The Mark 2 Lancer Assault Rifle was an upgrade to the Mark 1 Lancer Assault Rifle, produced with a chainsaw bayonet, increased accuracy, lower recoil, and larger ammunition carrying capacity but less firepower compared to its predecessor.

Designed by Professor Adam Jonathon Fenix during the first year of the Locust War, the second-generation Lancer soon became the staple weapon of Gears across Sera and the official workhorse of the COG.

In 42 A.E. the Mark 2 was replaced as the standard issue rifle of the COG Army by the Mark 3 model inspired by Marcus Fenix's Custom Lancers.

The Mark 2 Lancer Assault Rifle was the Coalition of Ordered Governments' current standard-issue assault rifle for Gears fighting on the front lines.

The signature weapon of the COG, the Lancer possessed a fully automatic mode of fire and the iconic Chainsaw Bayonet attachment for melee combat, despite the fact that the chainsaw was originally for utility purposes. One of the most popular rifle designs on Sera, the Lancer saw extensive use after the Pendulum Wars.

The Lancer's long service record was a result of its rugged reliability and reputation as a versatile assault rifle.

Although intended for mid-range combat, the Lancer was also effective at longer ranges due to its low recoil.

Despite the existence of a Locust Horde counterpart to the Lancer, the Hammerburst assault rifle, Locust have been known to use the Lancer.

Some Theron Guards and Drones were reported to have used the Lancer against COG Gears. The Cyclops, a variation of the Drone, were exclusively armed with the Lancer; these Cyclops had a particular tendency to use the Chainsaw Bayonet.

The idea of changing the original Lancer into the chainsaw bayonet Lancer was the product of Marcus and Adam Fenix, and inspired by a desperate combat maneuver performed by Tai Kaliso, one year after Emergence-Day, during the Battle of Jannermont.

Like Marcus, many Gears were complaining that the original bayonet blade didn't work well on Locust armor or their thick hides.

Marcus informed his father about it failing in its design and soon after, Adam produced a prototype Lancer with a chainsaw bayonet attachment. This made it easy to slice through the Locusts' thick hides.

The design required a redesign of the internals of the rifle to accommodate the chainsaw blade and drive system but nevertheless, it became a success and entered mass production.

One of the Lancer's most distinctive and popular features is its notorious Chainsaw Bayonet. The chainsaw consists of razor-sharp, carbide-tipped blades powered by a variable-torque motor, and is capable of killing an enemy in seconds.

Following the Rift and the formation of The Alliance the Lancer would enter service as a weapon for Spartans and the Elite Guard.
