Revision as of 00:56, 28 February 2014 by Fayde8(Message Wall | contribs)(→Trivia: It is officially called "Devstream" now, and has been since #21. :))
The Marelok combines the stopping power of a rifle with the portability of a pistol.
In essence, the Marelok is a shortened Grinlok that sports greater damage and a higher rate of fire, at the cost of low accuracy and reduced critical damage and status capability.

Tips
The Marelok is essentially a cutdown Grinlok, trading accuracy for increased firepower and rate of fire. Like the Grinlok, its base stats are well-suited for builds that maximize the chance and damage of critical hits, and those that cause many status effects.
Notes
Trivia
The Marelok is likely named for Mare's Leg, a term for a lever-action rifle cut down to the size of a large pistol.
Closer inspection reveals that the Marelok is indeed a Grinlok with its barrel and stock cut down to size and its clip moved to the bottom of the gun.
The Marelok's description initially misspelled it as Marelock. This was fixed shortly afterward.
The Marelok is spun around the reload lever after every shot, which was mentioned in a previous Devstream to be a reference to the lever action shotgun in Terminator 2 with the reload process mimicing that of Arnold's while riding a motorcycle.
The Marelok was not released at the same time as the Grinlok as it required additional coding to support the animations involved. It was also originally planned to be a dual/akimbo weapon. The two weapons were first seen in Devstream 22.
