How To Kill RAAM
By SoulFire
This game has been out for about half a day now, I'd assume if it's truly faithful to the 2006 classic this plays the same as it did back then, this guide is mainly for those who play on Steam Deck or people new to Gears of War in general.

Here's how you kill General RAAM in the final chapter (and save yourself a bunch of frustrating "gamer rage moments" like some of us have suffered back in the day when this first came out for Xbox 360.)

The Simple Guide
To defeat General RAAM in Gears of War, utilize the Torque Bow to disperse his Kryll shield, then switch to the Lancer or Longshot to land headshots while he's vulnerable. Alternatively, exploit the Troika turret in the train car for sustained fire when RAAM gets close. Co-op play with a Torque Bow and Longshot user can significantly speed up the fight.

As demonstrated below:

Detailed Guide
1. Torque Bow and Lancer/Longshot Combo:

-Start by using the Torque Bow to remove the Kryll shield protecting RAAM. 
-Immediately switch to the Lancer or Longshot and aim for headshots while the Kryll are dispersed. 
-Repeat this process as RAAM regains his Kryll shield. 
-Be aware that the Kryll shield will return after a short time, so time your attacks accordingly.
 
2. Exploiting RAAM's Vulnerability:
-When RAAM gets close, he may stand still and become vulnerable to sustained Lancer fire, especially if you can land active reloads. 
-Grenades can also be effective when RAAM is in close proximity. 

3. Co-op Strategy:
-In co-op, one player can focus on using the Torque Bow to clear the Kryll, while the other player uses the Longshot for precision headshots. 
-This allows for a more efficient and faster takedown of RAAM. 

4. Troika Turret (Optional):
-If you reach the end of the train car, you can utilize the Troika turret for sustained fire against RAAM. 
However, be mindful of the Kryll and time your shots when RAAM is not protected. 

5. Patience and Timing:
-The fight against RAAM requires patience and timing, as he is a challenging boss. 
-Utilize cover effectively and don't be afraid to retreat to a safer position if necessary. 
After Thoughts
Fairly simple, if this guide helps at least one person I'd say it has served it's purpose. Game on!

On co-op, active reload Torque Bot shots follow by active reload Longshot headshots are the play. Both spam grenades by blindly throwing them over when he gets close. That's how I did it with a buddy real quick back in the day. I never tried to beat him solo on insane though.

I find that shooting him is best :cuphead:

Such a memorable fight though. The second game has an even harder section at the end.

RAMM is ez mode on insane solo, 6 or 7 headshot actives with the torque/Longshot combo an it's over.
