Gears Of War Cheats (PC)

Once you get the Torque Bow, wait until you see groups of Locusts, then shoot one in the
head. After you wait a few seconds, it should blow up and kill all or most of them.

Successfully complete Campaign mode on the Casual or Hardcore difficulty setting to unlock
Insane difficulty setting.

When an Emergence Hole opens up, toss a grenade into it. This will automatically close the
hole, and therefore keep the locusts from coming out.


The Hammer Of Dawn can easily destroy Emergence Holes. You must activate it by
targeting an enemy first, and then aim it toward the Emergence Hole.

Fire a Torque Bow arrow into an Emergence Hole. This is somewhat challenging to do,
due to the straight line of fire given by the bow. However, if you are close enough to
fire while the line of fire is arced, it is possible to make it into the hole. A Torque
Arrow stuck in the top of the hole will close it as well.

In Act 1: Ashes - Wrath, you will have to go up a set of stairs to get to the roof of the
building. On the roof there will be Troikas and you must pick off the Locusts down on the
landing zone. Near the Troika directly in front of the steps, where there is a Locust
already running it, is a Hammer Of Dawn hidden in the grass. You can use the Hammer Of
Dawn to kill all of the Locust on the ground.

In Campaign mode, look for the dead soldier symbol (red gear with skull inside) painted on
a wall, floor, or other location. This indicates that the Locust have killed some Gear
soldiers in the area. Because Gear soldiers wear C.O.G. tags, you should be able to find
one nearby.

safe zone to easily pick them off. Once it is clear, just revive your partner and move on.

The chainsaw on your Lancer has the ability to cut through many things if you get close to
it and start it up. This includes doors, walls, and boxes.
