In Act 3, the Marcsa long-range gun, Claw relic, and others offer varied strategic advantages, with locations spanning from the north communications tower to the city's ruins. In a desert setting, notable relics such as the Lancer grenade launcher, Snub, and Overkill offer unique combat benefits, though some may be less practical than their standard counterparts.

In this segment, the creator, Macca, details where to find all 17 relic weapons in the Gears 5 campaign. Relic weapons are enhanced versions of standard weapons with unique skins and superior capabilities. They are beneficial for players on higher difficulty levels and are tied to specific achievements. Macca begins with the Enforcer relic in Act 2, near a crimson omen. This weapon fires slower but deals more damage. The Longshot relic, found in a red boathouse on a frozen lake during Chapter 2 of Act 2, fires two bullets on a perfect reload but uses only one ammo. Another weapon, the Retro Lancer relic, is available in Chapter 4 of Act 2, after passing through a gate. Its rounds are explosive, adding significant firepower.

In this segment, the video discusses various weapons and their unique variants found in a game.
– **Bullet Explosives**: These bullets are powerful but require three to five hits to defeat enemies directly.
– **Torque Bow Relic**: Located in Chapter 4, Act 2 near the abandoned mines, this variant fires non-explosive rounds with a quicker draw time and can easily headshot enemies if aimed correctly.
– **Boltok Relic**: Considered the best pistol, especially useful on higher difficulty settings, and found north of the Condor crash site. This variant allows for faster handling and aiming, possibly unlocking an achievement if equipped in all slots.
– **Drop Shot Relic**: Found near a northeastern iceberg on the frozen lake, this weapon variant freezes rather than explodes enemies, but typically requires an additional action to finish them off.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses several key points related to finding relic weapons in the game. Specifically, the boom shot relic is located in the north of the map near the north communications tower, behind two generators with a crimson omen note. This variant holds three rounds of ammo, allowing for three consecutive shots. Moving on to Act 3, the presenter identifies the Talon weapon in hangar one, which performs better after an active reload. The Nasher relic, found at the beginning of Act 3 near the north border, shoots slugs instead of a shotgun spread, though it’s noted that this isn’t as effective in practice. Special thanks are given to individuals who helped locate these relics.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses various weapon strategies and locations in a desert setting. They describe how a specific slug weapon lacks range and damage but can be effective with accurate aiming. The focus then shifts to an area with domed buildings marked on the map, highlighting the “claw relic” weapon, which improves significantly with an active reload by firing straight and dealing substantial damage. The speaker recommends this weapon for those proficient in active reloads.
The video then transitions to the north pump station area, near the rocket hangar, and points out the relic for the Marcsa long-range gun that allows full-auto firing. However, despite the seemingly advantageous feature, its limited ammo capacity and performance at range make it less practical.
Next, they explain the hammer burst relic found near the city ruins in a nomad area. This variant increases the number of bullets fired in succession while aiming down sights, greatly boosting its damage output but also introducing unpredictability.

In this segment of the video, the creator discusses obtaining the Lancer grenade launcher relic variant, the Snub relic, and the Overkill relic weapon. The Lancer grenade launcher is described as phenomenal, but its relic variant does not significantly enhance its performance. The location to find this weapon is between the first water station and the cosmonaut facility, behind a big rock near some supporting pillars—it can be pinged using Jack for easier location. The Snub relic, located southeast of the rocket hangar near the train bridge controls, allows for shooting two bullets at a time with good accuracy, doubling the damage but is considered not a great weapon overall. Lastly, the Overkill relic, found near the bridge controls, is an automatic firing weapon ideal for lower difficulties. It can quickly exhaust ammo but is effective against high-health enemies.

In this segment, the video covers the location and abilities of the Lancer relic and the M-bar relic. The Lancer relic is near the cargo ship wreck side mission in the desert and has a unique melee attack that stuns enemies, though the effectiveness varies by enemy type. The M-bar relic is located near the fallen condor, not far from the turntable, and features a powerful charged shot, although its utility is debatable since the standard M-bar already offers one-hit headshot kills. The segment also notes that acquiring kills with all seventeen relic weapons can unlock the “relics of the past” achievement and encourages viewers to engage with the content through comments, likes, subscriptions, and sharing.
