As a series, Gears of War likely has the best weapons in any shooter, period. Many of these weapons are surprisingly creative—a chainsaw on an assault rifle?!—and nearly all of them feel great to use.
What I’m saying is: ranking the Gears of War arsenal is tough. In any other game, many of these weapons could have been number one. All the same, we are here to rank things, and rank we shall.
