Part 4

Navigate the challenges of Gears of War Part 4. Learn enemy weaknesses like Kryll, Reavers, and Wretches, and master weapon loadouts for Insane difficulty.

Enemies:

1. Kryll: Appear in Acts 2 and 5. Invincible and lethal. Stay in the light; they disintegrate you in darkness. Can be killed in the chapter "Burnt Rubber" at the end of Act 2. On Insane, they are a constant survival threat.
2. Reavers: Fly swiftly, making them hard targets. The Torque Bow is effective. The Turret is the best weapon but only available once. Aim for the Locust rider to kill the Reaver. Primarily appear in Act 5. On Insane, the Turret section on the train is extremely difficult, best tackled in Co-Op.
3. Wretches and Luminous Wretches:
   
   • Wretches: Easily dispatched with the Lancer or Shotgun. Can sometimes be trapped behind walls. On Insane, they are fast, numerous, and can kill in one hit.
   • Luminous Wretches: Similar to Wretches but explode upon death (unless killed with the chainsaw). This makes shotguns risky; use pistols from a distance. On Insane, they are a significant threat due to their explosions.

Bosses: Bosses are covered in the chapters they appear in. Specific bosses like the Berserker, Corpser, and General RAAM can be found using CTRL-F searches.

Weapons (BAS4):

Personal Set-up (Hardcore and Lower):

• Primary: Shotgun (quick to use, better than chainsaw for emergencies)
• Secondary: Lancer (good range, fast reload, Active Reloads are key. Chainsaw for emergencies. Longshot is a good alternative, essential on Insane)
• Grenades: Bolo Grenades (best for sealing Locust Emergence Holes and groups of enemies)
• Pistol: Magnum (most powerful pistol, useful on easier difficulties)

Reasoning: Shotgun is reliable for close encounters. Bolo Grenades are crucial for controlling enemy spawns. The Magnum is powerful but less critical on higher difficulties. The Lancer offers versatility in range and reload speed. The chainsaw is a last resort. The Longshot is vital for Insane difficulty.

Other Useful Weapons:

• Torque Bow: Hold R to charge, release to fire. Holding R too long fires automatically. Insufficient charge results in a weak shot. Unbelievably useful against RAAM.
