Follow our detailed walkthrough for Gears of War 3 Chapter 3: Homecoming. Find collectibles, defeat Stalks, Lambent, and Drudges, and use the Loader to progress.
Walkthrough
- 1Head towards the deserted outpost, turn left around a car, then right onto the road.
- 2At the road's end, turn right into an alley. Kick in the door on the left to enter a courtyard.
- 3In the courtyard, a collectible is on the right. Return to the main path.
- 4Continue until you encounter stranded enemies.
- 5Follow the path to a playground. Stalks will attack as you cross. Destroy the pods releasing drudges to kill the stalk faster.
- 6Kill the Lambent and another stalk will appear. Kill it to exit onto the next street.
- 7Before exiting, go up the slide next to the first stalk, take a right, and find a collectible in the corner. Use the X button on the slide to descend.
- 8Continue into the alley, encountering more drudges and Lambent wretches.
- 9Take a couple of rights and squeeze through the razor wire.
- 10You'll reach the front of the Grocery Store. Stalks will emerge, bringing Lambent grubs and drudges. Stay back, watch for mutations, and kill the pods.
- 11After clearing the area, find a small path across a hole to the grocery store on your right.
- 12Inside the grocery store, fight through the aisles. After the first encounter, head to the checkout area on the right.
- 13At the last register closest to the doorway, you'll find a collectible. Approach via the sides of the room.
- 14Round the next corner and engage more Lambent. Use the small room to the right to flank them.
- 15In the next open area, hang back and kill enemies at range. Watch out for stretching drudges, as their heads can remain active after death.
- 16You'll reach a small safe room with boxes. Chainsaw through the boxes to reveal a switch that opens the room to the loader.
- 17Use the loader to get beyond the locker and pick up the food.
- 18Before heading outside, check the room to the right. Find COG tags on the computer desks in the back, near a giant crimson Omen painted on the wall.
- 19Return to the grocery room and head to the far left door. Break it down using the loader.
- 20Outside, you can either get out of the loader to kill everything or proceed to the green smoke to drop off supplies.
- 21Use the loader to create a bridge of cars to cross to the green smoke.
Tips

- When fighting inside the grocery store, use the side paths to avoid the center and make it easier.
- Be cautious of stretching drudges; their heads can remain a threat after death.
- The crimson Omen on the wall in the room with the COG tags is a significant visual element.
