Learn about the Butcher Cleaver in Gears of War 3, a portable cover item usable with handguns.

The Butcher Cleaver is not a weapon that deals damage to enemies. Instead, it functions as a piece of portable cover (a temporary shield that can be moved). It can withstand any attack, even a direct hit from a Boomshot. You can only use handguns while the Butcher Cleaver is equipped.
