Gears Of War 4 Review: 7 Ups & 7 Downs

4. The Bada** New Weapons

Demented weaponry has always been a major winner for the Gears franchise, and GoW4 is no exception. The most memorable new weapons are without question the Dropshot, which fires bombs towards enemies that detonate downward on top of them, and the Buzzkill, a saw blade-launcher which gives the player devastating and hilarious possibilities to rack up some sick deflection-based kills.

They're also potent weapons in the hands of your enemies, but if there's one disappointment here, it's that these two weapons in particular appear rather infrequently throughout the game, so make the most of them whenever you in fact see them.
