch to smokes. For example on blood drive. If hills are on grenades switch to flash and if hills are in weapons switch to smokes and flashes. Blood drive has a lot of choke spots so smokes won’t do you well on certain sides of the map If the hills is on snipe weapon someone has to make a play for the back side to get the lancer crops to force players out of position. It’s ok to lose 10-5 seconds getting a coordinated push going, it’s not okay to keep dying off spawn wasting more time

100% the best GoW content creator, always a brand new video to watch when I wake up. Sending my love from the UK.
Great stuff LIVING LEGEND

I only take notes from icy because he actually knows wtf he doin
Thanks .. sure it helps appreciate your efforts bro 👍🏻
Thank you Nicolas really appreciate this
They need to bring back execution to this game, some intense shotgun fights happen then.
MORE OF THIS CONTENT! I’m getting back into gears and can’t get better at the movements
Ice lets play now?
These are important to keep the game alive
Nice vid icy. For next vid idea can you do like when you would go for a one shot chunk or a 2 shot down
Keep the vids coming brotha !🔥
Love the vid Nick and the stream last night
Great Video!!
Nice vid I like to see what difference is there between gaming computers vs consoles / monitor or tv
Icy iq is insane!
My man just showed them the bot walking technique noooooo iceyyyy what you doing😂
Really helpful, just subbed!
Nice vídeo.
@Red Icy Thx again bro.FFA time prolly still suck LOL
I love how he kills other players and continues his explanation as if nothing happens

Could you show the wrap around shot maybe? Cool vid too
Bro 🥺 you should make a video about: What could we do, when we are on full red?
how do you wall bounce so fast with traditional controllers?! do you play with claw hands? this is easy to do with tournment controller
Some people will find that helpful nice man
Can you please do a tutorial video on how to do wrap-around shots? I keep hitting the cover, and some of them are wide covers that I’ve seen others do no problem.
You’re probably not turning your right stick inward enough
I have an elite controller series 2. I really need help configuring it. To make my bouncing smooth and fast and have my controller interact when I want it to.
Nice, good job!
i’ll get there, man.. 🙂
Can you give some tips on using Single stick, I find it pretty frustrating to use
What about when two players are roadie running at each other? When is the best time to stop charging and to get the chunk shot? I lose those 99% of the time to newbs and pros alike.
Don’t keep going. Find a decent distance and go for it. Killing someone with a 2 shot is better than getting chuncked.
Good ish bro

thks bro. It helps me. Are u doing private sessions?
I can't believe people out there still learning gears
Podshot tutorial :(
Thanks
Put tape on your TV problem solved 🤣

Debería estar en español, se ve que es información muy valiosa, entendí poco.
Thanks for the tips will def use and practice this in my game. Much appreciated. KaiB0sh76
I dont know if anyone else does this, I used the weapon selction HUD to reference the center of the screen.
Just play the game more people. Videos aren’t going to get your aim better. You get better off experience btw good luck
Nah there are other and better games more worth our time than playing this game more often.
Not how that works, if you don’t learn and work on aiming specifically, you are not going to get better.
Pop shot i do HOW?
press LT RT at the same time
ELOS 😁
Step 1: Pick Baird
Single stick tbh that’s all you need 🤷🏽♂️
Scrubs use single stick
"HOW TO BE MORE ACCURATE IN GEARS 5" Replace barrel aim with center screen shooting.
I can tell you from personal experience that getting repetitions in by itself will not help you get better....
How to be more accurate: use keyboard and mouse
