Unlike other multiplayer shooters, where you can customize your loadout and bring weapons you like using or are overpowered, that is not the case in Gears of War. The weapons in Gears of War: Reloaded are located within specific maps, and whoever gets to them first can grab them and use the weapons for themselves until they get eliminated by the opponent.
The Handyman trophy/achievement requires a kill with every weapon, so the guide below includes the maps where you can find the weapons and how to locate them in Gears of War: Reloaded.
Where to Find All Weapons In Gears of War: Reloaded Multiplayer
After turning Crossplay on or off, you can boot up the Multiplayer, where you will find several game modes to choose from. Getting the kills with the starting weapons shouldn’t be much of a problem since you have them with you at all times. After that, your next priority every round should be to acquire the weapons laid out on the map while also keeping a checklist of the weapons you have acquired a killed with.
Locating weapons in every map is quite easy; all you have to do is press L1/LB on your controller as soon as you spawn, and this will turn your screen grey, portraying markers to where your teammates are. You can also spot weapons highlighted that you can simply follow to find them.
If they disappear as you are about to reach them, then that means someone else acquired them before you.
Since not every map offers all the weapons, players will have to get the kills in different maps. Here is a table that includes all weapons and which map players can find them on:
