Line 150:
** After losing a multi-player match on the COG side in ''Gears of War 2'', Chairman Prescott will deride you. He might say: "Reload, refocus, ''respawn''!".
** Failing an active reload and causing the gun to jam as Griffin in multi-player in ''Gears of War 3'' may have him say "Fuckin' noob!", clearly at you.
* [[Bullfight Boss]]: Berserkers.
* [[Bulletproof Human Shield]]: Anyone can take an enemy as one if they have been downed (see [[Critical Existence Failure]]). The game considers an enemy dead by all means, meaning there's no way to help them while they are being held (in multi-player, their respawn timer starts), and when they are no longer held, they're practically a corpse. ''Maybe'' [[Justified Trope|justified]] due to the armor all Gears wear, as well as the Locust being naturally tough.
* [[Butterfly of Transformation]]: In the GoW 4, JD Fenix and Kat were discussing how just before butterflies go on a raid, they are cocooned. {{spoiler|It foreshadows the Locust Horde's return. Since they weren't destroyed by the third game's end. But came back stronger and coverting humans into the Swarm through cocoons.}}
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Boomers and their many variants (Grinders, Maulers, Flamers and Butchers) always yell out an attack-related phrase (i.e. "Boom!" for Boomshot-wielding Boomers and "Grind!" for Mulcher-wielding Grinders) before opening fire. This is a good tell that lets you know when to [[Take Cover]].
* [[Camp Unsafe Isn't Safe Anymore]]: In ''Gears of War 2'', a Stranded says the surface isn't safe anymore. The Locust, Kryll-infested, razor hail suffering surface.
