Follow this detailed walkthrough for Gears of War 3's 'Evacuation' chapter, guiding you through defending the zone, finding Echo Squad, and reaching the Vault.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Defend the Evacuation Zone: After a cutscene, you'll be introduced to new characters Alicia Valera, Mihn Young Kim, Tai Kaliso, and Michael Barrick. You'll be swarmed by Drones, Boomers, and Reavers. A hidden area behind you has unlimited ammo, and a ramp to the right leads to a turret. A Longshot and Mortar are also available.
  2. 2
    Once the turret is destroyed, two Emergence Holes (e-holes) will appear. Use grenades to seal them quickly. After about 2 minutes, a HOD command center will become available to use for targeting remaining Locust.
  3. 3
    Find Echo Squad: After defending the zone, break down the gates and proceed through the city. You'll pass a Brumak and a group of Wretches. Follow the hallway on the right.
  4. 4
    Another e-hole will open at the end of the hallway. Deal with it and move into a large area filled with Locust. Echo Squad is in the central circular area.
  5. 5
    Engage the Locust from the central area. Use the sniper rifle on the two snipers located on top of buildings. After the wave, more e-holes will appear.
  6. 6
    The middle area offers cover, but the steps to the building provide better vantage points. The sandbags and crates on the right offer ammo and a Mortar, and serve as a good sniping spot.
  7. 7
    Find the Vault: Enter the burning bank. A metal gate blocks the Vault. To the left, an open door with a blue panel leads to rooms with ammo and a switch to open the gate.
  8. 8
    Proceed down the hallway and be ambushed by Wretches and Grenadiers. Past them, you'll reach the outside of the Vault. Ammo is available in cages.
  9. 9
    In the next area, you'll face another ambush with e-holes and Flame Grenadiers. After defeating them, open the door to the Vault to end the chapter.
Tips
  • The Longshot may not be immediately useful but can be helpful later.
  • Use grenades on Emergence Holes as soon as they appear to prevent more enemies from spawning.
  • The HOD command center is effective for clearing out remaining enemies.
  • Utilize the sniper rifle on elevated targets.
  • The sandbag and crate area on the right offers good cover, ammo, and a Mortar.
