LANCER


DESCRIPTION
If you're looking for a weapon that's useful in most situations, then Lancer is perhaps the best all-around weapon in the game, and it comes as a standard equipment for all Gears.

At a distance, the Lancer's solid rate of fire make it effective for suppressing an area or quickly downing a target out of cover. Up close, you can blindfire effectively around cover. At extreme close range, the brutal chainsaw can be used to lethal effect.


CLOSE RANGE
Blindfire is solid at close range, though it pales in comparison to the real close-range weaponry. Just be aware of what your enemy is using. Longshot? Good! Shotgun? Bad!

If an enemy is advancing into this range, you can possibly take him down by cover-firing or even just blindfiring, but stay alert. It multiple enemies are closing on your position, it's time to relocate, not stand and fight.

At extreme close range, you can use the Lancer's brutal chainsaw bayonet, instantly killing all human-sized and smaller Locust.


MEDIUM RANGE
The Lancer excels at medium range, where its solid accuracy and good rate of fire make for great damage output, even against targets behind cover. You can usually accurately target the smallest exposed limbs to deliver damage.

Against targets moving in the open, the Lancer can down them very quickly if you track them while they are exposed.

Blindfiring at this distance is mediocre at best. You can inflict a bit of damage if you're moving from cover to cover. You're usually better off getting behind cover more quickly with a cover slip and roadie run than you are risking enemy fire in the open.

If you're blindfiring at an enemy directly approaching your cover, you can usually deliver a decent amount of damage.


LONG RANGE
The Lancer is mediocre at great distances. You can deal damage, but it tends to be very expensive in terms of consumed ammo. Plus, you usually have to stay exposed longer in order to aim carefully at a distant target.

If you have no better options, don't hesitate to take some shots, but you might want to look at the terrain if you can move in safely.


COVER
The Lancer is okay against in cover, but not great. Against targets exposing themselves to fire, it does well, particularly at medium range. If they're mostly concealed and blindfiring or not shooting at all, you'll have a harder time dealing damage efficiently.

Try to reposition to a flanking angle. Or, at the very least, move to expose part of the target, even if you're not at a full ninety-degree angle.
