Weapon Selection You’ve got a number of different weapons to choose from in Gears of War, from a lowly pistol to the mighty Hammer of Dawn. You can only pick up two weapons at a time, though; you’ll be familiar with this mechanic if you’ve ever played Halo. (You will have a separate slot for...

Tutorial There’s no lengthy cutscene at the beginning of Gears of War; you find yourself getting busted out of prison and then immediately start fighting. Well, we’re lying to you; you’re going to be able to choose between picking a combat mode or the game’s tutorial. The tutorial is only...

Shortly after you enter the House of the Sovereigns, you’ll run across Augustus Cole, the one and only Cole Train, apparently some famous athlete before the war. He’s going to be in a spot of trouble at the outset, so head down the steps when the Lt. opens the doors and kill off all the locusts...

Tick Tick Boom You have to get to the Emulsion factory before you can plant your sonic device. Unfortunately, it’s around ten kilometers away; too far to walk in any kind of reasonable amount of time. Dom’s got a plan to get you there quicker, but you’ll have to ditch your Hammer of Dawn...

After the short communication with Anya, head outside and stick to the lighted areas while you take on the locusts. It may appear that there’s no way to cross the middle ground here, but there are indeed a pair of propane tanks hidden behind the chests of drawers in no-man’s land. Shoot them...

Downpour As you’ll find when you walk into the rain towards the factory, the only entrance to it is locked, and it’s surrounded by irradiated wretches. These wretches are somewhat more hardy than their previous forms, and explode when they die; in other words, don’t use your chainsaw on them...

Campus Grinder It’s time to get to Marcus Fenix’s house. Why? Who knows! It’s never really explained what all this has to do with Fenix; all we know is that the map you found outside the mine is somehow related to him. There’s a lengthy fight to begin this level, so get ready for some tough...

Another tough fight when you reach the outskirts of the Fenix Estate. Many drones will appear, as well as a couple of Theron Guards. Nothing to do but kill them, we suppose. On the far side of the large garden area, you’ll have two routes to take: one to the left, which leads through a...

Special Delivery So now that you have the data, you have to use it to plant some super-secret bomb that the military’s cooked up in order to roast the Locusts out of their underground lairs. Or something. It’s all pretty hazy, but then again, you’re just a grunt. It’s on a need-to-know basis...

As the ominous quiet and the opened weapons lockers implies here, a boss fight is about to occur, and a difficult one, at that. RAAM is the end boss of the game, after all, so he won’t be as much of a creampuff as the other bosses you’ve faced. Your main tool here is going to be your sniper...

Reload Audio Cues When you're firing (Lancer & Hammerburst at least)and your clip starts to run low, your gun will start to make a clicking noise with every shot, that way you know to keep your eye on the ammo and start planning for a reload Auto-Reload Melee Trick Sometimes during a...

Okay, I want to start off by saying, this is not a flame at boosters. I just dont feel like doing that (boosting) with this game, its too much fun, and if you follow these suggestions, maybe you will find it to be fun too! This is stuff that I have recently started to implement myself, and it...

The fight is actually pretty straightfoward as long as you are doing it CO-OP. Both loadup on the sniper rifle (pre-req that someone should get to this stage of the game with one in inventory since there is only 1 provided in the train car prep room. Have one person grab the torque bow -...
