In this part of the video, the focus is on the different types of body armor worn by soldiers of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) within the Gears of War universe. The discussion starts with the standard infantry armor, also known as trooper armor, which is blue with a black crimson omen. Most gear soldiers, including notable characters like Anthony and Benjamin Carmine, wear this armor. The helmets have built-in filters but are often not worn due to visibility issues, as noted by Dom.
The segment then describes the armor’s ability to provide substantial protection, particularly to the torso, without compromising mobility. Next, the cadet armor is mentioned, which is worn by new recruits; it is lighter and lacks the shoulder pads found in the trooper armor to facilitate training.
Female gears armor is a scaled-down version of the standard armor, with smaller leg armor, boots, and a lower cut collar but retains the same helmet as male gears. The video also touches on customized armor used by some soldiers due to supply shortages or personal preference, citing examples like the combined pieces worn by the Cole Train and makeshift armors used by conscripts. The armor worn by Garen Paddock and Tai Kaliso is noted for its unique adaptations to suit their needs and culture.

In this segment of the video, the discussion focuses on various types of armor used by Gears soldiers in different conditions. The hot weather armor, seen in “Gears 3” and used in high temperatures, is lighter and less protective than standard COG armor. Combat medics wear a white variant with blue asterisks, designed to carry medical supplies. In cold environments, Gears use heavy cold weather armor with thermal heating and camouflage. Scouts wear ranger armor for flexibility and speed, while those operating heavy weaponry use destroyer armor, which offers increased protection but is very heavy. Lastly, iconic veteran armor sets are mentioned as being worn by Marcus Fenix and Victor Hoffman.

In this part of the video, the focus is on various types of armor used by different members of the coalition forces. Veteran armor is highlighted for its extensive use during prolonged campaigns, despite its increased weight. Marine armor, worn by the naval branch, is noted for its silver color, additional ammunition storage, and an oxygen respirator for underwater operations. Commando armor, used during the Pendulum Wars, includes chest-mounted knives and medical kits and is designed for covert operations with a dulled color for camouflage. Delta armor, used by high-ranking gears in harsh terrains, balances stealth and protection, equipped with extra pouches for supplies. Lastly, Hive Buster armor is specialized for speed with minimal protection, designed for missions to destroy swarm hives from the inside, featuring a velcro piece to carry venom.

In this segment, the video discusses the Onyx Guard armor, worn by the elite soldiers of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) in the Gears of War universe. This armor is distinguished by its completely black appearance with glowing eyes, a glowing strip down the chest plate, and two glowing spots on the back shoulder blades. It offers more extensive coverage and protection compared to standard COG armor due to the additional armor plates, making it stronger and more durable. The Onyx Guard armor is also more expensive to produce because of the high-quality materials required.
