Complete walkthrough for Part 17 of Gears of War 4, covering the Kryll highway chase and the Last Stand sniper section. Tips for Insane difficulty included.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin by driving on the highway. You'll encounter Kryll. Press X to switch between driving and firing the UV Turret. Kill the Kryll that appear after the first corner from a clocktower.
  2. 2
    Continue on the highway, hopping over a broken section and navigating around rubble. More Kryll will emerge from a building on your right; eliminate them.
  3. 3
    More Kryll will appear on the right; deal with them. Be aware of Kryll attacking from behind if you linger too long.
  4. 4
    You'll reach a point where you must smash through rubble. After this, you can go around to the right, followed by a jump off a small broken section.
  5. 5
    A building directly ahead will be swarming with Kryll. Destroy them all.
  6. 6
    More Kryll will come from behind. If you've cleared the front, turn around when the attendant says "SIX O' CLOCK!" and eliminate the threat.
  7. 7
    An off-ramp to the right is ahead. Take it and follow the small road until you can't go further.
  8. 8
    Make a right. You'll reach an underpass. Kryll will emerge from a building ahead and to the left; fire to take them out.
  9. 9
    Make a right, another right, and a third right to return to the highway.
  10. 10
    This is where you can choose to run for the end. Smash through all rubble, hit jumps, and burn rubber until the end-of-chapter cutscene.
  11. 11
    Last Stand Section: Head down the walkway. A doorway on your left contains regenerating ammo boxes and a Longshot. Pick up the Longshot.
  12. 12
    Engage distant Locusts using the Longshot. Avoid using the Lancer or the turret at the end of the walkway as they are less effective.
  13. 13
    At the end of the walkway, behind a broken wall, you'll find a Longshot and grenades.
  14. 14
    Shoot out of one of the windows in the room with the burning toilet to deal with the first enemies and an Emergence Hole.
  15. 15
    Two Locusts are on the roof directly ahead. Zoom in with the Longshot to spot them.
  16. 16
    Use the Y button to locate the next Emergence Hole and snipe from behind cover. Replenish ammo from the regenerating boxes inside the building if needed.
  17. 17
    Slightly left of the emergence hole, a sniper is in a hole in the wall. You can shoot the roof to make it cave in or snipe him directly.
  18. 18
    When enemies come from buildings on the far right, hide behind a low wall or the broken wall and snipe them.
  19. 19
    At the second checkpoint, a Boomer appears. Headshot it and then kill its minions hiding in buildings.
  20. 20
    When Boomers appear behind you, look for a giant rolling barrel. Shoot the propane tank beneath it to cause an explosion that crushes the Boomers.
Tips
  • Insane Difficulty: On the highway, kill everything on the first highway and normal road, then RUN on the second highway. This chapter is incredibly difficult on Insane; you'll likely finish with very little health.
  • Junker Controls: Press X to switch between driving and firing the UV Turret.
  • Last Stand Weapon Choice: The Longshot is highly recommended for the Last Stand section due to the long-range enemies.
  • Ammo Regeneration: Ammo boxes in the Last Stand section regenerate, so don't be afraid to use them.
  • Boomer Encounter: Use the environment (propane tank) to your advantage against the Boomers.
