Forget the Curb Stomp and the Chainsaw Bayonet - the Batista Bomb is the best execution in Gears 5.

Developer The Coalition just added the Batista Bomb to the arsenal of executions available to Batista, who lest we forget is a playable character in Gears 5 multiplayer. Here's how it looks:

You get the Batista Bomb move free if you play any game mode in Gears 5 from now until 20th April.
