There are different changes to this map from the one in Gears of War 2. Jacinto is part of the DLC Forces of Nature. A command center spawns in the grenade room $1000 sniper $1500 Mortar/Boomshot $2000 HoDġ sentry on top of the crate near command post No.
On Boss Wave 10/20/30/40/50, use the turret that is for $1500 (retro) that is near the 3 windows in the HoD/Boomshot spawn. If in Gears of War 3, buy the command post that is next to the crate near the Bolo Grenades/Ink Grenades and buy the 2 small barriers that will cost $500 or the one behind the grenades which is $1000 (large). On higher waves, you can use Boomshields to block off the stairs as well as set frags on the stairs near the spawn. Whenever you get a lull in the waves, usually when there's a Wretch as the last thing left, pick up ammo near the Sniper/Torque Bow and the Boomshot/HoD spawn. It is, therefore, much safer to keep constantly on the move when you are the leader, switching between the stairs next to the statue and the safe area as much as possible.Ī good tactic in Horde mode is to get to the grenade rooms and just wait out the Locust. Even then, one should not rely on this area too much as a sniper can simply walk down to the Hammer of Dawn spawn and get a clear shot at a leader camping in this area.
However, be aware that any tactic you use can and often will be replicated by an opponent, so keep in mind that the inside corner of the grenade room facing towards the Longshot spawn is the only reliable 'safe area' where one can camp and avoid the Longshot, the Mortar, and the Hammer of Dawn, when fired from the opposing balcony. Alternatively, there are many good Hammer of Dawn placements with the potential to kill a careless leader on the grenade room promenade. Sometimes you can catch the other leader wandering out of cover and get a good, clean shot at their head, even though they think they are safe in their room. One good way to quickly and easily dispatch the leader is to get the Longshot Sniper Rifle. When you are not leader of Guardian, just rush the other team until you can get through all of the opposing team's defenses and kill the leader. When hiding here, you don't need to worry about being snuck up on from behind. Be aware that the little ledge in the back of the grenade room can be jumped over to leave the area but cannot be jumped over to enter. Once you grab some grenades, plant them strategically behind barriers leading up to your location. When you are the leader, first head and grab the Boltok Pistol closest to you. This map is ideal for a match of Guardian. Another good weapon to grab is the Boltok Pistol. If you think someone will beat you to them, try to make it to the Boomshot/ Hammer of Dawn. Instead of going into the heat of battle, go for the Grenades. At the beginning of the match, most players will make a mad dash for the Longshot/ Torque Bow. There are many ways to approach this map.
