Low Power Shot allows you to aim freely but does low damage. High Power Shot will shoot in a straight line and does a lot of damage, accuracy is an issue. You can pick up the weapon from a Theron Gaurd corpse. The bow shoots explosive projectiles to do AoE damage. The unit uses Torque Bows and their ability to make units vulnerable which means your unit will take 25% more damage. They are one of the most dangerous enemy units in Gears Tactics. Theron Gaurd enemy unit is not something to take lightly. Keep in mind that Ticker will charge you if you miss a shot, it is easier to kill them with Overwatch ability. You can also shoot them and cause an explosion. You will need to have the Ticker kick ability though. They are great if you want to clear adds, you can use their explosion against their own friends. The good news is that you can kick the Ticker back into an enemy mob before it explodes. Tickers will explode when they come near you and in most cases, your soldier will die. The weapon is quite useful against bosses like Brumak and Hydra. The good news is that once you manage to kill one you can use the Boomshot yourself. The Boomshot launcher has great range and arcing shot so be very careful when Boomers are on the battlefield. It takes a lot of firepower to take them down and heavy class is most effective against this enemy. Boomer is an enemy unit that is slow but uses the Boomshot launcher that can blow you away. Now we are getting to the tougher enemy units in Gears Tactics. The one who is targeted will have limited movement range and gets damaged significantly if it moves. The pinned ability targets only one character at a time. Otherwise, it becomes really hard to get close to them and attack. It is next to impossible to rush them during battle so your best bet is to have your own sniper unit that can take them down. This enemy unit doesn’t have a lot of health but its pinned ability will pin your units in place. If I had to name one enemy unit that is extremely annoying, it is Sniper Drone. It may take multiple shots before the Grenadier unit goes down in Gears Tactics. The best way to kill a Grenadier enemy unit is with Vanguard’s Lancer. Grenadiers have an opportunity attack so they will blast you if you get too close. One shotgun blast will cut your health down to 25 to 30%. Grenadiers use shotguns that do a lot of damage to your units. These are powerful enemies in Gears Tactics. They are extremely annoying during boss fights so pick them off as early as possible. Being overwhelmed by them is an easy recipe for disaster. While they are easy to take down, do not take them lightly in they are in numbers. Hammerburst Drone uses rifles that do a good amount of damage if there multiple targeting you at the same time. If you have a bayonet you can easily rush them and go for the kill. Hammerburst Drone is my second favorite enemy unit in the game. The trick is to avoid being overwhelmed by them. You can take down packs of these enemies by using a frag grenade or overwatch. The Wretches will also seize the opportunity to perform a melee attack whenever you are in melee range. They look like little bugs and they try to do melee damage whenever possible. The best part about the Wretches is that they have low health which makes them an easy to take down enemy unit in Gears Tactics. We will start off with my favorite enemy type in Gears Tactics, the Wretches, these little creatures are easier to kill than others which makes them my favorite because others are a pain in my backside.
