Part 4

Master the challenges of Kryll, Reavers, and Wretches in Gears of War 4. Learn enemy behaviors, weaknesses, and effective strategies for all difficulties, including Insane.

Enemies:

1. Kryll:
   - Appear in Acts 2 and 5.
   - Invincible and lethal on contact; disintegrate players in darkness.
   - Stay in the light and roll between light sources.
   - In Act 5, they form a shield for the final boss.
   - Can be killed in the chapter "Burnt Rubber" at the end of Act 2.
   - On Insane, staying alive is difficult due to their threat.
2. Reavers:
   - Fly swiftly, making them hard targets.
   - Torque Bow is effective.
   - Turret is the best weapon, but only available once.
   - Aim for the Locust rider; killing the Locust kills the Reaver.
   - Mainly appear in Act 5.
   - On Insane, the Turret section on the train is exceedingly difficult, best managed in Co-Op.
3. Wretches:
   - Easily killed with Lancer or Shotgun.
   - Can sometimes be trapped behind walls.
   - On Insane, they are a major pain due to one-hit kills, large groups, speed, and increased damage resistance.
4. Luminous Wretches:
   - Explode when killed (except with the chainsaw); be cautious.
   - On Insane, their explosions are a significant threat, making shotguns less effective. It's better to engage from a distance.
   - The pistol becomes useful on Insane for engaging them from afar.

Bosses:

Bosses are covered in the chapters where they are encountered. Specific bosses mentioned are Berserker (1, 2, 3), Corpser, and General RAAM. Use CTRL-F with their respective codes (e.g., "BERS1", "CRPSR", "GRAAM") to find detailed strategies.

Weapons (BAS4):

Personal Set-up (Hardcore and Lower Difficulties):

• Primary: Shotgun (quick close-range defense, better than chainsaw due to no rev-up time or loss if shot)
• Secondary: Lancer (good range, fast reload, useful for picking off enemies; chainsaw for emergencies)
• Grenades: Bolo Grenades (effective against Locust Emergence Holes, sealing them; conserve for this or groups of enemies)
• Pistol: Magnum (most powerful pistol, though less useful on easier difficulties)

Other Useful Weapons:

• Torque Bow: Unbelievably useful against RAAM. Hold R to charge; release to fire. Insufficient charge results in weak shots; overcharging fires automatically.
• Longshot: A good alternative to the Lancer, and THE weapon to use on Insane difficulty.
