Grinlok

Grineer Weapons

CONCLAVE (PvP)

The Grinlok is a Grineer lever-action rifle crafted from the Chem lab via clan research. By nature, the Grinlok sports high damage with accurate delivery, supported by its high critical damage and very high status chance, but its extremely low fire rate and small magazine size hampers its ability to manage crowds of enemies.

CharacteristicsEdit

This weapon deals primarily Impact damage.

Advantages:

• Tied with Prisma Grinlok for the highest base damage of all semi-automatic rifles.
  • High Impact damage and good Slash damage – effective against shields and health.
• Good critical chance.
• High critical multiplier.
• Second highest status chance of all semi-automatic rifles, behind Nagantaka.
  • Can reach 100% status with Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds, High Voltage, and Malignant Force.
• Fairly high reload speed.
• Little to no vertical recoil.
• High accuracy.
• Very small spread.
• Excellent ammo efficiency.
• Innate polarity.
• Can equip the Grinlok-exclusive Deadly Sequence and Grinloked (Conclave only) mods.

Disadvantages:

• Low Puncture damage – less effective against armor.
• Tied with Prisma Grinlok for the lowest fire rate of all semi-automatic rifles.
• Tied with Nagantaka for the lowest magazine size of all semi-automatic rifles.
• Critical chance is disproportionately lower than critical multiplier, making critical builds without Deadly Sequence unviable.

Comparisons:

• Grinlok, compared to Prisma Grinlok:
  • Equal base damage, but different composition:
    • Higher Impact damage (93.5 vs. 74.8)
    • Lower Slash damage (74.8 vs. 93.5)
  • Lower critical chance (15% vs. 21%)
  • Lower critical multiplier (2.5x vs. 2.9x)
  • Lower status chance (35% vs. 37%)
  • Smaller magazine (9 rounds vs. 21 rounds)
  • More accurate (44 vs. 32)
  • Lower Mastery Rank required (7 vs. 11)

NotesEdit

• The Grinlok often ragdolls enemies on lethal shots, a side effect of it dealing mainly Impact damage.
• The Grinlok's focus on both Impact and Slash damage makes it generally effective against the Corpus and the Infested.

TipsEdit

• While the Grinlok 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 Malignant Force, High Voltage, Thermite Rounds, Rime Rounds, Hammer Shot and Rifle Aptitude equipped, the Grinlok can achieve a status chance of 100%, making every single shot deal status effect procs. While the actual combined status chance is about 138.25%, the UI does not show status chance values above 100%, as any value above that has no effect on the proc chance.
• Shred is an excellent mod to help the Grinlok with crowd control, as it increases its slow rate of fire while piercing through groups of enemies, letting each shot deal its massive damage to multiple targets.
• Using the augment Deadly Sequence, it's possible for players to create a viable crit-status hybrid build for the Grinlok.

TriviaEdit

• 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 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
  • Despite the unusual combination of technologies mentioned, a lever-action flintlock rifle did exist in real life.
• While  Marelok is, theoretically, a sawn-off pistol version of this rifle, its magazine is curiously relocated.
