RETRO LANCER


Dubbed the Retro Lancer during the Lambent Invasion, the Pendulum Wars Lancer Assault Rifle is the preceding model to the Lancer Assault Rifle. Used primarily in the Pendulum Wars as the COG soldier's primary choice weapon, it was abandoned about a year after Emergence Day because the weapon was ineffective to the Locust Horde's fighting tactics. However, following the Sinking of Jacinto when supplies started becoming sparse, the Retro Lancer started cropping up in fighting forces once again.

BACKGROUND
Originaly developed to fight humans during the Pendulum Wars, the Retro Lancer did not feature the Lancer's trademark Chainsaw Bayonet. Instead, the assault rifle was equipped with a standard knife bayonet lug for close combat.

Following Emergence Day though, by the end of the first year of the Human-Locust War, the COG soldiers were finding it increasingly difficult to fight the Locust Horde because of the Locust preference to close-combat, the Locusts' toughened skin turning away the bayonet, and the Retro Lancer's lower rate of fire led to the need to develop a new Lancer Assault Rifle. Following an incident where Tai Kaliso improvised and used a chainsaw to kill a Locust and Marcus Fenix's musings to his father, the modern Lancer Assault Rifle was developed by Adam Fenix and put into production and widespread use, which retired the Retro Lancer from COG combat until after the Sinking of Jacinto and the fall of the COG.


THE ORIGINAL BAYONET
As the predecessor to the Chainsaw Bayonet, the Retro Lancer's bayonet is significantly weaker by comparison to the motorized chainsaw. With brute strength behind it though, players can perform a similar instant killing move to the Chainsaw. By charging at an enemy with the Bayonet forward, players are able to spear through an enemy, raise them over their head, and throw the now dead enemy off the knife Bayonet.
