Complete Part 16 in Gears of War: Reloaded, including finding Cog Tag CT18 and strategies for the Powder Keg section.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After crossing the hall, take (cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects)) on either side of the door as five more Wretches will appear.
  2. 2
    Shotgun these Wretches and proceed through the door they emerged from.
  3. 3
    Head across the room; an ammo box is to your right if needed, and the outside is also to your right.
  4. 4
    Head outside and immediately turn around the wall to find Cog Tag CT18.
  5. 5
    To proceed to the next chapter, shoot the propane tank in the car, causing it to roll down the hill.
  6. 6
    Run alongside the rolling car to complete the chapter.
Tips
  • You can stand in front of the propane tank after shooting it but before it rolls for a faster ride down.
  • There is a hidden, oddly placed propane tank behind rubble behind the car's rear bumper. To ignite it, stand at the doorway to the area, throw a grenade in its general direction, or set the car on fire, run over, turn around, and then shoot the tank. If you hear it ignite, Roadie Run over quickly.
  • On Insane difficulty, be cautious of Kryll when dealing with the hidden propane tank, as you may have very little time to reach safety.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the gas station and wait for the attendant to mention the Junker is not full.
  2. 2
    Proceed to the Point of Interest and spin the wheel until the attendant confirms it is full and that there is ammo in the back.
  3. 3
    Stock up on available weapons and ammo, including a Longshot, grenades, and large ammo boxes.
  4. 4
    When you hear a Locust shout, prepare for combat.
  5. 5
    Strategy 1 (Shotgun/Longshot): Take (cover) in the doorway of the gas shack and use the Longshot to snipe enemies, switching to your shotgun for those that get too close.
  6. 6
    A Boomer and several Wretches will appear to the right of where the initial enemies were. Use your shotgun on the Wretches while watching the Boomer's Boomshot attacks.
  7. 7
    After the Wretches are eliminated, use the shotgun to defeat the Boomer.
  8. 8
    Take (cover) behind the small wall where the first Locusts hid and snipe the remaining enemies, using the shotgun if they approach.
  9. 9
    The attendant has a magnum and can assist.
  10. 10
    Before the (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) starts, quickly run inside to pick up any desired ammo.
  11. 11
    Strategy 2 (Shotgun/Lancer): Take (cover) behind a small wall in front of the longer small wall where Locusts hide and use the Lancer to pick off enemies.
  12. 12
    Use your shotgun on any enemies that get close.
  13. 13
    A Boomer and several Wretches will appear to the right of your position. Use your shotgun on the Wretches, being mindful of the Boomer's location and Boomshot attacks.
  14. 14
    After the Wretches are dead, take (cover) and use the Lancer to eliminate the remaining Locusts. On Casual, you can use your shotgun and run around.
  15. 15
    Before the (cutscene) starts, quickly run inside to pick up any desired ammo.
Tips
  • On Insane difficulty, it is highly recommended to use the Longshot found inside the shack and follow that strategy. You can switch back to the Lancer before the (cutscene) if desired.
  • The initial wave of enemies is the most challenging part; careful play can make the rest of the section manageable.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    This is a driving chapter that takes place on the highway.
Tips
  • This chapter can be particularly difficult on Insane difficulty.
