The Locust Drones Morphology and Lore Explored | Gears of War Explained

Ойындар

The Locust are creatures who exploded from underneath the Seran surface, many humans were dropped within the first few hours of the invasion. Roughly 25% of the human population would be annihilated during this initial outbreak. Eventually as humans got a foothold, they were able to fight back, but these physical prowess of these monsters, made them difficult to go toe to toe with and as a result, not many soldiers would be left. It would come light, that scientists employed by the COG would responsible for humanities ultimate predator. In todays episode, we will discuss where they came from, why they are more physically capable than humans, how how this has impacted the Seran people!

    For those of you that don't know, alot of COG soldiers also died from using the chainsaw becasue, in lore, its supposed to be a last resort. Using the chainsaw on a drone will send bone fragments (depending on where you hit) flying in every direction at mach 2. The Lancer v2 was also a combination of Marcus's and Tai's idea since Marcus saw Tai use a chainsaw to kill a drone and thought "Damn, we gotta start doing that". He then took the idea to Hoffman, and this was the legit conversation. Hoffman, "Thats the dumbest idea I've ever heard, lets fucking do it"

    Locust: *(Wall bounces towards Jackal then dodgeroll fires and lands a Headshot, exploding the Jackals Head)* Legendary Jackals are Crackshots (._.) but Drone Snipers are THAT PLUS Steroids and BLOODLUST (._.) literally they're almost the Size of Brutes (Jiralhanae) and will obliterate your corpse into a pulp pile of mush the 1st chance they get (:/) not to mention if you're down they WILL CURB STOMP YOUR HEAD INTO OBLIVION (:O) (._.) Trully the stuff of nightmares... Gears of War I feel was successful not just because of it's brutal and Unique Gameplay but because of it's Horror Elements. The original Gears of War Trilogy always had Gore but not just violence for the sake of violence... it was War.. and it showed the Horrors of War and Death... and Mortality in general... but it always felt like one of those games that felt creepy and had Horrors around every corner 😕 the kind of game that kept you on your toes throughout every moment never knowing what lies ahead.... the OG Gear of War Trilogy will always have a special place in my heart.. I remember all the friends I had in those games and all the crazy clutch PVP moments.. as well as the Enemy variety the game had throughout the Campaign. Gears of Wars Enemy types were unique similar to the Covenant.. although not a group of Individual Species and Civilizations, it was still made up of diverse Life.. it really made it feel like you were fighting an entirely Alien Race, but yet they were us (:/) didn't mean to go and ramble on about the entire franchise, but to put it bluntly, Gears of War Locust Snipers would absolutely body Jackal Snipers both in a 1v1 and on a Massive scale. Simply put the Drone Snipers have more in they're favor.. as well as being more physically capable than the average Human that would mean Jackals would be overwhelmed and outlasted seeing as how the Locusts are more Resilient and Durable than the Kig-yar (Jackals)(:/)

    The Locust are intelligent enough to communicate with Serans it is just they only ever say threats or taunts, there is a comic that shows their military more in depth revealing to be surprisingly well structured but higher positions tend to be vulnerable to cutthroat politics or straight up promotion via killing the guy above you.

    I highly reccomend the Rise of Raam comics. they really give some insights into life in the locust horde. also they show that the drones are not only intelligent but have a high degree of sapience and independent thought. Drones each have unique personalities like humans do, they are able to express complex emotions and they even have a sense of humor. which begs the question, if humans are turned into locust drones through "processing" do those drones retain their original human memories and personalities? and if so, can the horde expect their allegiance?

    Which is why the coalition should have never revealed locust turning humans into locust cuz it makes no sense they should be able to remember who they were and that's have revenge on The horde for turning them into locust against their will hence why I'm mostly done with the series since they pretty much contradicted and ruined the Lore especially since it was revealed that sires were the ones that gave birth to the first generation of locust and myraah is supposed to be a descendant of the scientist sadly they didn't reveal it that way and they were supposed to still love the idea of the matriarch though plus processing means they just torture people to death especially working them to the bare bone so fuck tc for ruining gears.

Or just specifically Rise of Raam because not only is there a Drone that makes Raam looks small, but also just because it's some of the coolest, badass, and great story telling from the villain perspectives.

    Well going off one of the Halo 3 trailers: it is possible for a single brute to hold an entire spartan II up, Mjolnir armour on and all, with just one arm. Going off gameplay, it's possible for them to launch entire CRATES filled with weapons sky-high with, and unfortunately speaking from experience, enough force to kill a spartan II upon impact.

Their homeworld has twice the gravity of earth, the big monkes are pure muscle. A Drone is a monsterized human on steroids. A Bruta is a Gorilla-bear on steroids.

    I read some of the books for gears. One funny thing is how they got the idea for the chainsaw bayonet. Marcus, Dom and Tai are escorting civilians. An E-hole pops under a hardware store. Marcus's gun jams and he is forced to use the knife bayonet on a drone that's already close to him. The bayonet breaks after multiple stabs. The drone then starts fighting Marcus barehanded. Dom and Tai try to help but they can't shoot the drone without risk of hitting Marcus. Tai see's a circular saw on the shelf, picks it up and cuts the drone. Then Marcus says "These bayonets suck. We need something that actually cuts these bastards. Maybe we can bolt that thing on a lancer?"

The Humanoid Locust have a Five Cambered heart, with the extra chamber being a lower pressure pump for the blood supply to the brain. That way the body gets more blood at higher pressure to better oxygenate for prolonged physical activity, while not damaging the brain or other more fragile systems. That is where the third beat comes from if I am correct.
