Gears of War eGuide Co-Op Strategy

Act 5: Desperation

Tyro Station

Recon

Use the upturned vehicles for cover from the Snipers, and listen for the sound of the approaching train.
  • Have one player take the right and the other take the left as you approach the station. Although this puts you farther apart in case you have to revive each other, it allows you to quickly eliminate the Snipers and gain a perfect position to close the Emergence Holes as they open.

Tyro Pillar

Recon

The crates and large industrial spools provide plenty of cover for Marcus and Dom while they advance to the front of the train.
The Lightmass Bomb at the front of the train is Delta Squad’s ultimate goal.
  • Although the scene that involves a dozen Reavers is challenging when you play alone, having both players rush to separate Troikas across the train car’s roof is a big advantage. Conserve your Torquebow ammunition—use the Troikas to down each of the Reavers as it appears.
  • When it’s time to fight RAAM, have one player collect as much Longshot ammo as possible while the other does the same for the Torquebow. Stay together throughout the fight. Have the player with the Torquebow use it to scare off the Kryll that surround RAAM. With the Kryll scared away, both players can unload on RAAM with their long-range weaponry. Continue doing this until RAAM approaches your cover. Then hurdle it and Roadie Run side-by-side to the barrier at the other end. Take cover behind it and continue the fight.
