Gears tactics locust4/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, if they miss (and they might due to low accuracy with shotguns), prepare to have a ticking timebomb explode in your face. Scouts perform admirably if you want to do a kick-then-shotgun combo. One more thing: Tickers will advance towards your character’s position if they miss a shot, so it’s easier to kill them via overwatch rather than risking a miss or partial hit. Then, go ahead and shoot them to cause mayhem in your opponent’s ranks. Assuming they haven’t reached close range yet to automatically go boom, you can also kick them towards other mobs. In most cases, this can mean certain death for your soldiers. When close, they’ll explode for massive damage, hitting anyone within the blast radius. They can cover a lot of distance just like Wretches so they can get near you. You’ll learn to both love, and hate, these little jerks. It’s only got two ammo, so make them count. Once you kill it, though, you can pick up the launcher and use it against your foes. This is due to the grenade launcher’s ridiculous range and arcing shot. They’re definitely more impactful than an internet meme that lasted a month, so you’re going to need a lot of firepower to take them out or a Heavy class who can chew through them with the Mulcher.Īlso, unlike most enemies in Gears Tactics, Boomers tend to fire their weapon at a target once they spawn. These big boys are slow-moving, tough as nails, and are armed with the Boomshot grenade launcher. As such, it’s important to keep moving to grab chests until your squad reaches the extraction point. Each turn, Nemacysts will rain down from the sky and explode, causing a ton of damage to anything caught in the red zone. They do play an important role in one mission type: Scavenger. Like Reavers, Nemacysts can’t be targeted since they’re high up in the air. He’ll likely get annihilated if I move him, so I’ll have to snipe using Mikayla Dorn instead: You can see an example below where Augustus Cole (a pre-order DLC character) is pinned down. If a character is targetted and they so much as move (or use any ability that triggers overwatch), they’re in for a world of hurt, and even their movement range is lowered. Unlike the regular overwatch that friendlies and hostiles can use, the Sniper Drone’s overwatch ability only focuses on one target at a time. Oh, and they can also pin down your troopers. Otherwise, you’re going to have a slog just to get closer to them with your other soldiers. You likely won’t even be able to rush up to them to use your bayonet or chainsaw, so your only recourse would be to have your own Sniper class who can take them out. These baddies don’t have a lot of health, but they’re extremely deadly due to their range. You might need to fire several shots with the Vanguard’s Lancer weapon just to take them down. They can cut you down to low health in one blast, and they also have an opportunity attack (another shotgun blast) if you get too close. These brutes pack a punch due to their shotguns. The good thing is that their low health means you can decimate entire packs via overwatch or a well-placed grenade. They also have an opportunity attack that triggers when you get to melee range. These little critters will try to slash and slice you to pieces. But, because they’re high up in the air, you can’t target them, and it’s almost impossible to predict where they’d drop hostiles on the battlefield. They’ll spawn new Locust Horde enemies just like Emergence Holes. ![]() Note: You can also find Reavers in Gears Tactics. If it’s already open, you’ll need to throw a grenade (or shoot a grenade using the Boomshot or Torque Bow).The tunnel will explode and collapse once enemies start spawning. If it’s still closed, plant your frag grenade on top of it or use a proximity mine and get out of there quickly.Here are two ways to completely collapse the tunnel: Much later in Gears Tactics‘ campaign, E-Holes will even spawn tougher monsters like Disciples or Boomers. You’ll want to keep it covered with overwatch to handle threats for a while, but be forewarned that you can get overwhelmed. After this, Locust Horde baddies will start spewing forth each turn. These E-Holes are only dormant for a turn once they appear on the map. While technically not an enemy unit in Gears Tactics, the Emergence Holes or E-Holes will definitely pester you. If you have a bayonet or chainsaw attack readied, you can rush them to proc effects from the skill. They’re armed with rifles, but they’re also total chumps. These are the first Locust Horde enemies you encounter in Gears Tactics.

Here’s our guide on enemy unit abilities and how to take them out. Many of these are familiar to long-time Gears of War fans, but a few have been engineered by the Locust geneticist Ukkon. Gears Tactics boasts a slew of enemies that are part of the Locust Horde. ![]()
