A little-known Gears of War chainsaw malfunction leads to a shockingly gruesome Snatcher death, and of course fans love it!

In the bloody, gut-drenched world of Gears of War, players have grown accustomed to dispatching the Locust in the most brutal ways imaginable. But even for a series known for its over-the-top violence, a recently discovered glitch has managed to catch players off guard with its pure, unadulterated savagery.

A Reddit post showcasing this hidden gem has left the Gears community equal parts shocked and delighted, with many rushing to their consoles (or PCs) to recreate the gruesome scene for themselves.

The post in question features a short clip from Gears 5's Horde mode where the player bravely approaches a Snatcher – one of the game's larger, more formidable enemies – and revs up his chainsaw.
