20 MORE Video Game Bosses That Forced You To CHEAT

9. Uzil RAAM - Gears Of War

General Uzil RAAM serves as the main villain of the original Gears of War. The leader of The Locust Horde has all the characteristics of an antagonist, since he's tactical, calculating, and cruel.

For this reason, you wouldn't expect RAAM to be described as a "pushover". However, that's exactly what he is, if you play your cards right.

In the final stage, Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago confront their arch-nemesis on a train. Getting near RAAM isn't a good idea since he's heavily armoured and his machine gun will pulverise the heroes in an instant. 

Even though RAAM has a knack for targeting his enemies, he won't be able to if Marcus and Dominic hide behind the concrete block on the top right. From this position, you can safely chip away at RAAM once his shield has dispersed. If you line up your sight perfectly, RAAM can be killed in seconds, with zero chance of him returning fire.

This exploit is harder to pull off in the 2025 remake, but is still more reliable than fighting General RAAM the old fashioned way.
