Learn about the Polyps, a new enemy in Gears of War 3. They are like Lambent Tickers and explode on death.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Polyps are essentially a Lambent (a type of enemy) version of a Ticker (an enemy from Gears of War 2).
  2. 2
    They can be killed with a single shot.
  3. 3
    Upon death, they explode but do not self-destruct like Tickers. However, they do jump far.
  4. 4
    The Lancer Assault Rifle is ideal for dealing with Polyps because it conserves ammunition if you lightly tap the Right Trigger and hold it down.
  5. 5
    Continue up the steps, eliminating more Polyps as you advance until you reach the outside area.
Tips
  • Use the Lancer Assault Rifle with controlled bursts (lightly tapping the Right Trigger and holding it down) to conserve ammo against Polyps.
  • Be aware that Polyps jump far, so maintain distance when possible.
