My favorite Kantus is the Savage Kantus since they look cool and I like their outfits. I would of loved to see them in the Gears 3 Campaign, but I believe they were never added and were just multiplayer.
@@nadiagonzalez6176 There should be a story DLC about the savage locusts and see how they work like attacking the stranded and fending off the Lambent.
Back when Gears 2 came out, I stumbled across a Gears forum where you could talk about the Gears of War universe. There was a section where people could talk about the origin of the Locust, and there were some pretty interesting threads. This one I remember basically said how the Kantus were actually the OG Locust and were an ancient civilization that had built Mt. Kadar and whatnot. I forgot how New Hope fit into it, but it was a pretty interesting read. If you think about it, why do the Locust look so different than other drones..? Very thought provoking I think.
I think the canon explanation for the locust origins is the least interesting tbh, them being an ancient race that was always just below the surface was what I always thought
@@asddsdsssdI don't mind the children being locust. But if kantus are also part of the children, it really makes the locust lore make much less sense considering an entire city had been built underground, and kantus being able to see through the future and having their own civilization with the hollow creatures would make much more sense.
I recently saw a video that stated that the Kantus are ancient denizens of the hollows. idk the lore too well but this would make the most sense, considering religion takes centuries to establish. Why they would accept queen myyrah and the horde is a different question.
I shed a tear off the nostalgia cutscene loved gears 2 soo much ben died to early in the campaign and it's just dom aswell like why did they kill him in gears 3 like why, i want another mission like OPERATION hollow storm in gears 6 like it was such a fun mission seeing new locust and the lore is just fantastic i hope there is kantus survivors instead off scions giving the healing ability like just no we want a screamer and gives me the old gears off war feeling :(:. Great video ABZ loving the content
Gears 2 campaign is so good! & yeah when making this lore video it reminded me how much depth there was to the Kantus, the Locust religion itself and so much more. Thank you! 💙
Probably Skorge, but I DID like the Armored Kantus. In hindsight, I'm surprised the Armored Kantus wasn't Skorge's disciples or bodyguards or something. Or the Zealot.
I would have loved to have seen kantus healing teams or kill teams on the battle field. Just a group of kantus’s really upping the odds on the battle field.
The armored kantus are my absolute favorite locust. Littlerally the only reason I played gears of war 4 multiplayer was because you could play as them.
Man I love your channel I'm Brazilian and some of your videos don't have subtitles some have others no more bro your channel about the locusts and very good congratulations
@@KingAbzTV Good to hear mate keep them coming :) I got a channel too (not a self plug lol) I did a gears 5 advance horde frenzy playthrough yesterday. Got 7K subs so far im not a gears channel tho i mostly upload retro stuff so i much appreciate your gears stuff. I shared your channel on my FB and discord too so hopefully that will get you a few new subs :D
One thing that confused me about them, if they are completely different from the drones, how the hell do they reproduce with the berserkers without having a drone child. PS: do the ranger next please, their my favourite locust.
I would also say TC missed their mark to create a Swarm version of the Kantus in Gears 5 since it is their 2nd installment in the Gears universe and I think they should of not spent the resources on redesigning the Swarm characters and rather make their own healer/support Swarm trooper.
@@KingAbzTV Awesome! I would say for design wise, that TC should skip the crystals and with the Kantus and maybe out something that has to do with the ink they carry around.
Good question! Honestly i don’t know the answer to that and I’m hoping Gears can expand on that in the next game. It’s never been explored and a missed opportunity for sure.
I hope that’s the case. Hoping the Kantus survived in some way but I’m also hoping they create new creative enemy types like they did with the Warden & snatcher.
Well TC removed the scion healing ability in gears 5 so I thought the kantus had a chance to return and was kinda disappointed when they didn’t lol. Maybe it’s a sign of them coming to gears 6 though idk.
Who's your favourite Kantus? Let me know below!
My favorite Kantus is the Savage Kantus since they look cool and I like their outfits. I would of loved to see them in the Gears 3 Campaign, but I believe they were never added and were just multiplayer.
I love it about story of savage locust and queen guard

My name is Sebastian Beltran this is my mom name
@@nadiagonzalez6176 aight
Unidentified screaming
Kantus: RAHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hearing that Kantus scream in the beginning unlocked so many memories of playing Horde mode with my friends in Gears 2 back in high school
Good times

@@ozymandiastheiii9176it was prophesied, Myrra is the Messiah in the eyes of the Kantus
I loved playing a the kantust and armoured kantust in beast mode kantust is also one of the most iconic locust spices
Same
‘Kantus’
Yeah the Kantust is one of the craziest spices along with paprika, pepper and cumin
Spices.
The Dutch: This Kantus is now ours.
“Gekoloniseerd”
As much as I like Kantus I like berserk in beast mode
Three primary races
Are Drones, Boomers and Kantus
And 4th the creatures of the Hollow
“Not a natural cave formation” HE SAID IT!! HE SAID THE THING
Since we know Therons are older drones
But what does a older kantus look like
Probably nothing new but maybe more skinny and wrinkled
You know the rules and so do i
Raams shadow suck
Btw this the last time im saying this
I FIND YOUR SELF......VERY DISTURBINGLY SCARY VERY NARY TARY BAD

"Well i think Its safe to say this cave isn't a natural formaton"
They even added a halo CE reference
the voice actor for the kantus is so AMAZING
Locust Zealot basically injecting himself with steroids lol
Probably Skorge, but I DID like the Armored Kantus. In hindsight, I'm surprised the Armored Kantus wasn't Skorge's disciples or bodyguards or something. Or the Zealot.

