Patch Notes

PvP:

• The Gnasher will no longer have brighter muzzle flashes on the 2 v 2 Allfather Arena map.
• Players will now receive appropriate penalties for continuing to disband Competitive lobbies.
• We've removing the ability to see the PC Icon in Public lobbies across Gears 5, this icon will stay in for Custom matches to help maintain esports integrity.
• We've added an option to add a delay to the expression wheel appearing, this can be toggled from instantly to 5 seconds which should help prevent accidental openings of the wheel while in combat.
• You can now toggle off the option to "Yank" a player over cover, sometimes a player will accidentally try to yank while trying to revive a DBNO player against cover which will help prevent this issue from occurring.
• A confirmation prompt has been added to the restart round option in custom matches.
• Addressed an issue that resulted in Hivebuster Mac not displaying a blue team shader when viewed from distance.
• We have updated the Scoreboard to provide more meaningful stats across the board for viewers and players.[list]
