The Hammer of Dawn is an Imulsion-energized satellite particle-beam weapon capable of leveling buildings.  It must be orbitally aligned overhead to fire.  Your HQ contact lets you know when it is available.  The Hammer requires a ground-based observer to acquire a target with a targeting laser.  To do this, a Coalition soldier(Gear) must have line of site on the target and open sky.  Press the left trigger to aim, then the right trigger to fire.  Firing the hammer of dawn takes several seconds for the beams to align and fire, and if you are standing too close to the target, you risk becomming a casualty yourself.

The Hammer of Dawn is the only weapon in the COG aresenal that can defeat a [[Berzerker]]. Once the Berzerker's defences has been compromised with the Hammer, it can be attacked with conventional weapons for a short time.
The primary COG weapon, the [[Lancer]]. This is the workhorse of the COG army.  It is intended for mid-range combat, but features a chainsaw bayonet for when you feel like getting up close and personal.  Press and hold the melee(B) button to activate.  If you take damage while using the chainsaw, it will stop running and you will need to press B again to start it.
 
When attempting to use the chainsaw bayonet, it's best to rev it and then run into the enemy. While the chainsaw is revved, the controls change to make it easier to look around while still holding B. You use the left stick to move forward and backward as normal, but you also look left and right using the left stick. This is quite useful for when your enemy moves to the side while you're trying to chainsaw them.
