Gears of War 3 Cheats and Tips

To find the Bronze Giant Chicken,*Must be Marcus,but can have friends around to help you after the small regular chicken appears.Continue reading for more information on this message.* begin Act 1,Chapter 2 and play the game normally until spoiler]you reach the door that starts the cut-scene of Adam Fenix (Marcus's father) telling you he needs help,that he has been captured by the locust, knows how to stop the lambent, and that Sera's dyeing; Then turn around and go backwards(walking back to the place you started) until you see a,long,thin pipe, with two big open pipes beside of it on each side(they are under the bridge that was blown up). You need to remember what they look like and where they were, as you need to find two more on the opposite side(these two are not under the bridge though). Once you find those two, have Marcus (if you are not Marcus,then have who ever is him do it do it.) go up to one of the pipes and wait until he yells "Hellooooo!" into it(this is the way it is spelled in the games subtitles but might be more or less of the letter O(not zero!)). Once you yell in all of the pipes, do not turn around until you move backwards a few feet(The pipes can be yelled into in any order). If done correctly you will hear sounds, followed by Marcus saying "What the hell?", and if you look back at the pipe you yelled in last, you will see a small, regular chicken. Then have you and your friends, if any are playing with you, shoot the chicken for a while, or if you want it to stand still and get a closer look, then just walk on the chicken a few times. Depending on the way you did it,Greg will behave differently. You will not get booted for this cheat. To find the chicken gun *you can find it without any special circumstances or specific character, but there is only one!*, you follow the instructions for the Giant Bronze Chicken,(whom I have dubbed Greg, A.K.A:Chickzilla.)except open the door instead.Continue until Carmine raises the lift for you.

Once he has raised the lift, head towards the wall with the yellow face painted onto it.To get over to the face you must climb over the road-blocks. Then look to the right of the face to find some stairs. If you go up the stairs follow the path until you reach a body with a frag grenade,ink grenade, and what appears to be a boomshot.Don't be fooled though, because it is really the Cluckshot. If you do not believe me, walk up to the gun and look at the name of it. Pick it up and shoot it. Suprisingly, you can actually kill lambent with this mysterious weapon...(You will not get booted for this!)

* If you do not have the Gold weapons in Gears of War 2, nor did you not play in the first week when Gears 3 launched, the only way to unlock the Gold-Plated Lancer and Hammerburst is the Veteran Gear achievement.
