Weapons
Chainsaw Lancer
The famous Chainsaw Lancer is created during E-Day by attaching an old chainsaw to a standard-issue Lancer prototype at Oria Stadium.
Origin in E-Day
The Chainsaw Lancer receives an on-screen origin in Gears of War: E-Day. At Oria Stadium, Bravo Squad encounters a prototype built by crudely but deliberately attaching an old chainsaw to a standard-issue Lancer.
Campaign role
The prototype is offered to Bravo Squad during Chapter 2 of Act 2 while the unit is operating from the stadium’s military forward base. The moment connects E-Day’s survival improvisation to the weapon that later defines the series.
