Okay, I love the new addition of the grunt goblin. However, when you are in matchmaking having a good game, that tends to destroy it. I was in a game, spawned a temple banshee with the wheelman mod, and then it was gone after a series of purple/pink needles. Not the red fury needles, but the pink ones. Destroyed a perfect banshee and wasted a req card that is hard to come by. This should be addressed. It needs to be nerfed or something. Just the needler it uses. Everything else I’m game. And that’s it. What do you all think of the goblin? Have you encountered this frustration?
Bungie Plz Nerf!
Jokes aside, Do Not put a banshee (or flying vehicle in general) against a Goblin if you wish to survive. That is my only advice.
I feel it’s kinda OP. Those red tracking needles are the worst.
Strangely, I find the Plascaster to be an excellent Boss “go to”. provided you keep (a lot of) SOLID cover nearby.

My first encounter with the goblin involved getting one-shotted by the needle storm while behind cover in a corp scorpion. Honestly, ghosts aside vehicles don’t seem to help much against him. If you have to use them wraiths or scorpions and cover or ghosts and boosting are your best bets. I’ve seen some people use rockets hogs to some success, but I’m guessing that would be heavily dependent on the quality of your driver.
Wraiths have there place If you have someone guiding you with the shots. Scorpions far away with cover near bye to hide from the red needles works fine, You just have be where you need to be when He spawns or else he will make quick work of you.
If you have players shooting him plus a ( couple ghosts ) all at the same time from all sides, He gets mad and does circles, And doesn’t know what too do. It’s funny to watch.
the best way to take down the grunt goblin I’ve come to find out is to keep your distance when using any type of vehicle. But even then, vehicles aren’t always the best way to go. The best way to take out a grunt goblin in my experiance is to use the plasma caster and fire charged shots at his feet. (also I’ve never tried this myself but I once saw one person shoot charged shots with plasma pistols at the shield part and headshoted the grunt inside the mech.)

LOL! I don’t think the Grunt Goblin is OP. I really enjoy going up against him and love that he takes ALOT to be taken down.
Grunt Goblins usually end all of my Firefight sessions.
Personally I think the grunt jockey is op and it could be nerfed a little bit. The needle blast instantly kills a banshee (regular/temple).
i was ok with that until I spawned one in and got spawn killed on escape from arc but I was playing less than an hour ago (from the time this was posted ) , spawned in a phaeton Helios and instantly got killed by the grunt jockey on arc (I’m sure anyone reading this knows how hard it is to get a Helios from a gold pack ) so I would like to see the grunt jockey nerfed because of those reasons I also get the same suggestion from my friends when playing. Also battle of noctus with the mantises is really annoying ( been shot and killed through a wall by those things to many times)
Increase the amount of needles required for a supercombine on vehicles.
