How to Kill General RAAM in Gears of War, Part 1

One of the head honchos of the locust armies and the big boss of the game, General RAAM is a piece of work. He’s surrounded by Kryll, carries a Troika machine gun and acts extremely unpleasant. Before you charge in to meet him, there’s a few things you should know.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Keep a torque bow for the fight. It will make the job easier.
2. Bring a friend! This fight is considerably easier if you have another player to assist, rather than the computer-controlled Dom.
3. Be prepared to reload your game a lot, especially if you’re going solo.
4. Grab the sniper rifle that pops up in the train car right before the big fight. You’ll need it, even if you already have the torque bow.
5. Use the sniper rifle and a lancer if you don’t have a torque bow. Ditch the shotgun and hammerburst if you’re carrying either one.
6. Make sure you’re full up on grenades. You’ll need them.
7. If, by some miracle, you still have a boomshot with ammunition left over, bring it.
