Gears of War/Act Two: Nightfall

Outpost
Other than Franklin telling you the mission to get to the gas station, there is not much to do here. Just bust through into the house on the left near the fire. Work your way through it.

Cross The River To Checkpoint 1
You and Dom battle your way through the darkness past a few Drones and Snipers. Grab the Sniper's Longshot, you can use it later. Meet Dom at the Ferry to get across the river.

Once on the Ferry you must crank the ferry along the ropes using the A Button. Do this as quick as you can so you can reach the other side while Dom defends you both.

Once on the other side as you approach checkpoint one their lights go out and they are destroyed by the Kryll. Load up on the ammo around this area and continue on to Checkpoint 2.
