Mastering The Gorgon Pistol in Gears of War 2

by LockDown on Jun.19, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

This weapon has become my new favorite toy. Its power is extremely underestimated, and that fact alone makes me enjoy the weapon, when people see you with it they rush you or don’t take you seriously. Then bam you own their face! Lets nail down the specs:

stats-weap-gorgon

  • Ammo Capacity- 20 rounds
  • Trigger Pulls – 4
  • Effective range – 0m-40m
  • Accurate Range – 0m-55m
  • Active Reload – 20% Damage Increase

First of all setting up the active reload on this gun is terribly hard until you adjust to it. IT is extremely slow, it is by far the slowest Active in the game. While I’m talking about the downsides, since the active reload timer is so far back, it means the 4 trigger pulls you get are important. Because one miss, and your in trouble, that puts you so much closer to having to reload, and as we all know people are sitting ducks in fights while reloading, especially on a gun that reloads this slow.

Now on to the good stuff, this pistol is more powerful than the boltok in a fire fight, since it’s a five bullet burst, its more likely to do damage to multiple foes. Couple with a shield, some serious wall bouncing skills, or amazing accuracy this weapon is insane. Also the hip fire on the weapon is fairly accurate, it its essentially the center of your screen.  Meleeing with this weapon is just as fast as other pistols, and one melee, then one trigger pull will down people, especially actived. This weapon is simply astounding.

Techniques

The 1-2
  • Its exactly what the shotgun the shotgun’s 1-2 is, melee and fire, the blind fire is just as accurate as aiming.
The Shadow Strike
  • Just like the HammerBurst, a double melee, mixed with some impressive wall bouncing, and since its blind fire is extremely powerful, wall bouncing around with blind fire can be effective too.

Tips

BoomShield
  • Equip this weapon and walk it up firing the entire way to your opponent, if you run into trouble, press left or right on the pad, it drops the shield at the fastest rate. The meat shield can be used the same way, just monitor your head a s a weak point, or the fact that your body might fall apart on you.  Now with the BoomShield, make sure you keep it up and fire a lot, don’t try and melee your opponent if there is more than 1 or 2 it leaves you open to extreme fire.
Cover Fire
  • When you fire over obstacles without aiming its fairly on key, so if you see someone running at you and you cant afford to be open you can do this, and it works great
Stopping the Bull
  • For anyone charging directly at you, just aim and fire, keep it on lock and ensure your bullets hit, anyone foolish enough to keep charging will fall quickly.
