Just after few weeks of its release, Microsoft and The Coalition have announced the first Title Update forGears of War 4that was released on November 1st, bringing the most awaited legacy player maps, along with much more. The servers were reported to be down for maintenance purposes and the game was offline for a few hours.
The patch notes reveal it is a large-scale update with major changes. The new update will take up around 6GB of space on your Xbox console or PC. For us, the most interesting addition so far is the new map, that will be available for Season Pass owners of Gears of War 4. Those who don’t have one can play the new maps starting November 8th.
The update has brought manyfixes of minor issuesacross both the Xbox One and Windows 10 versions of the game. Users can also notice changes to the competitive Lancer, Gnasher, and Hammerburst weapons along with a slightly increased difficulty of bots in Social Versus, consistency in weapon respawn and the ability for Xbox One and Windows 10 players to use cross-play over LAN. For the Windows 10 side, notable tweaks include rebound for several keys such as the Execute, Point of Interest keys and Spectator Mode controls. Xbox users are rewarded with a more eye-catching view and HDR Split-Screen Visualization options available with HDR calibration.
The Coalition has actively incorporatedcustomer feedbackas a source for future update recommendations and will make Future Community Holiday Event Packs accessible via in-game credits, along with removing duplicate card appearances in packs.
There’s a lot more to the Gears of War 4’s Title Update, so here’s a detailed list of all the changes were implemented from November 1st:
Title Update November 1 2016
New Maps
Two new maps will be added to the developer playlist on November 1st for Season Pass owners and will be available in standard rotation and private games on November 8th for everyone.
Weapon Tuning Changes(These changes may occur a few hours after the Title Update hits. We will update people once these go live.)
We have made some changes to the Competitive Lancer and Gnasher. The goal was to try to smooth out the damage falloff to provide a more consistent feel, without sacrificing the skill.
Lancer
Gnasher
Hammerburst body damage has been significantly reduced in Core tuning. Headshot damage has only been slightly reduced to maintain the skill of the weapon.
Fixed an issue where Escalation weapon respawn timers would sometimes not be consistent
