At around 0:48 you say that the sniper will fire "mostly" at the center of your screen if you are standing still and that there is just a little bit of deviation. There actually was no deviation at all and the longshot was 100% accurate when standing still. This made it absurdly easy to blindfire and pop shot.
The longshot didn't work this way when Gears 5 first launched, but they later decided to test out 100% accuracy. They eventually did away with these changes and you will experience a decent amount of deviation when you blindfire. The deviation doesn't seem to be as bad as when the game first launched, but it's significant enough that you can easily notice.

What is your sensitivity on Gears 5?

[@SomeSnarkGaming]

30-23-17, maxed out acceleration, and I forget exactly what the deadzones are, but that should be whatever if best for your controller
