The Grineer Forest is the 9th tileset to be released, after the Corpus Gas City. Found on Earth, these dense jungles are populated with plants genetically engineered by the Orokin to be extra resilient. Attempts at colonizing the planet by the Grineer have been repeatedly thwarted by the vegetation, resulting in various overgrown Grineer structures that can be found during exploration.
Similar to Phobos, Grineer units here are variants known as Frontier units, equipped with the Karak and forest camo.
Introduced in Update 11.5 as part of The Cicero Crisis, Councilor Vay Hek attempted to destroy the plants using the Cicero Toxin. More details can be found on the event page.
Trivia
- This tileset is the first to have a day-night cycle.
- As of Update 12 , this tileset now switches between day and night every 4 hours. (As opposed to every 6 hours pre-update 12).
- Insect and/or animal sounds can be heard while in this tileset. Unknown if possible indigenous life will be introduced in later updates to reflect this apparent life-filled jungle.
- It is stated that Earth is the "homeworld of the oppressive Grineer empire", which is odd considering entire forests remained untouched during their uprising into power, suggesting that either Grineer began from another planet and moved in, or they simply ignored the forests until now.
- Stealth is more viable in this tileset since alarms are more spread out.
