A GoW weapons guide, because sometimes it’s not as easy as cutting butter

Gears of War is the hot game to get this season, and if XBL stats are to be believed, it is one of the main reasons to go on XBL. If you aren’t that confident of your ‘skillz’ or if for some reason you find that racking up those “chainsaw kills” seems a bit too random to you, then perhaps what you’re in need of is some practice time, and a good weapons guide.

Well, thanks to badam, we’ve managed to find one such guide that you guys might find useful. Here’s an excerpt from the weapons guide, this one talks about the oh so tricky Torque Bow:

The Torque is great for mid-to-long range combat, and if you hit a cluster of enemies you could even score multiple kills with one shot. However, Torquers are extremely vulnerable to close-range attacks, due to the bowÂ’s long charge-up and reload times. ItÂ’s useful to carry a shotgun or some sort of close-range backup weapon in case you end up getting caught off-guard.

There are a variety of ways to take out a Torque-wielding enemy. From a distance, the Longshot is your best bet – the rifle’s long-range instant death usually beats the bow’s slow-charging explosive rounds. Up-close, try using your chainsaw – this gives your foe no chance to escape or change weapons.

Use: At mid or long range to blow up an unsuspecting enemy.
DonÂ’t Use: In close-range toe-to-toe combat.

The guide over at Planet GoW is full of when-to and when-not-to tips that you might find helpful when you practice. If you’re interested, feel free to use our read-link below.
