New Weapons
Alongside this new game mode are a bunch of new weapons just waiting to be tested in Gears of War 4. While only one of them makes an appearance in the multiplayer beta, there is another one confirmed. First off we have the Dropshot. This allows you to fire a drill-bit with an explosive head on it. When you fire it, you’ll hold down the trigger button and guide it just above your opponent and then let go of the trigger to drill into your enemy and blow them up. This is particularly handy when you’ve got an opponent who just refuses to come out of cover as the Dropshot will simply sail on over it.
The other new addition comes in the form of the Buzzkill. This bad boy will shoot sawblades that can ricochet and turn your enemies into a meaty, bloody paste. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Gears game if you couldn’t really show these new Power Weapons off up close and personal somehow …
