Gears of War 3 Beta Tips/Tricks/Glitches (Post Here)

So I decided to make a thread for the purpose of sharing glitches, easter eggs, tips, tricks, etc.

So feel free to post and I’ll add it as we learn.

Glitches
-Currently none.

Tricks
Trading weapons:
-To trade ammo or a weapon with a team mate simply take your gun you want to trade aim down the sights towards your team mate and hit “X” this will initiate the trade, your partner can then accept or decline your offer.

Tips:
-On Thrashball controlling the area where the mortar and turret spawn, will render you a great setup in any game mode.

Tips:
-On close range maps don’t stand still and use the gnasher shotgun or the Retro lancer you will find that you will be getting more kills.

Trick:
-On Thrashball by shooting the ropes that hold up the scoreboard in the center you can cause it to fall down, also killing anyone underneath. Shoot the ropes until only one is left, and wait to splice the other until you have an unsuspecting victim underneath.

Trick:
-Plant grenades on walls, extremely effective like Claymores!

Tip:
-Remember to dodge roll, if you confuse him he can’t really kill you.

Tips: on Thrashball controlling the area where the mortar and turret spawn, will render you a great setup in any game mode.

TIP - Use the barrel roll in a battle to confuse your enemy or make him aim out of sights to make his shot inaccurate.

You can activate the alarm on ‘checkout’. I found the button on the wall XP

tip: for getting retro lancer kills throw a smoke were you know an enemy is and charge in this works for me most of the time cause usually there waiting with a shotgun to kill you.

List updated, keep em coming!

Just a tip. You can’tgo balls out Shotgun rushing in this like you could in Gears 1.

Basically, to do well, you need to play “Tactical” Not camping, but be smart. Use your rifle alot. A good hammy will down any shotgun rusher instantly.

anyone have an idea of what the secret weapon is? and where is the switch on the wall?
