The development team at Epic Games is launching another weapon trailer for the Gears of War: Judgment title, showing off the abilities of the Tripwire Crossbow.

The new weapon is described as “An infrared tripwire beam and high explosive darts will have you watching where you step.”

Gamers will need to pay attention to their surrounding area while using the Tripwire Crossbow, placing explosive charges that can slice through Locust troops as they pass through, which will prove invaluable when facing waves of enemies.

The trailer also has quite a bit of gameplay taken from the coming Gears of War video game.

The new title will be launched exclusively on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft later during the month, and it’s the last game in the franchise for the current-generation of home consoles.
