GoW: Ultimate Edition Update Improves Gnasher and More

Microsoft have announced that an update to Gears of War: Ultimate Edition adds some improvements to one of the game’s weapons, changes to multiplayer achievements and a plethora of other tweaks and adjustments.

The title update is available right now and changes how the iconic Gnasher shotgun works. As in the original Gears of War from way back in 2006, the Gnasher’s pellet spread was randomised. It is now the same spread pattern each time it’s fired, which increases consistency and fixes issues wherein players were able to perform long-range headshots with the close quarters weapon.

Changes have also been made to the game’s Hill-based game modes, allowing for the “This is Annex!” and “Nub Pwn3r” achievements to be earned in King of the Hill, Annex and Blitz.

As a way of celebrating the tweaks to the game’s multiplayer, players now earn double XP, which will run up until 12pm PDT on 28th September.

A bunch of minor adjustments have also been to the game, based on fan feedback. Find the full patch notes below:
