Complete Part 9 of the Gears of War 4 walkthrough, including finding Cog Tag CT7 and strategies for the Hammer section.
Walkthrough
- 1Man the turret and eliminate all appearing Locusts. Use zoom by holding L. If Locusts take (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)) behind hallway windows, dismount the turret and engage them directly.
- 2After clearing the Emergence Hole enemies, return to the turret. A Locust will kick open a door behind it; kill this enemy, potentially using the chainsaw.
- 3Proceed down the next hallway and kick open the door to reach the next chapter.
- 4Knock Knock (A16): Proceed down the long hallway and kick open the door.
- 5Head towards what appears to be a toll booth, then slightly northwest to find a van with a red GoW symbol. Search around the van for Cog Tag CT7.
- 6From the van, head northeast towards the northernmost sandbags. When an enemy appears from the middle door, prioritize shooting him before the one from the rightmost door.
- 7Run through the rightmost door. As soon as you enter, move left and take (cover) behind a small wall.
- 8An Emergence Hole will appear; attempt to destroy it or shoot all enemies. Use the wall for (cover) or move to another position if needed.
- 9Head north. Check the middle door (to your left) as sometimes a Grunt may remain or a new one may appear.
- 10Proceed north past the Emergence Hole and look left. Chainsaw or kill the enemy on the Troika.
- 11Hop over the sandbags in front of the Troika and watch the (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)).
- 12After the (cutscene), turn around and head down the steps. Take (cover) behind the sandbags.
- 13Engage and eliminate all moving Locusts. Use the chainsaw if enemies get too close. Maintain heavy fire to prevent flanking.
- 14A "Point-of-Interest" icon will appear, and a Locust will scream. A previously closed door will open; take (cover) and eliminate the enemy.
- 15After the fight, head outside, find a shotgun, and switch your Lancer for it. Pick up shotgun ammo from fallen enemies.
- 16Hammer (A17): Head back inside the building and to the left. Enter the now-open door.
- 17Go up the stairs to the right. At the overhang where you can see Cole shooting, turn right.
- 18Take (cover) next to a locked door and shoot Locusts until Kim opens it.
- 19Head downstairs, out to the left, and revive Cole if necessary. Eliminate all remaining enemies in the room.
- 20Return to the hallway with the staircase and go left, leading to an overhang on the opposite side of the room.
- 21Go up these steps and to the left. Enter the next door.
- 22Go right into the hallway. Wretches, small enemies that physically assault you, will appear. The shotgun is effective against them.
- 23You will trigger a (checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)).
Tips
- On Insane difficulty, the Part 9 section doesn't require a unique strategy beyond the normal walkthrough.
- If Locusts take (cover) behind hallway windows, it's often easier to dismount the turret and engage them directly.
- The wall you take (cover) behind after entering the rightmost door should be efficient, but be prepared to move if necessary.
- When facing the doors where enemies appear, prioritize eliminating the enemy from the middle door before the one from the rightmost door.
- In the final shootout, consider staying farther back than usual.
- The shotgun is very useful against Wretches.
