This episode will go over the strengths and weaknesses of the three starting rifles in the Gears of War 3 Beta - Lancer, Retro Lancer, and Hammerburst. I recommend loadouts for different types of players and show some nice spots to use the rifles. All gameplay is from a series of three games which I uploaded to our AmazYnMLG channel (link above).

So there IS a headshot damage modifier for the hammerburst or did they take that out for the retail version?

[arCtiCvBi]

@Displace77 there is NOT a headshot modifier on the hammerburst

[Falling2Grey29]

When reloading with the Hammerburst, do you wait to get the active, or do you just get it loaded as quickly as possible, at the start of the "good" zone?

[arCtiCvBi]

@Falling2Grey29 depends on the situation. I typically reload as fast as possible, but if I'm in a position far enough from enemy players with a good line of sight, I'll use actives.

[AGamerSView]

Is the Lancer still weak like in the previous 2, i hope not, cause everyone runs around with shotty :( By the way nice vids!

[arCtiCvBi]

@AGamerSView the Lancer received a slight boost in damage towards the end of the beta. It felt significantly stronger than the previous two games.

I actually need to disagree with what is said about the gnsher vs. sawed-off. You WILL get better using the sawed-off, but it will be mostly general skills and map awareness, instead of gun specialising (all you will learn is range, actives, and spread). However with a gasher the gun specialisation goes higher as you will learn range, actives, gib range, wall bouncing (as it applies to the gnasher) and also accuracy (as the sawed off has the spread to help with this).

[xavtron]

I generally start the games with the hammerburst from a distance then if my team gets ahead go patrolling with the retro up close to mop up the last kills before the enemy can form a tight defense

[sonex1203]

Feathering with a retro is more effective in the retail, dosen't beat a hammerburst though.

[pieordie12]

@Displace77 Nahh man the only AR in the retail with a head shot mod is the lancer.. The hammerburst definitely did have a modifier in the Beta though. I guess these gears of war 3 lessons kinda jumped the gun a bit.

[Sevendust752]

Lancer+gnasher=average Joe

Lancer+sawed off=thinks they are good but not

[WannaBeBeauty09]

you forgot two-piecing with the retro

[xXHarryR18Xx]

Hammer Burst and Gnasher = Gears Vet.

Retro Lancer and Sawed Off = Shitty Noob

[HughsMeatShop]

This video is dumb the lancer has so much ammo that you can beat the people reloading their guns to the kill. Lancer is the best , use it with the gnasher.
