Gears of War 4 Dropshot (Image: Microsoft) A weapon that flies overhead and negates that oh so precious cover you seek.Once again, The Coalition seem intent on making you as uncomfortable as possible to move you out of cover and into the face of the enemy. Time it right and land it on the enemies noggin to blow them to kingdom come (see below).īut better yet, it provides something unseen in a Gears game. When you fire, it sends the drill-bit out with a laser sight to guide you, and when you're ready, you can trigger it to drill down and explode. The Dropshot works by letting you fire a drill-bit with an explosive head on it.
