Trackers are small, ball-like DeeBees that use their body as a weapon, closing in on the player and exploding when in close proximity. These machines are essentially mobile and self-tracking smart grenades. They can sometimes drop a Bolo Grenade when killed. Shock variants are used when non-lethal force is needed.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
They are used to flank or harass the enemy and are often used in conjunction with Shepherds to flush out encamped forces from hard to reach places.
They are released from either a Tracker tunnel in strategically placed buildings or from a Condor.[1] Unlike other DeeBees, Trackers are too small for a Leech Flock to hijack.
Kicking a Tracker away will cause it to become inactive for a brief moment, though kicking it twice will destroy it. Inactive Trackers are easier to destroy, but will still explode when destroyed. If kicked into their allies, they can damage or destroy them.
Appearances[edit | edit source]
- Gears of War 4 (First appearance)

Behind the Scenes[edit | edit source]
- Trackers are the DeeBee equivalent of a Locust Ticker.
- They are considered the cheapest and most disposable of the DeeBees.
