Revision as of 17:49, 20 March 2014

The Grustrag Three is a group founded by Councilor Vay Hek, which comes after a Tenno who has completed at least one Invasion mission against the Grineer.

The Grustrag Three were formerly regular Grineer marines who (while aboard a troop transport) suddenly slaughtered their fellow comrades, claiming that they were growing "impatient for the killing". After being committed to the Grustrag Reconditioning Facility, Facility Director Tengus discovered that the marines suffer from a rare mutation brought about by cloning, vastly increasing their combat potential at the cost of deteriorating mental faculties.

Under Vay Hek's order, Tengus reconditioned them, with the intent of focusing their aggression towards the Tenno instead. Although mostly successful, the Three still had lingering violent behavior towards fellow Grineer. To counteract this, Tengus developed the Grustrag Bolt, a device that limited their effectiveness against other Grineer personnel. Tengus had additional Bolts created, to be used against the Tenno during the Three's operations.

With The Grustrag Three now prepared for combat, Vay Hek deployed them with the sole purpose of attacking those who supported enemies of the Grineer. However, Sargas Ruk criticized Hek's actions, reminding Hek of the soldiers The Three have killed and warning him that they would eventually grow out of his control.

Leekter is a member of The Grustrag Three. He wields a Brokk hammer and throws flashbangs to blind players in battle.

Although Leekter does not spawn by himself under normal circumstances, he may individually spawn inside Darvo's weekly mission as a Field Boss if the associated faction of the mission are Grineer.

Most Honored Councilor Vay Hek,

The agony treatment has worked! Tests show aggression has been shifted to The Tenno! The Grustrag Three are now ready for release and are eager for your orders.

Please note: fratricide is still an issue. Conditioning did not completely remove violent tendencies toward fellow Grineer. My solution is the Grustrag Bolt. When attached to a subject, this device limits combat effectiveness against all Grineer personnel. The bolt will ensure collateral death is acceptably limited.

I have produced a surplus of these devices. Perhaps these will also aid you with your problem?

Your Loyal Servant,
Doctor Tengus
Director Grustrag Reconditioning Facility

Shik Tal is a member of The Grustrag Three. He wields a modified Marelok Marelok that fires small dumb-fire rockets (akin to those fired by Hellions) and a giant shield similar to Shield Lancers. Similar to the Shield Lancers themselves, he can use his shield to charge forward to knockdown and knockback players.

Although Shik Tal does not spawn by himself under normal circumstances, he may individually spawn inside Darvo's weekly mission as a Field Boss if the associated faction of the mission are Grineer.

Vay Hek,

Releasing the Grustrag Three? Tell me this rumor is a lie. Tell me you have not forgotten what those defects cost me. Traitors must be eradicated but you think they can be rehabilitated? Arrogance. If it was up to me, Grustrag and everything in it would be ash. No Doctor can cure disloyalty.

The responsibility for this mistake is yours alone. Trust me, you will bleed regret.

Ruk

Vem Tabook is the leader of The Grustrag Three. He uses a modified Hek Hek that fires electro-shells in bursts of around 10 at its target, each shell dealing electricity damage in a small radius, making them deadly should all of them connect with their target or the surrounding terrain.

Although Vem Tabook does not spawn by himself under normal circumstances, he may individually spawn inside Darvo's weekly mission as a Field Boss if the associated faction of the mission are Grineer.

Grustrag Reconditioning Facility

Inmate Report: Vem Tabook

Vem Tabook, leader of 'The Grustrag Three', was committed after the group slaughtered all fellow marines aboard a troop transport. Evidently, the ship took too long to reach battle and the subject was simply "impatient for the killing". Like his accomplices Shik Tal and Leekter, Tabook suffers from a rare cloning mutation. This makes him highly effective in combat but completely unfit for duty.

RECOMMENDATION: Permanent incarceration for study. The subject's combat ability cannot be ignored. If the subject's aggression can be focused, he may yet prove a useful weapon.

- Doctor Tengus

Arrival

The Grustrag Three will contact the player after the player has completed at least five Invasion missions supporting the Corpus, which will trigger a death mark, much like Alad V for the Harvester. The player is contacted by Councilor Vay Hek, stating that the player's meddling will not be tolerated, reading: 

  • "You continue to assist our enemies. Your meddling will NOT be tolerated."

Similar to the Harvester, the chance The Three will appear on any given Grineer Mission is additively increased with each player in the party with a death-mark. 

Before appearing, the Lotus will try to warn you (with her transmissions distorted), and eventually pleads you to abort the mission, with the Grustrag Three appearing shortly afterward. Each marine has a chance to drop Neurodes, a component/blueprint for the Brakk (though this is dependent on the marine) a rare mod (such as Natural Talent), or a rare Fusion Core upon death. If The Three are successfully defeated, the mission can then be completed normally.

Defeat

Message from Lotus after The Grustrag Three

A Letter from the Lotus following your defeat by The Three and placing the Grustrag Bolt Release blueprint in the Foundry

Notification after claiming the Grustrag Bolt Release

If the Grustrag Three manage to kill you, the mission that you are on will automatically fail, taking you back to the main menu.
You will find a new inbox message from the Lotus saying that The Three have attached a Grustrag Bolt to your warframe, crippling your powers when attempting to fight them.
As long as the bolt is attached it will lower that frames damage against Grineer by 50%[citation needed].
Attached to the same message will be a Bolt Release blueprint to release the Grustrag Bolt 

Below are the manufacturing requirements needed to build the Bolt Release.

Tips

  • The Three's corpses can be Desecrated to improve your chances of getting Brakk components.
  • Stay in cover when fighting, because the G3 will attack you one at a time: Leekter, Vem Tabook, Shik Tal.
  • The G3 are immune to some crowd control abilities like Vauban's Vortex. However, Vauban's Bastille is confirmed to affect them. (Need confirmation of other abilities that work and do not work.)

Trivia

  • They are the first death mark enemy that consist of multiple entities. The Stalker and The Harvester only consist of a single entity.
  • Upon spawning all players are contacted by the Lotus. However only one player will have his mark consumed.
    • When spawning, all the players will be taunted, but then one player will be taunted mentioning his name and Warframe. This player will have his mark consumed and must do five invasion missions for the Corpus to regain it.
  • At the time of their introduction, The Three were guaranteed to drop a mod, a Brakk component and Neurodes all at once upon defeat, potentially giving players all the Brakk components in a single encounter. This has since been patched.
  • The Grustrag Three currently have the same drop table, differing only in Brakk components.
  • The Grustrag Three seems to have similar armor components to those of Lieutenant Lech Kril. Although, this armor similarity could possibly imply a category of those for Grineer Commandos, an even higher tier of Grineer troops than those of the Elite Lancers or the Napalms.
  • Although Leekter wields a Manticore in battle, his codex entry depicts him using a Brokk instead.
