I’m playing gears 3 in co-op with a mate on insane, we are at the final boss where the Tempest has latched to the tower (with bugs and guards all around). This is ridiculously difficult and we’ve been at it for literally hours, can we join a 3rd player just for this part? Where me and my mate will still get the 2 achievements? Any tips in general would definitely help
Hi, when I unlocked that achievement I did it alone, after that with another player and after that I tried with 3 more players.
My experience was that even with 3 good players and a 4 not-so-good, AI was a lot punishing. It’s better to try it with less players.
We spent hours trying with 4 players, and we didn’t make it. So I promised that I’ll never play that part with another player xD
And you can always try to find players on LFG or trueachievements 
Any useful tips? Just wanna be done with this part already. Like how many times we gotta use the Hammer against the Tempest? And can we avoid or do we have to take the bugs/guards head on? As Cole and Baird are useless
Has been a long time,I don’t remember exactly how many times you need to use the hammer, but you need to defeat every other enemy ASAP. It was very difficult trying to deal damage to the Tempest while Palace guards? Normal Theron? were outside trying to kill you
Spot the enemies that you want to get rid of them first, CPU can try to help you, but doesn’t work most of the time.
Learn on which parts of the map the grappler locust appears. You can try to plant grenades or press B when the grapper appears.
Remember that you can switch weapons with the CPU (Now I’m confused if you can do this on Gears 3 or if was from Gears 4 onwards)
And that’s all I can remember now
As I’m playing on xbox one what do you mean by CPU? I know what the word means but I don’t understand in reference to the game
How long overall did it take you to finish it?
CPU = Your other teammates, not controlled by humans.
1 or 2 hours. 30 minutes trying to do something, the rest was learning the spawn of enemies, using ammo efficiently and I had some grenades and an explosive weapon with me. Maybe a Boomshot or Torque, with 2 rounds.
