you cant spray at all which you will need to do at times in multilayer

up close you'll easily die to pretty much any other weapon unless you hit every bullet


way to slow

Yeah but it's very effective at long range though. It's a lot more powerful so that's why I think you get short bursts.

The common problem is trying to use a gun like another gun. You have to stop trying to use the Grendal as an automatic weapon and more of a burst weapon. With the right module and attachment the Grendal sounds like a powerful head-shot weapon at medium range. Since if one bullet misses, the other two might cinch it.

If it's too slow, try [Rapid Fire], otherwise don't use Grendal as a Spray weapon, it's not a spray weapon.

I've been running with the Grendel the last few matches - it's a very unforgiving gun. I don't have a lot of success with it. 9 times outta 10 I will get slaughtered by your standard issue SCAR spray n prayer. If you have really good aim/reflex skills then this gun would really suit you due to it's power but you have to make your bullets count.

I sometimes wonder if having a better processor would improve my success. My FPS can sometimes be choppy so CQB with this doesn't go so well. Although being a bit **** probably doesn't help either!

Very well put.

People often presume that one style of play with assault rifle "x" will work for assault rifle "y" which is simply not the case. If you are having trouble with the "triple shot" the grendel provides, you might wanna try single shot. It will provide less recoil and more control over where your bullets go. The primary 3 shot mode is very good at taking enemies down in 1 shot if cloaked or 2-3 if armored. It also shoot a very nice distance. With a little practice, it is a very versatile weapon.

its to slow that doesnt just mean Close combat i dont know why all people assume that its to slow ina game where people run fast and can jump fast/high and if you intend to use it medium range you might as well just take a sniper rifle

It's actually really usable at mid - long range. Put an assault scope on it. As a secondary you use the AY with extended mags as a viable close range gun. especialy when rapid fire is involved.

Retriever II is also really helpful, because you will get uavs with a 2 killstreak. That enables you to plan your engagements as you want.

as i said before if you intend just to sit back and fire from long range you might as well just use a sniper rifle

I think this Monday, I owned one server 21/6, on Skyline map, with Grendel...
I was playing that whole day with only Grendel, and mostly I was in top 3 players on every map.
It's my favorite weapon! You just have to adapt to it, think different.

It's mid/long range... I'm taking sniper with it, just using Iron Sight. Imagine how well it acts with scope
If you enter close combat, you have to dodge enemy's fire by jumping/strafing and you have to be very precise: 2-3 bursts and enemy is down! B)

im not immediately doubting you but where the people you were playing against any good?

Whenever I use the grendel, I put the underbarrel shotgun as an attachment.

That way, it works marvelously at medium/long range and at a very short range, so you can use it inside and outside of buildings.

I can't say they were pros but they were not noobs neither. B)
Maybe I had little bit of luck, cos match before that I wasn't in top 3.

But what I'm trying to say is that Grendel is a good weapon when you know how to use it properly. And other thing I'm saying is that Grendel can be used in close-range combat also, because I was good on Wall Street map too (with maximum nanosuit, I was 3rd or so).

I'm using Extended Clip with it, because standard clip offers you 24 bullets (8 bursts), and with extended clip it has 30 bullets (10 bursts).

I admit that sometimes I have to switch to Scar or Feline when I have to deal with fast opponents that are hard to hit with Grendel, but most of the time I play with Grendel and i love it!

I like the Grendel. but my play style is more of stealthy mobile sniper. At close range I can't do crap with the Grendel. So when I use it, I mid-long range raqe. Pull out my orbital strike, and then run into some n00b SCAR **** that kills me.

I like it though.

Bottom line. You dont' know how to make use of the grendel's strengths and weaknesses.

I kick ass with the grendel all the time because I know how to use it.

i've tried it to rapidly switching to the shotty tends to glitch the weapon and not make it fire in addition i find it to slow and you have to be spot on otherwise your screwed

What? No. L2P.

Like one of the other users said, put rapid fire on it. I do that with single shot and a holographic sight. If you can click fast and get consistent upper chest/HS, it's pretty decent. But yeah, its more for a long range fight.

I love my grendel.

I love my grendel.

And unfortunately for the rest of us; sbump can pawn with that tool /cry.

Haha, have you played against me?

First time I used assault scope with the Grendel, I got max nanosuit... every other time I svcked with it

Grendel with Rapid Fire and Iron Sights = owns!

I find Rapid fire makes no difference

the grendel is redundant theres no reason to use it over the scar i can just as easily fire over long distances with the scar compared the grendel and if someone comes up close on me i have a much better chance of coming out alive. SCAR is automatic meaning its easier to hit a sprinting/jumping enemy

Yeah but it's very effective at long range though. It's a lot more powerful so that's why I think you get short bursts.

it is possible to kill one with a single burst on torso? I believe if your opponent has his max armor mode on, 1 burst will not do the job and we will easily be killed point and spray players..
