Gears Of War’s Lancer is the best weapon in gaming
There are many iconic weapons in gaming, some of which can be devastating or challenging. We’re going to celebrate the best of them all, so today, we head over to Gears of War, the world of big guys with larger guns, to discuss the Lancer, its most iconic weapon.
The Gears of War series is an excellent option for grimdark fantasy fans. These similarities are evident: a bunch of fat lads murdering humanoid creatures under the control of a fascist government using weapons capable of causing a lot of blood, guts, and gore.
Many instruments of death in the Gears of War series can cause havoc. The Longshot is a great sniper rifle, and the Gnasher shotgun is the most popular weapon in twitchy, wall-bouncing, one-hit-kill multiplayer. The Lancer is the Gun that Started It All: However, it’s the Gears series’ real star.
The weapon looks very different at first glance. The weapon is your primary assault rifle. It has a large clip and decent fire rate. While it can’t blast Locust like other weapons, it’s a reliable and versatile weapon you can use in an emergency. You can nail an active reload by sticking a full clip in a Boomer, and it will come down faster than you would expect.
This gun is ideal for medium- to long-range cover-based engagements, which Gears excel at. Gears 101 is about hiding behind cover and then bursting out to pepper a fleeing Locust with bullets before retreating to safety. The Lancer perfectly suits this job. The attachment beneath the foregrip makes the Lancer a truly S-tier weapon. It’s the chainsaw bayonet.
Bayonets worn underneath rifles were a common feature of trench warfare. This was a way to storm the enemy lines headfirst. It’s wise to make a bayonet stand out in your cover-based shooter. Gear is a slick piece of sci-fi media. The bayonet comes as a chainsaw, which would envy Leatherface.