I loved playing as the Regular and armored kantus in beast mode, I wish we could fight a swarm type kantus as well❤️❤️
btw im loving these videos abz you should do some comic lore as well for gears of war
Thanks bro! Definitely a lot more Gears lore on the way, got like 40+ video ideas on my list, one video at a time
@@KingAbzTV Awesome bro can't wait keep putting out the amazing videos!
Appreciate you 💙
Kantus - Robbie valento
Stalker kantus -Jackie Lynn Thomas
Elite stalker kantus - Tom Lucifer
Armored kantus - Janna ordonia
Zealot - Libby stein
I want the gorgon smg to return eventually, but doubt it will
It was my favorite non special weapon
The armored kantus are my absolute favorite locust. Littlerally the only reason I played gears of war 4 multiplayer was because you could play as them.
They’re so cool! One of my all-time favourites too for sure!
@@KingAbzTV ah cool man glad to see im not the only one great video by the way.👍
😄& thank you!
after watching this video im no longer gonna look at the savage kantus as a sweaty wall bounce character...
Lmao!!
Ayy I appreciate it Abz.
Thanks Nathan 😄
Man I love your channel I'm Brazilian and some of your videos don't have subtitles some have others no more bro your channel about the locusts and very good congratulations
Another amazing video also my favorite kantus out of all is either Savage Kantus or The Original Locust Priest
Awesome!! & thank you!!
Dizzy not helping Tai will always make me made
Ngl im still not over Tai dying the way he did😭favorite character second only to Cole
In comics tai told dizzy to run away
Dizzy was helping but tai told him to leave not his fault
Always called them Kuntus lmfaooo
I did not know all this info about locust love the vids
Metal Kantus
If Ukon figured so much out, why were his practices abandoned? At least the ones that bore fruit. Clearly the helmet tech stuck around
Just imagine a lambent kantus
I know right! Missed out big time
Ikr, it’s strange how they never made that happen in Gears 3.
@@KingAbzTV yeah fr fr
Zealot lool
Zealot lool
Gears 3 savage kantus was legendary but ngl gears 4 armored kantus was nice asf
Love your vids buddy just come across your channel and instantly subbed hahaha :)
Hey thanks buddy! Much appreciated, lots of awesome content on the way, in the time being I think you’ll enjoy the lore playlist and other vids 😄
@@KingAbzTV Hahaha im binge watching your vid's now buddy watching the cole train evolution ;)
@@KingAbzTV Massive gears fan too and know all the lore but your vids are super awesome you really should have more views and subs to be fair :D
@@davpreec glad to hear it buddy, & the last 12 months have been awesome for my yt growth so expect big things to come! Thanks again mate!
@@KingAbzTV Good to hear mate keep them coming :) I got a channel too (not a self plug lol) I did a gears 5 advance horde frenzy playthrough yesterday.

I agree! I hope the kantus can return in some way
@@KingAbzTV Awesome! I would say for design wise, that TC should skip the crystals and with the Kantus and maybe out something that has to do with the ink they carry around.
But it was cool how they made armor and stuff in 5 vs in 4
My most favorite locust!
How come the kantus never got crystallized like the locust drones did?
Good question! Honestly i don’t know the answer to that and I’m hoping Gears can expand on that in the next game.
It’s never been explored and a missed opportunity for sure.
Definitely my favorite locust
I remember when you name was sniper abz💯
OG! Let’s go haha appreciate you!🤝💙
Nice vid
Thank you!
No thank you for these awesome vids
Metal kantus was always my favorite
Does anyone have voice clips of the armor Kantus sounds? Some of them I found so badass
Always thought the Savage Kantus was AWESOME.
Me hears kantus: I know who I'm shooting first. Shut up you damed grub
I didn't notice that Halo reference until just now....
The armored kantus all look like they’re wearing jnco jeans lol
What are your thoughts about a “scion like Kantus” assuming they went through this miracle Metamorphosis an TC keeping them alive?
I hope that’s the case. Hoping the Kantus survived in some way but I’m also hoping they create new creative enemy types like they did with the Warden & snatcher.
Well TC removed the scion healing ability in gears 5 so I thought the kantus had a chance to return and was kinda disappointed when they didn’t lol. Maybe it’s a sign of them coming to gears 6 though idk.
Stalker Kantus!!
They're not canon, but they're cool skins!
@@KingAbzTV Lol yeah! They are my favorite tho.
I like the ronin kantus !
Take a shot every time he says “Kantus”
More lore videos
How far did the sea level drop after the tunnels got flooded?
Wait is Ukon a drone and that's why he wasn't mentioned in this video?
Yeah Ukkon was a sire that retained his mental capacity, he isnt a kantus. My video of Ukkon should explain everything for you :)
What that tongue do 😂
Kantus are the best enemy type in all of gaming, I don't care what any one says.
I still have one question
What do the locust eat
Rockworms! I explain this in my Locust Nexus and locust boomers videos.
@KingAbzTV ok
Thank you
Also I feel like a berserker would eat people too
Hay
