#2 Scorcher Easily the least used weapon in Gears of War, this light-weight extremely portable flame thrower is the best crowd control weapon in the game. I've seen a man take down 3 charging Locust Cyclops with it, and the Scorcher may just have the best execution in Gears of War 3. The Scorcher's range is certainly the most limited of all the weapons, but sheer damage and coolness of it makes it rank highly. Warning, the video below is from Gears of War and contains violence and simulated death blood/gore. It is not recommended for children. (note: the Scorcher appears in this video starting at 2:29).
