Melee Is Your Friend

Gears 5 Multiplayer Tips and Tricks
While your weapons are the best way to deal damage 99% of the time, that doesn’t mean your melee attack (B on Xbox One) is completely useless.
Not only is it handy for finishing enemies that you’ve downed to save yourself some ammo, but it can also give you the advantage in close-quarters battles with enemies.
The melee can actually be used as a way to steady your enemy in close-quarters combat before using the Gnasher Shotgun to finish them off.
Melee deals a tiny bit of damage, which if you get a good shot off with the Gnasher, is enough to eliminate an enemy.
By steadying your enemy, you’ll find that they’re less able to move around — or slower in doing so — after you’ve given them a quick taste of your fist.
