The biggest differences have come in the form of little cosmetics (Marcus has a bandana, Dom... does not) and what weapons the player tends to prefer - of which, to the games credit, there are many.

The new take on the series has landed with mostly favorable reviews , applauding its commitment to a complete gameplay overhaul. Here are five of the best things about the new game, and five of the wo


In Gear Tactics , in order to kill the enemies and increase the levels of gameplay with time, one needs to know the different monster behaviors Warfare And Geomancy Skills how to take them down, which upgrades are more important than the others, the weapons you need and some tricks and tips if you're looking forward to winning over Gear Tactics . To help you win the game, here is the list of the top powerful weapons that you should know in Gear Tacti


Two skills that every Vanguard should consider are Intimidate and Hunker Down. Available before getting too deep into specialization, these skills are both endlessly useful in nearly every combat situation. The massive 40% evasion bonus granted to the soldier chosen by the Vanguard to Hunker down is more or less an effective shield, while Intimidates double whammy of breaking enemy overwatch while simultaneously forcing them from cover is useful both for pushing advances and breaking tight opposing formati


The move pays off here. The game is well-designed, has great strategy elements, and most importantly, is fun to play. Admittedly a little surprising, but the team behind Gears Tactics has made a worthwhile addition to the action franch


Though there are many ways to play the Scout, the class is somewhat unique in how all four of its specialization trees contribute to the making of an expert ambush predator. The skills come together to emphasize speed and stealth, amplifying the cloak while offering a treasure trove of ways to put the hurt on the Locusts. Some particular standouts that can be immensely useful for top tier smash-and-dash approaches are Escape Route, Demolition expert, and Anticipation. Escape Route is ideal for finishing blows that would otherwise be high risk - having cloak pop immediately after executing a downed enemy makes for a scout who can make a dynamic hit with little risk of retaliation. Demolition expert is the trapper's choice, allowing the Scout to plant grenades and proximity mines while remaining hidden. Plant bombs, duck out of dodge, take shots, watch the fireworks - easy money. Using Anticipation can allow these skills, and as many others as the imagination will allow, to be used in fatal unity. Starting the round with five moves allows for some truly complex strategies to be enacted, shifting the challenge from limited resources to the limit of the player's creativity, which is, of course, a great place to be. It is also worthwhile to pick up Ambush and Free Cloak to boost the Cloak and Obfuscate to share its effects with the team. Never hurts to be invisible in a gunfi


In most squads, the Vanguard is going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. A multipurpose fighter comfortable anywhere from middle to relatively close range, players are likely to keep them on the front lines at all times. Conveniently, Vanguards happen to have a well-rounded skill tree that allows them to adapt to fill in any holes in a team composit


Lastly, it is important to know your enemy. There are four different classes of enemies in Tactics, and each one has their own abilities and stats. It is important to learn what classes look like and what they do before rushing into battle because some enemies are more dangerous than others. Knowing how to defeat a certain type of enemy before engaging can give the player an upper h


It is also important to note that not all cover is the same. Some cover is made out of wood or other destructible material which means if that cover takes enough damage it will break and leave your unit vulnerable. Metal cover and other indestructible covers are preferred as players can safely hide behind them without the enemy being able to break thro


Though the standard three action points each character has available can feel quite limiting, it is helpful to remember that there are several ways to get more out of each point. One way to do this is to take full advantage of cover. In Gears Tactics , ending a movement action in cover will reduce the point cost, meaning that it is wise to plan moves from defensive point to defensive point to make the most of movement. Additionally, take full advantage of the execution mechanic: finishing off a downed enemy will award the executioner's squad an action point, adding some much-needed versatility.

Luckily, in addition to taking the series into a whole new genre, turn-based tactical shooter **Gears Tactics ** has heartily embraced the idea of free and individualized choice.
