The Coalition has released a new patch for Gears of War Reloaded on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, which comes with a number of crash fixes for the cover-based shooter as well as tuning for the Gnasher. Specifically, its power has been reduced for mid-range blasts so that it now does 15% less damage, and the spread of its pellets is not as tight when you’re aiming down the sights.

Gears of War Reloaded builds on the foundations of Gears of War Ultimate Edition, which itself is a remaster of the original 2006 cover-based shooter. The game features spruced up visuals and frame rate, all previously released DLC, and 120 FPS support for the multiplayer mode, while Cross-Progression and Cross-Play is also available via a Microsoft Account.

Based on community feedback, we’ve tuned the Gnasher:
- Reduced power at mid-range:
Damage modifications: medium-range damage reduced by 15% – does not affect close range damage. - Bullet spread not as tight when aiming down sights:
The Shotgun Pellet Spread when aiming down sights is now less tight when targeting compared to the launch version, but it is still tighter than the beta.
