Tips

 * While it is similar to the Latron, it comes with a lower magazine capacity and slower rate of fire, making it more punishing for missed shots. Focus on aiming at heads or weak spots.
 * With three out of the four dual-stat event mods - Malignant Force, High Voltage, Thermite Rounds, and Rime Rounds - and the fourth event mod, Hammer Shot or Rifle Aptitude the Grinlok can achieve a status chance of 100%, making every single shot deal status effect procs. While the actual combined status chance is 103,25-119%, the in-game UI does not show status chance values above 100%, as any value above that has no effect on the proc chance.
 * With Split Chamber, the second shot created will always deal the same proc as the original shot, essentially dealing the same Status Effect twice on the target.
 * Shred is a recommended mod if the user prefers crowd control, increasing its slow rate of fire while piercing large groups with ease.

Trivia

 * Despite the trigger type being listed as semi-auto, the Grinlok is described as being a lever-action repeating rifle.
 * The News tab in the UI mistakenly referred to this gun as Grinlock.
 * The weapon's name may be a combination/corruption of "Grineer" and "Flintlock", the latter of which was an early firing mechanism in guns used in the in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
 * Despite the unusual combination of technologies mentioned, a lever-action flintlock rifle did exist in real life.
