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
- 1Defend 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.
- 2Once 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.
- 3Find 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.
- 4Another 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.
- 5Engage 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.
- 6The 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.
- 7Find 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.
- 8Proceed 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.
- 9In 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.
