Grendel advice

Post » Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:02 pm

Been experimenting with the Grendel, I tried Assault scope (with Energy Transfer, Retriever and Stealth Enhance) and at first it seems awesome, I go around pwning everyone, but now it svcks, so I swapped Retriever and Assault scope for Reflex sight and Weapon Pro.

Im a pro and I use grendel 2 pwn?

Its a great weapon if you can aim and dont spray and pray like with the scar.. -and scar ab carbine.


The silencer is useless in this game. Just makes the weapon itself weaker.
Use the weapon on medium 2 long distance with an appropriate scope.

or go berserk with the single fire mode. (if you got fast firing fingers)

Dont use the silencer.

If you are using burst fire (no single shot) get a shotgun attachment. Its the same as a jackal single shot (so its a one shot kill) except you only have a 2 shot clip. Great for those "oh no you don't moments" when they get close.

If your using single shot, use an iron sight although you lose your long range visibility.

Secondary shouldn't matter but I use the AY69. I may switch to a hammer or majestic later.

For Grendel I use Nano Recharge/Nano Vision/Weapon Pro.

Energy Tansfer, Stealth Enhance, Rapid Fire and then Reflex Sight/Assault Scope and Single Shot. Thanks to Rapid Fire you can shoot very fast and with Single Shot you get acceptable accuracy.

Does the rapid fire affect the burst fire?!
I thought I tried it without any effect?

I Use armor enhanced and cloak tracker(A great warning system if you can't use proxy alarm) and Mobility enhanced.
Really you need to go king off the hill with this set up and use your speed and armor too win fights at long range. Also find the highest place on the map because you can get there quick and own your subjects with an armored fist. :D

http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=26675 Topic talking about a grendel buff for those interested.

I've ran a lot of builds with Grendel trying to find something that sits well with me, I throw an ironsight and single shot on it though. Running with Nano Recharge, Covert Ops and Mobility Enhance. Using burst fire 50% of the time, depending where I'm at and the situation. It's very aggressive but I always do well with it.

I agree that the bullet speed should be up'd to make it a little more signifigant, BUT this gun actually takes some skill, god forbid. If you have the gun in capable hands though it's not as crappy as it seems..

tl;dr If you can't land a head shot, don't bother picking it up. Stay with a SCAR.

I would highly suggest using red dot sights. It is way more versatile for close and long range. The key to the gun is the aim. Single shot easily downs a person outside of armor mode in 2 single headshots I believe. Just make sure you stay your distance and not get jumped behind because it's hard to recover. And if you use burst rounds, go with the light shotgun attachment. Oh baby is that a beaut. Then it becomes the meanest close quarter/mid-long range gun in the game.

Here is a little flavor of what it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5xmNsXQpl0&feature=channel_video_title

:) Good luck on the Grendel. It's my favorite weapons of choice.

With rapid fire module and single shot setting the grendal can be a beast at long-mid range. The damn thing is loud though adding a silencer reduces damage.

Its a weapon that needs a player who is very skilled at aiming

Nope, unfortunately not. The bursts are still as crappy as before. But it affects Singleshot.
