Cowboy Hats for All [Easter Egg] Gears of War 2 To achieve one of the more bizarre feats in the Gears of War saga, you first need to make sure you are set on Insane Difficulty. At the very beginning of Chapter 3 there are three cowboy hats in the environment around your rig that can be shot with your pistol. Facing the front of the rig, the first hat is behind you and to the right on the side of a cabin with a rustic barbwire trim. The 2nd hat is on the opposite side (the left side when facing the front of the rig) under the big-wheeled mobile cannon, between the wheels. The final hat is just past the second, on the same side, beneath the end of the 2nd fuel tank. Your reward for your sharpshooting will be cowboy hats: and lots of them. Everyone in your rig will suddenly resemble the cast of Hey Dude, a locust driving a rig that you must kill later will be sporting a fashionable ten-gallon, and even a massive Corpser will get rodeo fever down the road. If you are not on Insane Difficulty, the hats will still be there, but will be invisible. You can still shoot them if you know their precise locations.

Horde Mode Shield Placement *** The 1/20/2009 update disables this action. If you are playing Horde mode on a level with a Boom Shield, you can use it to block off a choke point to make the onslaught easier to manage - but it has to be planted backwards or else the Locust will merely stomp over it. As long as the Boom Shield's handle is facing away from you, they'll be stopped. You must replace the Shield after every wave.
