Gears 5 Relic Weapons guide: Find all locations

Gears 5 is full of collectibles — that we know — but it’s also got a total of 17 Relic Weapons to collect and use. This guide will show you how to find them all.

In addition to being more powerful versions of the game’s normal set of weaponry, the Relic Weapons are also tied to a couple in-game Achievements including Relic Hunter (equip three Relic Weapons at one time) and Relics of the Past (get a kill with each Relic Weapon). For Relic Hunter especially, remember that you can store weaponry on the front of your Skiff.

There are a total of seven Relic Weapons in Act II and ten Relic Weapons in Act III of the campaign. We’re going to defer to Maka91’s excellent video guide to help you find them all.

Here’s a quick text rundown as well.

Act 2 Relic Weapons

  • Enforcer Relic Weapon (Act 2, Chapter 2 only): This is on the left at the New Hope location.
  • Longshot Relic Weapon: This is inside the red barn along the northern end of the map.
  • Retro Lancer Relic Weapon: This is past the gate in Act 2, Chapter 4 — look in the centre of the map.
  • Torque Bow Relic Weapon: This is also in Chapter 4, to the right as you enter the mine; look to the top of a hill.
  • Boltok Relic Weapon: This is in eastern part of the map, northeast of the Condor Crash Site.
  • Dropshot Relic Weapon: This is northeast of the Crash Site as well, behind a rock.

  • Gnasher Relic Weapon: This is south of the Talon Relic, on the northern edge of the map.
  • Claw Relic Weapon: This is still in the northern part of the map, but getting closer its centre. Look for domed buildings buried in the same.
