Learn about the Wild Tickers and how to defeat the Brumak boss in Gears of War 3. Includes tips for the Siege beast.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Walk forward past flames to encounter Wild Tickers. They are harmless but eat weapons off the ground. Killing them drops the weapon. If they eat a grenade, they explode.
  2. 2
    Kill the fast Wild Tickers with your Boltok pistol and pick up the Lancer from the ground.
  3. 3
    Around the corner, find a Gnasher and a Snub pistol before entering an open field.
  4. 4
    Take cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (a defensive position) and eliminate the Locusts emerging from the ground.
  5. 5
    A large ship piece will be knocked over by Savage Locusts. Hop over it.
  6. 6
    Enter another field with Savage Locusts, triggering a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (an in-game cinematic).
  7. 7
    After regaining control of Marcus Fenix, take cover behind the second set of sandbags.
  8. 8
    Eliminate Locusts and Savage Boomers equipped with Digger Launchers, which can attack from behind cover.
  9. 9
    Locate and eliminate a sniper on the broken bridge in the background.
  10. 10
    Acquire a Digger Launcher if desired.
  11. 11
    Proceed towards the Siege beast and eliminate its crew.
  12. 12
    Use the Siege beast (a Locust catapult) to lob bombs at two other Siege beasts and a Brumak. Two hits should easily kill the Brumak.
  13. 13
    Follow the path and find Anya and Jace on the other side of some rocks.
  14. 14
    After defeating all enemies, a cutscene will play, followed by more enemies and the second boss battle.

BOSS: BRUMAK

  1. Fight the Brumak on foot.
  2. Near the back of the area, find an infinite ammo pickup and cover.
  3. Focus fire on the giant rocket launcher on the Brumak's back for the most damage.
  4. You can also shoot the guns on its arms if they are problematic.
  5. Eliminate any Savage Drones or Grenadiers that emerge from the ground. There are 8 teammates to help.
  6. Defeating the Brumak and its supporting enemies concludes the chapter.
Tips
  • Wild Tickers can explode if they eat a grenade.
  • Digger Launchers can attack you from behind cover.
  • The Siege beast can be used to destroy other Siege beasts and a Brumak.
  • Focus fire on the Brumak's rocket launcher for maximum damage.
  • Savage Drones and Grenadiers are easily dispatched with the help of 8 teammates.
