A new patch has been rolled out this week for "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition." The update fixes the problem related to Gnasher, a shotgun, which was encountered by the players. With the new update, players can now shoot in a consistent pattern, and the bug regarding Gnasher's headshots has been fixed too, a report from Gamespot said on Friday.
"We wanted to improve the Gnasher by focusing on producing a consistent shot, so players can better predict and estimate the damage they are doing to opponents. We've done this by changing the Gnasher from a randomized pellet spread to the same shape spread. This will help reduce occurrences where you do less or more damage than expected, and also help players calculate their damage expectations during gunfights more accurately and consistently. Additionally, we've also removed the 'Idle State' from Multiplayer, which could result in your first shot landing off center if you hadn't aimed or fired your weapon after a small period of time," reads a patch note of the update, as posted on the game's website.
Gamespot reports that aside from fixing Gnasher's bug, the recent patch also removed the multiplayer idle state which players claimed to have caused problems when firing the first shot.
Below are the general improvements for Gnasher and other essential updates sourced from the game's official website.
