How was it "nerfed" exactly? I didn't really play with it my first time through before nanosuit reboot. It still kills with two 3 round bursts or what seems like two single shots to head.

I use the Grendel all the time, I like to add the assault scope and visor 3 to neutralize those pesky snipers, cloakers and occupied turrets. The key to the Grendel is distance, patience and keeping an eye on the radar.
It may have been nerfed slightly, but its still potent enough for me.

It seems really nerfed to me... it used to kill like how BigDaddy-CF- says but now it seems to take forever. I ended up not using it anymore, which was a shame because I used to love it for what it was (not like those people who complain how useless it is)

To me Grendel was the worst weapon from the start...gave it many tries but still the weapons blows.

Now that I'm on my second playthrough I've been using it a lot here lately. I love the single shot attachment. Two to the head and down they go. Maybe they did remove some of the kick, I didn't really use it much before so I wouldn't know for sure. Are there any other weapons that pack more punch per shot in the assault rifle class of weapons? I mean it seems to me like it takes two shots to the head to bring people down, are there any assault rifles that take people out with one shot to the head and have single shot attachment?

I used to like the grendel more, but now so so. Not sure if its nerfed. Maybe just your frame rate is lower and its throwing your accuracy off?

yeah i think its nerfed...

i used to use it with single shot, its very deadly and accurate... much like the FY71 single shot...

but i tried doing it again since 1.8, but i think the damage is reduced for body shots...

And on top of that it's really bulky, you can barely strafe with it, and it takes forever to ADS if you don't have Weapon Pro

I notice no difference from how the grendel was to how it is now. The problem is with all the guns, is having to many bullets I'll keep making that point until more people realize it.

Shotguns, rifles (minus grendel) and the Feline all have far to many bullets to bother aiming. The reason why the Grendel is harder is due to the clip size disadvantage.
