So we finally got to a solid match of Horde Mania in! We've been playing it decently consistently since it came out, and we got all the Tour of Duty objectives rolling, but it took us a little while to get a match down where we didn't hit a panic mode at one spot or another because of how little time you have for taps and building fortifications.

Mania definitely feels different from how it went on Gears of War 4. Back then, this was our go-to mode, and we usually slowed things down more for a Scout to go pick up the power. In this, it feels like we need to watch ourselves more as rounds seem to end without us capturing a tap or grabbing a solid handful of power more often. As well, with perks to level, fortifications to build, guns to collect, and taps to tap, the short amount of time you get in between waves has more pressure on it. As a result, Mania feels more chaotic than it did in its previous iteration.

That being said, it's a GREAT way to get cards. For a full 25 wave set, gives out 10 cards. If you're doing normal Horde you only get a few more, and Horde Frenzy only gives you 4 if it's not the daily. This seems like a nice in-between mode to hit up.

Also with THAT being said, I'll be trying to get a good engineer run (probably Mechanic or Architect) in to see how that feels trying to be a builder rather than being purely damage. We'll see if I want to pull my remaining hair out lol

As for the build, this is my go-to set up for Veteran as of now. Being that Mania gave us some chaotic moments, I figured it'd be best to use my main card layout to see how that is nowadays since I've been grinding and leveling out cards more. If only Gears wouldn't hate me and give me more Focus and Headshot Master cards, then I'd be in great shape! Loves giving me Band of Brothers tho so....fair. I also just enjoy using the retro lancer and lancer combo the most, but then always get reminded of how good the GL is, so I started hitting that up toward the later half of this match

I'm also looking to start up (and resume) a couple new channels on top of this! That way there's more content to sink into from me! I'll link those channels out when I get some videos up on them.

I'm streaming Gears 5 currently on Saturdays from 11 AM - 5 PM EST (possibly branching into more soon), and we could always use more people to join in and play with us!
