Tactics[]
- As with their Non-Corrupted counterpart, Corrupted Heavy Gunners often attack surrounded by allies allowing time for their Gorgon to spool up and shred through Tenno shielding whilst their corrupted allies draw fire.
- Corrupted Heavy Gunners have inaccurate weapons, so it may be advisable to dispatch them from a long range.
- It is ill-advised to get within melee range of a Corrupted Heavy Gunner, as they possess the same knockback ability as their Non-Corrupted counterpart.
Specter[]
Baro Ki'Teer may sell one time use Specter blueprints for a Corrupted Heavy Gunner which also includes a respawning Orokin Drone.
Tips[]
Electricity damage, Impact damage, Heat damage and Blast damage will stop them from firing their Gorgon and force them to respool, whilst also enabling them to be taken down without the worry of gunfire as to being temporarily unable to fire.
- Stuns and other crowd-control powers do not prevent their knockdown attack from activating if they have already initiated the animation for it.
- Additionally, Heat halves the victim's current armor value, potentially significantly increasing their damage taken.

- Nyx's Chaos ability can help prevent teams from being overwhelmed by multiple Corrupted Heavy Gunners, by creating a temporary safe haven for Tenno to dispatch them from.
- Being arguably the most dangerous enemy type in the void, it is recommended to deal with them first before other units unless another unit (such as a Corrupted Nullifier) is shielding them.
Trivia[]
- As with all heavy Grineer units, the Heavy Gunner, along with Corrupted Bombard, cannot be given shields via the Orokin Drones shield buff.
