Drones are the most common form of enemies that the player will encounter first and throughout the entirety of Gears Tactics. They are weak units that attack from medium range and set up overwatch whenever possible. These enemies will appear in large waves and, while weak, they can easily overwhelm a player with their numb

The newest installment in the Gears of War line of games, Gears Tactics _ , is a completely original take on the _Gears franchise. While Gears is known for the over-the-shoulder third-person gunfights and tearing through hordes of enemies in a 3D environment, Gears Tactics keeps that momentum but in a different style. Tactics is similar to games like XCOM where, instead of controlling one character, the player controls a squad of characters while looking at a battlefield with a top-down perspective. This requires players to play Tactics more strategically then they would any other Gears g

There are some situations where a player may be unable to use any weapon. Unfortunately, guns are vital in the game, and missing them could mean a failed mission. A simple reset or restart should solve this, though no one wants to resort to t

If the player wants the Vanguard to be a dominant offensive force, skills found in the Warden and Shock Trooper trees are ideal. The Warden branch, in particular, allows for the creation of an exemplary tank. Picking up the Distraction skill allows the Vanguard to force enemies to fire on them, taking the heat off of other team mates under threat. This synergizes excellently with the Badass skill; shearing a full 75% of the damage of the first shot to hit the Vanguard on every turn means they are more or less guaranteed to come out nearly unscathed. Even if they don't grabbing the Self Revive skill means that even death won't keep them down, causing them to pop back up after the first time they get dropped. For a more field control based approach, the combination of Breach, which causes Locusts caught in the skill's radius to give up AP and health to their killer on death, and demoralize, a weapon attack that both damages and debuffs enemies hit by it, makes the Shock Trooper ideal for asserting control over a bat

As compared to the other Mark weaponry, the Lancer GL Rifle comes with great damage capacity and output rate. The rifle has a higher firing rate, reloading speed, and killing speed. This weapon offers the user a real kill rate with fewer efforts as it kills faster, and covers a large area, so you can kill as many enemies as possible at the same t

In most squads, the Vanguard is going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. A multipurpose fighter comfortable anywhere from middle to relatively close range, players are likely to keep them on the front lines at all times. Conveniently, Vanguards happen to have a well-rounded skill tree that allows them to adapt to fill in any holes in a team composit

Sound errors, on the other hand, occur depending on the position or an action a character is performing. Though this may not affect a player during play, proper background music or sound effects set the right pace and mood. It is also vital for ascertaining what is exactly happening during the g

Battlefield commandos of the highest order, scouts are great at getting around and doing the subtle work that other classes just aren't capable of. Fast moving and hard hitting, their unique mix of stealth and explosive skills makes for a hit-and-run technician that can expertly dismantle enemy positions and leave without a scratch (apart from a few powder burns and COG vs Locust gameplay stai

One good example, according to players, comes as a result of closing emergency holes using grenades. The game freezes and crashes in some cases. To avoid this, players have come with weird solutions like not touching anything for a few seconds when it starts hang

As mentioned before, each unit has a set number of actions they can take in a single term, and these actions are defined by action point. Points can be spent on moving, shooting, throwing grenades, and using abilities. When using an action a certain number of points will be used up, however by performing an execution on an enemy, a player regains action points. Theoretically, if a player chained multiple executions their turn could last fore

However, there is a bit of a setup to perform an execution. First, players will need to cripple enemies by dealing enough damage to an enemy unit that they fall to their knees, but not enough to kill them. Then, a player will have to move a unit to that downed enemy putting themselves in harm's way to perform an execution . Once looming over your enemy's body, switch to your pistol and execute the tar

For some, Gears tactics is plagued with volume changes or inconsistencies, while, for sound, it is either wrong, delayed, or missing sound effects. This is one of the main problems the game suffers from. Audio issues make the sound fade in or out and sometimes even disappear altogether, which is obnoxi
