Boomers Gears of War

Boomers
These are the rather big aliens carying rocket launchers. Most often you encounter them on the later levels in which you have access to more powerfull weapons like the Torque Bow or the Longshot. Listen carefully to Dominic as he will most often announce the boomers by yelling "Booomeers!". The moment you hear Dominic yell, switch to preferable the Torque Bow and look for the boomers. One shot with the Torque Bow will kill them immediatly. Since they tend to be pretty slow and expose themselves almost all the time, it is hard to miss them with the Torque Bow. Most of the time you can kill them even before they are able to fire a single shot. If you do not have the Torque bow, equip the Longshot and go for the headshot. Again it is hard to miss them, but this time you will need two shots to finish them. Try to achieve a perfect active reload and kill the boomer as fast as possible. Do not let them come close to you.
