The heavy weapons section is anything that the Gears can pick up, but can’t necessarily stow away on their person. Its insane fire rate also makes it great for dishing out damage to enemies at close-range as a last ditch attempt. It packs a serious punch, has a fairly large clip size, and you can even zoom in with it for a more accurate shot.Īs for the Talon Pistol, this is the new automatic / machine pistol in Gears 5 that’s great to use in short bursts to keep smaller enemies at bay. Not a whole lot needs to be said about the Boltok Pistol to those who are familiar with it from past games in the series. There are only really two pistols that can be deemed good choices in Gears 5, and we’ve gone for the Boltok Pistol and Talon Pistol. Plus, it’s ‘ready’ to fire far faster than the Torque Bow due to its charge-up time. Simply put, you can’t beat this classic sniper, with an incredibly satisfying and powerful damage stat and insane accuracy. Rounding out our pick of the best guns in Gears 5 would be the Longshot. The Gnasher is the go-to close-range weapon to use in Gears 5, with explosive damage, a solid clip size, and average reload time. While the Overkill tries to nab the shotgun crown from the Gnasher, we’re still happy with the old familiar.
