Gears 2 on Insane

Has anyone beat Gears 2 on Insane difficulty? The first battles where fine until I've reached the part where you ride the truck and get attack by mortars %26 reavers. I can shoot those mortars down but that reaver that comes on the left I can't seem to kill. Any tips or tricks?Gears 2 on Insane
i recommend co-op, to me gears is only good when played with a friendGears 2 on Insane
I've completed it on insane...some tough bits but not that hard really...it also never really gets frustrating and the challenge is quite fun, I reccomend you do it in co-op though...for the reaver bits just shoot the driver.
Yes, I completed it on insane, too. Alone, not in co-op. There are indeed some very frustrating parts and the one you're speaking of was one of those for me. I only hat problems hitting all the mortars though and had to try about a dozen times. Then you just shoot the reaver down with the mounted gun. Shouldn't be that hard.
I did that part co-op... we didn't miss a single mortar.... I tried to do that part alone but my aim wasn't all that good apparently and I started to get pissed. Luckily one of my contacts was playing gears also and he agreed to help me through that part.
Hi there buddy,Just browsing the forums and noticed your a bit stuck, so I thought I would sign up to help you as I also found it really hard to get passed the reaver that attacks from the left. After failing about 20 times, I looked on the internet to get tips and I found out its possible to cool down the Turret weapon by holding the right trigger button, which allows you to shoot at a quicker rate. I don't know if you knew this already so apologies if it doesn't help. I found it really easy once I discovered this and was able to do it on my first go. Hope this helps!

It's right bumper, not right trigger. Trigger fires, bumper cools down.
Just don't waste any of your mortar shots on the guys before the locusts with the mortars come out. I did it solo and not once did I use the troika.

I think he's talking about the part where you are still driving.
I am having the exact same problem. I can make it through the mortars, but the reaver always takes me out. I have take out the driver and the gunman, but every time I get destroyed.
get good with the turret on the truck. i used it to take out most of the mortars and i was already waiting for the reaver before it showed up. the trick is to keep your turret concentrated on the reaver at all times (make sure you don't overheat your gun).
I just got past that part yesterday. It took some trial and error. That first mortar is a pain, coming in at such a curveball angle. So far I would say that Gears 2 insane is harder than Gears 1 insane pre-RAAM but I'm doubting/hoping that nothing in Gears 2 insane will be as hard as RAAM insane.

Yeah, you're right... Since Gears 1 took a while to get used to and I did my first play through on Hardcore, I ended up dying less in my second play through on Insane... except for Raam. That was a real pain in the a$$.
I beat it on insane and when that reaver came all I did was shoot out the driver then shot the reaver a few more times in its mouth and it died

Try playing in co-op with one of your friends being on casual.



Personally I didnt have that luxery, despite originally planning to do that. Instead my co-op buddy was on hardcore on my insane run through. Regardless, I still had him as the gunner during that part because he was on a lower difficulty.



So if you've got a friend who's willing, have em play on casual.
tnx a lot guys. I've finally got past that. I also just found that RB cools it down quicker which really helped a lot.

I never had any problems with that part while on insane, but I am glad you have got past it. Good luck on getting through the rest of the game, there are some very frustrating moments to go. :P
