Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Patch Now Live, Fixes Gnasher Shotgun Issues

The latest patch for Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is now live. The main focus of the patch is on fixing issues with the Gnasher Shotgun.

"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," said developer The Coalition. "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. "

Here is the complete list of patch notes:

General improvements to the consistency of the Gnasher.
Gnasher pellets now always shoot in a consistent pattern.
Removed “Idle State” from MP which could cause shooting trajectory to be more random.
Fixed a bug where some Gnasher shots were reporting as headshots incorrectly
