Notes[]

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

Tips[]

While the Grinlok is similar to the Latron 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.
Shred 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.

Trivia[]

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 Marelok is, theoretically, a sawn-off pistol version of this rifle, its magazine is curiously relocated.
