Corrupted Heavy Gunner are Orokin-controlled Grineer Heavy Gunners. They share the same abilities and traits as regular Heavy Gunners. However, Corrupted Gunners have over twice as much HP in comparison to regular ones.

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.
  • Leech Eximus variants of the Corrupted Heavy Gunner should be prioritized as targets, before they are able to spool their Gorgon machine gun. Their fast rate of fire can enable them to continually heal themselves faster than some weapons can damage them.

    • Additionally, Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. halves the victim's current armor value, potentially significantly increasing their damage taken.
  • Given their large HP pool and the devastating Gorgon machine gun, Corrupted Heavy Gunners are good candidates for MindControl130xWhite Mind Control.
    • If the player is using a fully ranked Mod TT 20px Mind Freak Warframe Augment, a Corrupted Heavy Gunner can decimate entire squads of enemies as soon as they enter her range.
  • NyxIcon272 Nyx's Chaos130xWhite 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.
