Gears Tactics is an ambitious spinoff that doesn’t necessarily innovate, but it does succeed in taking the turn-based strategy genre head-on. The game’s presentation is quality, reflecting classic, core Gears elements. Although the gameplay flattens out by forcing repetitive mission types – extensive customization, immersive storytelling, and overall polish earns Splash Damage and The Coalition a tip of the

The One-Shot is an electrically charged magazine that fires 20mm rounds bullets with high speed. One-shot comes with amazing firepower and killing speed that makes it one of the best weapons in Gear Tacti

Gears Tactics is a great game, but it’s a complicated one, and there are a lot of things in there that even fans don’t know about. So to help new players and old ones alike, here’s our list of the 10 things everyone completely missed in Gears Tacti

XCOM has more than a little tension since players have to make the most of their few turns, which often has drastic effects. If one makes a wrong move, it could come at the cost of a character they have spent hours upgrading. But with Gears Tactics , the tension is hardly there since the players’ soldiers get an extra action per turn when one of them performs an execution. The weapons in Gears Tactics are also powerful—especially those overpowered sniper rifles—so the soldiers are unlikely to

This weapon was found in the laboratory Mount Kadar and since then it has been used many times in the game to complete many tasks and challenges. It is one of the best weapons to use when you want to shatter your enemies into pie

Very demoralizing, right? So check ammo from time to time just to be sure. While snipers can easily fire and reload during the action and others have battling gear that enhances ammo; For the rest of the characters make sure reloading is done regularly. If it comes to a point where there is no other choice, do not forget grenades or pist

At the end of the day, Gears Tactics transitions the series into a new genre admirably well. Although there is much to be desired regarding mission variety and replayability, the developers did a great job interweaving classic Gears combat and weaponry into a tactical format, making for a positive experience over

It is especially lucky for this class that one of the first skill available is one of the most useful in the entire game: Fast Fingers. The automatic reload on a hit at the skill's first level is incredibly beneficial, but the second level is where the ability truly shines. Getting an action point refund along with the reload is effectively a reset for the Sniper - a clean slate and a whole turn if used as an opener, or a last minute surge of damage if used to close out the ro

It’s entirely possible to kill two enemies in Gears Tactics with a single shot. Bullet penetration is a thing in this game, with shots capable of traveling not only through certain objects, but enemies (and Warhammer 40k Zerg allies)

The specialization branches available to the Heavy allow for the building of someone who controls a conflict zone through either stoic, unshakeable defence or sheer force of firepower. For those looking to settle in, picking up Redeploy from the Specialist branch and Dig In from Demolitionist can be incredibly useful. The ability to relocate the Anchor means more freedom on where to set up a defensive line, while the boost to accuracy to all teammates within range with Dig In means that a solid, hard to penetrate firebase can be set up with relative ease. For those looking for a more forward approach, the combination of Ultra Shot and Heat Up from the Artillery branch all but insure absolute destruction. Heat Up's 25% boost to damage that stacks with every shot is effective on its own, but pairing it with an ability that literally causes the Heavy to shot a target til either it drops or the gun goes "click" allows for an actual nightmarish amount of firepower to be leveled on an enemy. Regardless of which path the player chooses, an all-important skill is Suppressive fire. It essentially stonewalls a 4 meter cluster of enemies, breaking any overwatch they have in place and preventing them from moving for the entire subsequent turn. Suppressive Fire changes repositioning a team from dangerous legwork to a walk in the p

On the flip side though, enemies can do the same. If one of the characters falls down one of these holes, they'll be lost for good, or players will have to reload a previous checkpoint if it’s a main character . There are definite benefits for getting close to the holes, and for keeping some dista

Yes, bullets really can pass through enemies in Gears Tactics . What this means for the player is that some of their shots can hit more than one enemy at a time, especially if they can arrange their sightlines so that two of them over

Don't go for many side missions, because odds finishing some of them are very high. As such, before going on any mission, check the rewards and descriptions. Go for legendary ones rather than Epic o
