Variants of the Lancer appear in the video game series as well as in related media, beginning with Gears of War. The most well known model is the Mark (MK) 2 Lancer Assault Rifle, a mid-range assault rifle with a fully operational chainsaw for a bayonet, and is usually available as one of the starting weapons used by the protagonists of the series. We can’t wait to get our hands on the electronic Lancer and the ‘Headshot’ Locust Drone,” said Michael Capps, president of Epic. “We love NECA’s work because they have the same kind of passion for making great action figures as we do for making great games.”Following the critical and commercial success of the first two Gears of War games, writer Joshua Ortega indicated at a New York Comic Con panel in early 2009 that the Gears of War franchise was intended to be a long-term plan that would go on for at least a decade, and called the Lancer "the new lightsaber". [6] The Lancer makes a crossover appearance in the 2020 video game Wasteland 3 as an equippable weapon. [14] Cultural impact [ edit ] Fandom [ edit ] Mallory, Jordan (October 1, 2011).

The “Headshot” Locust Drone comes complete with real metal COG tags, a nod to Gears of War’s intrepid Delta Squad.

IGN ranked the Mark 2 Lancer Assault Rifle 10th place on its list of Top 100 Video Game Weapons, with praise for the chainsaw bayonet and automatic rifle combination as well as the execution mechanic. [19] OXM staff included the Mark 2 Lancer in its list of "the 15 greatest guns in Xbox history" and called it their ideal "dystopian future-gun". [20] Since its debut in November 2006, Gears of War has won over 30 game of the year awards as one of the most popular and best-selling games on Xbox 360 . The game thrusts players into the deep and harrowing story of humankind’s epic battle for survival against the Locust Horde, a nightmarish race of creatures that surface from the bowels of the planet. In Gears of War 2, players continue the story of Marcus Fenix, a reluctant war hero, as he leads Delta Squad on a series of perilous and adrenaline-pumping missions. Gears of War 2 blends a best-in-class third-person shooter with unsurpassed high-definition visuals, all layered on top of an engaging story of survival, loss and retribution. The Lancer was featured in an article published in the July 2008 edition of Electronic Gaming Monthly that discusses its practicality and historical precedents. A consultant for the Call of Duty series, Hank Keirsey, criticized the weapon and pointed out that in real life, "chainsaws are heavy." He noted that the closest historical precedents are "medieval bludgeoning weapons". [18]
