The Lancer Assault Rifle, also known as simply the Lancer, is a fictional class of firearm weapons featured in the Gears of War media franchise. Variants of the Lancer appear in the video game series as well as in related media, beginning with Gears of War. The most well known model is the Mark (MK) 2 Lancer Assault Rifle, a mid-range assault rifle with a fully operational chainsaw for a bayonet, and is usually available as one of the starting weapons used by the protagonists of the series. In 2013, Epic Games auctioned off three signed replica Lancers to help fund the medical expenses of a former Insomniac Games staff member following a hit-and-run car accident. [13]

According to Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Games' original design director, the development team decided early in production for the first Gears of War that the default gun should be "very distinctive, multifunctional and, most importantly, fun to use", with inspiration drawn from The Evil Dead, Doom, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. [1] He emphasized the developers' belief in the importance of a unique silhouette for the Lancer, so that it would be easily identifiable and instantly associated with the series' gun-based combat. [1] He explained that within the series' fiction, it is "critical to develop a firearm that is effective in battling the Locust – one that is devastating from both a strategic and physiological standpoint". [1] Senior concept artist at Epic Games James Hawkins developed several design iterations for the game's melee combat, which began as a circular buzzsaw before evolving into the chainsaw bayonet. Bleszinski recalled that the bayonet design was very well received by the rest of the team once it was unveiled, noting that "the chainsawing experience became increasingly rewarding" as the team refined the Lancer's feel and effect. [1] On the Lancer's ability to perform gruesome executions, Bleszinski remarked that "intimate violence is a pillar of Gears’ gameplay". [1]
