Like, I chose to play the Tutorial at the beginning. This Chainsaw seems like a pretty critical piece of the gameplay loop, but at no point has there been an explicit explanation or demonstration.
If you hold b it revs, and then you just run into an enemy without taking damage or you’ll just stand there looking silly.
So on PS5, it’s the O button, and X is run. I need to press both at the same time?
Sorry, I meant you can just walk into them. It’ll stay revved and ready to chainsaw as long as you hold the button until you get hit.
Doesn’t need a run button. And, something kind of useful is that while revving, the game changes from strafe controls to tank controls, making it easier to orient at an enemy around a corner since you can’t reach your camera thumbstick.
When it’s equipped, you just use your melee button, which ought to be B, if memory serves.
I’m not too heavy into gears of war lore but I would assume the Retro Lancer, which has a bayonet in lieu of a chainsaw and was introduced in Gears of War 3, was the precursor to the modern lancer.
thank you. FINALLY. These guys have like no academic curiosity.
