Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
The basic Locust sidearm, an extremely powerful pistol compared to the Snub Pistol that included a scoped zoom and the ability score a headshot with only a few rounds.
The Boom Shot grenade launcher is a short to mid range weapon that discharges explosive projectiles through a large barrel.
The centaur is a tank with four large wheels. It is used by Delta several times in Gears of War 2's campaign and is often used to escort Derricks.
A locust weapon that works by shooting a creature underground that then pops out and explodes on the enemy.
A weaponized mining tool.
The Electromagnetic Break Action Railgun is a scopeless sniper rifle.
An SMG used by DeeBees.
The short range weapon of choice for the Coalition forces. It can literally sever an enemy in half with one shot within a range of 3 meters.
The Hammerburst is an assault rifle normally wielded by Locust forces. It is the counterpart to the Coalition's Lancer and fires in bursts, rather than fully automatically.
One of the best-known trademarks of Gears of War, the infamous "gun with a chainsaw on it" will tear opponents apart with absolutely no mercy.
A Lancer assault rifle featuring a grenade launcher in place of the standard chainsaw bayonet.
The LongShot is a high-powered bolt action single shot rifle.
An indirect fire weapon which lobs shells (generally explosive) on an arcing trajectory. It is muzzle-loaded, capable of attacking targets at close range unlike traditional artillery.
You too can partake in this massive chain gun if you can take down the Grinder who wields them.
The Retro Lancer is a rifle that appears in Gears of War 3, it has a knife bayonet attached to the end of it and predates the standard Lancer.
As the name suggests, this is a shotgun whose barrel has been sawed off closer to the firing chamber to make it more portable. It has a much shorter range, but is easy to manoeuvre and is easy to conceal.
The Scorcher is a new weapon in Gears of War 2. It sets things on fire real good.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
The standard sidearm for all COG forces in the Gears of War series. Every player starts with this pistol in both single player campaign, and multiplayer.
The Torque Bow fires Imulsion fueled arrow-like projectiles, which explode shortly after impacting with a surface. The Bow also features two blades which help during close-quarter combat.
