Learn about the Scope's incredible stopping power and accuracy in Gears of War 3, including its iron sight aiming.

The Scope weapon in Gears of War 3 is slower than the Lancer but significantly more powerful and accurate. Its stopping power is incredible, and a new feature for Gears of War 3 allows you to aim down the sight (ADS) of the weapon, greatly improving your aim. Similar to the Snub pistol, if you tap the RT button quickly, you can increase the weapon's rate of fire to deal more damage.

A notable drawback of the Scope is that you constantly have to pull the RT trigger, which can make it a chore to handle. It also lacks the instant melee power found on other rifles. However, it does avoid the negative stun effect you get when shot while attempting a close-range melee attack.

Tips
  • Tap RT quickly for a higher rate of fire.
  • Aiming down the sight greatly improves accuracy.
  • The weapon excels in stopping power.
