one thing i noticed about RAAM i was surprised wasn't added was if you actually get close to him when he's shooting his gun, it also acts as a shot gun too. i remember completing *A Dish Best Served Cold* achievement he would shoot his weapon a couple times like a shot gun if your close enough to him.
The boom shot fires an emulsion cluster bomb and that's why it needs a large drum like you would shield from radiation (emulsion exposure in this case) and is loaded into the drum using tools. The pump is to load the shell from the drum into the chamber.👌 Love your stuff Abz keep it up!👍
the swarm are related to the locust, most likely descendants as the swarm hives are inside the locust burial sites, also the swarm do not have a definitive leader at the very top in gears 4 and do not get one till the final part of gears 5
@blueguy2128 blame the industry for putting out busted up, financially predatory and low quality sequels. They're the ones making them. Id 10000% buy a remastered trilogy, then anything close to gears 5. So I'd have to disagree that people like me are why the *industry* is terrible now, sir.
Awesome video my friend! It’s like reliving my childhood all over again. One thing I’ve noticed on UA-cam is there’s not good video on the Locust war. Like cover battle by battle and I feel like your the perfect guy to do something like that?! Just a thought 💭 keep up the good work 👍
Honestly, the ragers should’ve switched the grip on the weapon bc it’s literally just an axe, and it would’ve made them scarier and make sense when they kill you in 2 hits.
Thanks. I appreciate the longer video - its easier to follow i find as smaller vids kind of end just where they get really interesting :-) Would be really interesting to see an abz character be a writer on scientific thesis in gears 6, ud deserve it for all the research too :-)
Not many people know this. The Gorgon Pistol is the burst-fire weapon in Gears of War 2. The Gorgon SMG is the fully automatic (700 rounds per minute) weapon in Gears of War 3.
Abz that’s called a Glaive. It’s basically a spear specialized for cutting and slashing. So I would call it a cleaver glaive. Also those troikas should be able to shoot indefinitely as long as they have enough ammo.
god damn this was an interesting as hell video to watch being able to learn more about i series i enjoy so much is always great, in the end im just happy to still see gears of war videos coming out still, keep up the great work Abz!
@udamthewaster9454 you like fighting waves of mindless robots?.. I guess, man to each their own. But I enjoy fighting enemies that have personality, interesting attributes and characteristics. I get no pleasure in shooting emotionless, goaless hardware that's been accidentally programmed to kill. It's boring and lazy writing.
I like the Hammerburst, even though it's not that great in Gears 2. It does a hell of a lot of damage but it feels like it lacks the visceral punch of other weapons. It should be a burst fire weapon, given its name.
@@KingAbzTV idk it's just gears is a popular franchise that went dark, I would say fallout but everyone's kicked that hourse to death lol either way u do u
Off topic kinda but isn’t it crazy that once people start quick scoping and abusing already good mechanics in a game they die off??? God I used to love gears when people actually played like it it was a war. Now it’s sliding t-bags everywhere and no other guns used except the sniper and the shotty. What a waste of such good lore
@@bryanemilius1606 "Survival" is literally their *WHOLE* shtick... Now, I'd argue that *Boomers,* in particular, are probably too dumb to understand that dropping an explosive "danger close" is a bad idea. But then again, "video game logic" is disingenuous as well, since it's blatantly obvious that Boomers CAN survive the fragmentation better than a human could, so Boomers firing "danger close" and just tanking the impact is absolutely possible for them but not for humans. So you're *both* wrong.
One of the ONLY good things "4" and "5" gave us was the Hammerburst (which I thought was a great middle ground between the SMG from "1" and the Rifle from 3") I really hope they bring it to the "E-Day" Multiplayer mode. Preferably with a bayonet, then, in my personal opinion, it would be PERFECT.
You make so many good videos on Gears of War and I’ve been scouring UA-cam for a video that explains how to get/unlock the gears of war 1-3 360 gamer pics. Just a suggestion if you ever run out of ideas.
i have a question. where do the Locust fabricate all their weapons? i think we have never seen the place where the Locust fabricate all their guns. i also think that we never seen where the Gears fabricate all their weapons also.😐
My two favorite weapons are the komax (the one from GoW 3) and the tension bow, one for its precision and its perfect rate of fire for headshots but also its brutal execution then the second the tension bow is precise and effective (especially if you miss the head the target doesn't escape) but hey I had a question from 0:00 to 0:24 which gears do these images come from? because a big locust with a hammer or even the possible possibility of playing with raam.. I don't see which one it could be especially since I am a big fan of this license and its history please give me a little answer? Ps I'm a French fan but I'm for the locust if they attacked humans they had good reasons
The Elite Sawed Off could've had so much potential if it was added into the game, too bad we only got to play it during RAAM's Shadow
Most of the fanbase disagrees. Noob gun.
The sawed-off with the retro charge was honesty of the most brutal weapons in the series
I'd actually forgotten about it lol loved seeing it as well :)
I agree
I disagree. My reason is a bayonet can't really compare in brutality to a chainsaw. Also had no idea it was even a thing until this video.
@@jmsgridiron5628 i could be wrong but Droid might've meant the shotgun itself, not just the bayonet. still, anything that can make mincemeat of gears or locust should be feared.
@@titanrahlgaming I mean both, you charge then blast them with the sawd-off
The ink grenade is heavily underrated.
Good in pvp
The og incendiary grenade. Also ink grenades should’ve returned in the new games.
Yeah but to rare
The Kryll grenades are more fun.
@@slyllamademon2652technically not possible unfortunately. This is because the ink grenade is a baby nemacyst and I’m pretty sure they went extinct after the locust countermeasure
The Boomshot part made me laugh. King of the Hill mode with just Boomers vs COG is hilariously overkill.
LMAOO taking no prisoners!
@@KingAbzTV How did you have THOSE locust in "PvP."
@@ShadowNova300It was pve
I wish we could of used the elite double barrel and the krill grenade in multi-player, and in horde mode too. Great video.

