Learn how to defeat aggressive Bloodmounts and Elite Therons in Gears of War 3, including using the Silverback against Gas Barges.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In the next area, face an onslaught of Elite Therons, some riding Bloodmounts. Bloodmounts attack with their feet and are ridden by Elite Therons.
  2. 2
    To the right of the area, find a small garage containing a Silverback.
  3. 3
    Use the Silverback to deal with the next area, which is flooded with Elite Therons, Grenadier Elites, and two Kantus locust on a ship containing fuel.
  4. 4
    Prioritize taking out the aggressive Bloodmounts and their riders, then eliminate any locust on the ship's turret.
  5. 5
    Use the Silverback to quickly move to the switch that moves the ramp to its side.
  6. 6
    Board the ship and defeat the locust.
  7. 7
    Go to the small office behind the ship to pull the switch that moves the fuel.
  8. 8
    After this, a Gas Barge will arrive and drop more enemies. The Gas Barge can destroy your Silverback, so use the ship's gun turret instead, and be mindful of its rockets.
  9. 9
    Reavers and more Bloodmounts will join the fight. You will have no (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)) once on the turret. Use the Silverback when Bloodmounts rush you.
  10. 10
    After the battle, exit through the doors next to the office to return to the submarine. You cannot take the Silverback with you.
  11. 11
    OBJECTIVE: Find the sub rotor
  12. 12
    Immediately to your right, you will find an unlimited ammo supply. Replenish your weapons.
  13. 13
    Enter the next area to fight Wretches and Tickers. Use the Chainsaw for Wretches and melee then shoot Tickers on the ground.
  14. 14
    Once all Wretches and Tickers are defeated, garage doors to the right will open, revealing more random Locusts and Shriekers. Two enemies will be on turrets at the far end.
  15. 15
    Push the carts containing fuel tanks down the rail to destroy each turret. Be aware that the turrets can explode the tanks.
  16. 16
    If the turrets are destroyed, you must either borrow a sniper from Jace or Sam, or quickly rush under the turrets without being shot. Borrowing a sniper is the recommended option.
  17. 17
    After returning inside, going up the elevator, and exiting again, you will find more Elite Therons across the port, a Boomer on the left, a Grinder on the right, and more Shriekers.
  18. 18
    A Kantus at the top of the ship will continually shoot from a distance, stunning you. Be cautious of this when fighting other enemies.
  19. 19
    Defeat the Therons and Shriekers first, then the Grinder on the right.
  20. 20
    Finally, eliminate the Kantus at the top of the ship before engaging the Boomer.
  21. 21
    After a few minutes, another Gas Barge will appear across the ship and drop off numerous Therons.
Tips
  • Bloodmounts attack by walking on their arms and using their feet.
  • The Silverback is a large, slow target, making the ship's turret a threat.
  • The Chainsaw is highly effective against Wretches.
  • Meleeing Tickers and then shooting them on the ground is an effective tactic.
  • Pushing fuel tank carts down the rail is a way to destroy turrets.
  • If turrets are destroyed, borrowing a sniper is a safer alternative to rushing under them.
  • The Kantus on the ship can stun you from long range, making close combat dangerous.
