Act 3:5 - Elevator to Hell | Walkthrough Gears of War 4 Guide
Last update: 21 December 2016
Number of collectibles: 1
Right at the very beginning you will have the opportunity to discover a collectible. After you jump from the ramp head right, and you will see a building with "Controls" written on the wall. Turn left after you enter, and go up the stairs. Find the toilet on the upper floor, where you will acquire another item for your collection.
Afterwards, you should head forwards to the control panel, where you must pull the lever. You will have to descend to the lower level, and switch the engines to the reserve fuel supply. You will be attacked right after you approach the console. After you pull the lever the elevator will start descending, so you should head back to the bridge.
Now, you have to fortify your position by using the Fabricator. The first wave will come from the left side, so it is best to place e.g. an automated turret there. Juvies will be the first enemy you encounter, so it is not worth it to use the heavy level 2 turret on them, if you have placed one. It is better to fight them off using traditional methods.
The second wave will be made up of Drones. Here, placing a level 2 turret in the front, and a decoy and two level 1 turrets in the back, is a sound strategy. This way, the enemies will be running straight into the fire of your guns.
The next wave will be much bigger then the two you have defeated earlier. It is worth it to place two additional turrets, a bit further outside, so that they can cover one another, and you should have no issues with repelling this attack.
After the siege is over, you will have to find the machine-room. It is best to simply follow Del. When you enter the machine-room, grab a valve and start turning it. After a while the elevator will start descending again.
There is one more skirmish ahead of you, this time against Pouncers. It is best to fall back and run to the previous platform with the turrets. When this fight is over you will watch a cutscene, and then run to the emergency break.
When you manage to achieve that, another cutscene will pop up, and afterwards, you and your team will be at the bottom of the shaft, where the chapter will end.
