Gears of War Guide: Bloodiest Weapons

HAMMER OF DAWN

In a game jam-packed with unique - and uniquely gruesome - weaponry, it takes a very special device to win the prize for most original. Meet your champion. Now run away.

The best description for the Hammer of Dawn we've run across is "thing that calls a giant laser from space." Yup, that about sums it up. It's the Hammer's apocalyptic wake, however, that defies words. Incineration? Well, bodies do seem to instantaneously transform into ashy shells of their former selves... yet they also manage to produce a shower of blood and guts at the same time. Radiation? Perhaps... there's definitely some unnatural cooking going on before the splat.

Whatever's going on is weird and macabrely wonderful. Just be careful when enjoying because...

I enjoy sunshine, the company of kittens and turning frowns upside down. I am also a fan of sarcasm. Let's be friends!
