Gears of War 4 monster copies pro player moves to beat you

Gears of War 4 will do everything it can to prepare you for multiplayer, even if that means annihilating you.

When Gears of War 4 releases next week on October 11th for the Xbox One and Windows 10, it will be releasing with a monster called the 'Juvie.' These animals were developed with multiplayer training in mind. The AI in the Gears 4 campaign won't be utilizing too many moves that players will use in multiplayer, but the Juvie will.

This creature uses some of the same methods that professional gamers use, like wall-bouncing, to make sure that when you head to multiplayer, you aren't murdered within seconds.

The Coalition’s Creative Director, Chuck Osieja revealed that the new monster was taking pointers from professional players on the best method of killing in an interview with Press Start:

“We have a new enemy called the Juvie which is a new enemy in the game that’s actually designed to mimic pro players in the campaign. What happens is that most people will play the campaign and then go into the multiplayer, but they can’t handle players who wall-bounce. So with the Juvies, we actually created something that mimics how pro players wall-bounce through the environment so that you’re already getting trained in the campaign, so that when you get into multiplayer, you’re actually more competent because you’re already used to tracking enemies that move around the map.”

Unfortunately, this means that the Juvie will probably take a chunk out of your health if you're a newcomer to the series.
