Gears of War/Weapons



Locust Machine Gun

The Hammerburst is the primary weapon of the Locust Drone. It fires six round bursts and is most effective at mid-range. It lacks the bayonet of the Lancer, but can still be used for an faster melee attack. The Hammerburst is also more accurate than the lancer; especially during blind firing. Ammuntition for the Hammerburst is easily found as most Locust you kill will carry one. Offline (but online in particular) you will find the Hammerburst to be more powerful when fired than the Lancer, but the inconveniences of taking time out to pick it up and the loss of a threatening melee prove this weapon to be useless to many players.
