Gears
of War 3 Mutators List and guide
Here is a guide to
the Mutators in Gears of War 3. Mutators can be used to add variables
to the gameplay in Horde mode and Arcade mode in campaign. Mutators
that increase difficulty will also increase your score, while those
that make the game easier will decrease your score. Fun mutators have
no impact on score or gameplay and are just for fun. Get

kills with each of the starting 5 weapons). This mutator deals
ALOT more damage than normal when you have the active reload and

stays on until you use it. Easy way to get 100 kills with the
Gnasher, Sawed Off, Hammerburst, Lancer Rifle and Retro Lancer
is playing KOTH against a full team of casual bots with the rounds
set to 15 and ring capture score set to 240. You will soon rack
up the weapon kills you need for this one.

the start timer runs out, shout a turret, reload it, shoot it
again, reload it, do this 5 times to get 1 ribbon, you have plenty
of time between rounds to do it 5 times easily.
