MELEE | None (2)

Alright, let's talk about getting up close and personal in Gears of War 3. This is your basic melee attack, the trusty knife. It's not as flashy as a headshot from your Gnasher, but it's super useful when you're in a tight spot or need to finish off a weakened enemy.

To perform a melee attack, you'll just press the B button. It's a quick jab with your knife that can stagger enemies or, if they're already hurt, take them down for good. Think of it as your last resort or a way to conserve ammo when things get desperate.

When to use it:

• When an enemy is very low on health and you want to conserve ammo.
• To quickly dispatch a single, isolated enemy.
• To interrupt an enemy's action, like a melee attack or a grenade throw.

Heads up: Don't get too cocky with the melee, though! If you miss or try to melee a group of enemies, you'll be left wide open for a counter-attack. It's best used when you're sure you can land the hit or when you're already behind an enemy.

Keep this in your back pocket, and you'll find yourself getting out of more than a few sticky situations!
