Take Advantage of the Environment for Gears 5: Hivebusters

Take Advantage of the Environment

Whether it's the harsh cold of Act II or the sand storms of Act III, there are hazards that you can use to your advantage. These include firing a single ammo round to crack the ice at an enemy's feet to send them plunging into the icy depths below and a well aimed shot at a hardened sand column to send it crashing down on your enemies. Aside from the natural environment you should also keep an eye out for the many man-made traps you can use such as steam generators and explosive pipes and containers.
