Line 132:
** ''Gears of War 3'' introduces the Lambent Berserker. Everything that is makes the originals tough is there, only it is capable of surviving multiple Hammer of Dawn attacks, has tentacles that gives it a longer reach, will ''jump'' and land like an Imulsion bomb and eventually start leaving Imulsion trails and toxic vapors limiting your movement. All the while still screaming and rushing at you.
** Cole has tendencies toward exhibiting a few traits, but is more in tune to the [[Boisterous Bruiser]].
* [[BFG]]: Virtually every gun in the game is oversized, and it wouldn't do to list every gun that isn't a sidearm here, so we'll just list the most notable:
** The [http://vaultlol.com/?p=334 Retro Lancer], (the one on the right) a rifle with a bayonet the size of a cutlass that looks like a hybrid of an FN-SCAR-H and an M60, which could double as a mounted machinegun turret.
** The Boomshot, an enormous grenade launcher with a 60mm bore that shoots grenades in four-round bursts.
** The One-Shot, which can only be described as a sniper cannon.
** The Mulcher and Vulcan Cannon, which are both man-portable miniguns.
* [[Big Bad]]: Myrrah. Note that Epic Games use the term "[[Big Bad]]" to refer to the final bosses of each game (General RAAM in the first, and Skorge in the second), but they are more like [[The Dragon|Dragons]] in trope-speak.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]:

** {{spoiler|Clayton shows up during the final battle of ''Gears of War 3'' in a King Raven and starts tearing into the Lambent and Therons with a gatling gun. He gets shot down by Myrrah's Tempest [[Screw Destiny|but survives]]}}.
** The Command Center fortification for Horde 2.0 gives you the opportunity to call in support, starting with a quick sniper support and being able to upgrade through mortars and the [[Kill Sat|Hammer of Dawn]]. Unsurprisingly, it is quite satisfying to call in for help and see the screen light up with kills.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]]: Virtually every gun in the game is oversized, and it wouldn't do to list every gun that isn't a sidearm here, so we'll just list the most notable:

* [[Bigger Bad]]: {{spoiler|Imulsion itself, which is really a single, planet-wide parasitic organism}}.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The second and third games feature victory and ultimately survival, but at a great cost. {{spoiler|Myrrah is dead, the Lambent are destroyed for good, and the last stand of organized Locust falls, yet Marcus has lost his best friend Dom and his father Adam Fenix in the struggle. Cynically lampshaded by him in his final line of dialogue}}.
