Discover game-breaking glitches in Gears of War 3! Learn how to perform the infinite sprint (crab walk) and other useful exploits to dominate your opponents.

Alright, let's talk about some of the more... creative ways to play Gears of War 3. You've probably heard whispers about glitches that can give you an edge, and one of the most famous is the 'Crab Walking' or 'Roadie Running' glitch. It's pretty wild because it lets you sprint indefinitely until you decide to stop. Here's the lowdown: you can't be the host for this to work, and you need to be in cover next to a wall that you can switch between cover points on. While you're holding the Left Stick in the direction of that wall, press and hold A. As you're doing that, smoothly guide the Left Stick downwards in a quarter-circle motion. If you nail it, your character will look like they're running, but they'll be moving at full sprint speed! To everyone else, it looks like you're in a running pose but can still aim and fire. It's called 'crab walking' because, well, it looks a bit like a crab or a bull. This is super useful because you can move in any direction and shoot any weapon without stopping. Just be careful, though! You can get stuck on the wall you used to start the glitch. To get out of it, just press B for a melee or A to dive. Be warned, diving might get you stuck on the nearest wall instead. There are a bunch of other glitches mentioned in the source material, like the 'Weapon Slide' in Gears of War 1, the 'Chainsaw Glitch,' and the 'Kung-Fu Flip,' but the infinite sprint is the one that really lets you run for as long as you want. Just remember, some of these might be patched in later games or might not work if you're the host.