A cheeky 20 minute+ lore video breaking down the ICONIC locust weaponry, enjoy!
Plz do this with cog weapons
OH HO HO you never fail to impress
By the way, in GoW 3 if you interrupt boomshot's reload animation. It will spawn three to four extra drums rather then just one.
A weapon that always stuck with me with the Ticker, mobile landmines with a hint of sadness

Out of all the locust weapons, my favourite has got to be the twerk bow
Torque
@@Eastcoasto4 shut up you idiot
@@Eastcoasto4Twerk bow lmao
Lol I'm gunna be calling it the twerk bow from now on😂
I have no problem with the Swarm but they don't have the drip that the Locust had. 😂
They don't have a tenth
The Swarm are fine they just need more Locust variety since they're supposed to be a descendent of them bring back the Boomers for example
I miss fighting the old school locust they seemed way more organized, was never a fan of the swarm
the swarm are related to the locust, most likely descendants as the swarm hives are inside the locust burial sites, also the swarm do not have a definitive leader at the very top in gears 4 and do not get one till the final part of gears 5
Dizzy holding off skorge while you got into the drill pod was my favorite scene of the series. Favorite character by far
You mean tai?
@@XXAnthonyCarmineXxgoofy dizzy was fighting there with him, imagine thinking you know it all🤓🤓
that’s what the swarm are missing their own unique weaponry
the claw was a step in the right direction
I never knew about the sawed-off with the blade on it
Theron Guard: We present, The Locust Super Shotgun, now with Dual blades!
Doomslayer: MUST....TAKE.....NOTES!
That should have been standard.
I really hope we get a remaster for 2 & 3 with cut content and dlc. Such a good trilogy.

I miss beast mode
Amazing video again! A bit of a tip If you do plant the shield backwards, the enemy can’t knock it down 😉
While all of the executions in the game were very brutal, I still remember the snub nose pistol executions the most from Gears of War 3.
Adding insult to injury at the end of a match with a full punch finisher felt good.
Love the Breechshot!
This brought back memories. Loved it
3:00 never seen the bullet of the boom shot that’s cool
Where did they get the technologies and knowledges to create weapons?

I really want to see a swarm and locust analysis video and who is better. Also I never understood a boomshot having a drum mag for just one round
Thanks. I appreciate the longer video - its easier to follow i find as smaller vids kind of end just where they get really interesting :-)
Would be really interesting to see an abz character be a writer on scientific thesis in gears 6, ud deserve it for all the research too :-)
Glad you appreciate the longer video, takes a lot more effort but definitely worth it in the end! I like a nice balance of both!
Love the locust’s crude weapons dude
Man how I miss the good old days staying up all night playing Gears 1&2 with my friends. I was way too good with the sniper.
Sike u was a scrub get wrecked son
I've had the same picture of a butcher as my Xbox profile picture since gears 2 came out lol I won't ever change it!

I see, yeah that’s right. Thanks!
Started playing through the series on hard again and almost through Gears 2. The torque bows are likely the single weapon I die to most lol.
I just realized something. When E-day comes out are the grubs going to have the mark one hammer burst or the mark two
I miss playing beast mode in GOW 3 wish you could still play it
Umm I just played 12 games of beast and horde idk what you mean wish you could still play it
@@whoswho9029 on the Xbox one? It told me that it wasn’t available anymore

Perfect for a gears RTS game bro
Maybe it would be called: “gears strategy”
