Like what? First he does a 360 no scope and next he kills me even if he lunges in the wrong direction. He has heat seeking missiles and can destroy any vehicle in a matter of seconds (i spawned in a banshee ultra and got it destroyed in less than the time it took for me to spawn in it.) Each one of his missile attacks rips off one or two layers of tank armor. It also gives spartans no chance to run away Like Wtf I just spawned in. Also for some reason it is allowed to be in the monument making the place a death trap for anyone spawning there. The worst part is that he is a bullet sponge that has high mobility, (at least warden is slow, but the mech can jump from miles away to pulverize your tank). 343 please nerf the guy and make him balanced, or at least in regular wz.
Welcome to Warzone Firefight Spartan where enemies are bullet sponges and where a grunt can kill you by punching you the -Yoink-. Good Luck Spartan.

lol this was regular Wz not ff
The mech is a pain in the -Yoink- in regular Warzone too. I lost one of my 4 Phaeton Helios’ to a mech when it decided to peg me from across the map. Zero kills with a really rare REQ because of some AI I hadn’t attacked and wasn’t really in range of? -Yoink- that.
Edit: Whooops didn’t realize you were talking about regular WZ my bad.

Exactly this. But you aren’t truly fighting Bullet Sponges… you’re fighting a much worse enemy. Broken spawn mechanics and 30 second resapwn timers.
My bad, I thought you meant FF.
A 343 employee kind of implied that it would probably get fixed in the future so there’s hope. I don’t remember the thread where he posted that so I can’t link it.

Same principal.
His needles are a bit inconsistent some times. From a small amount destroying me to as much as 10 times as much to destroy me.
I hate all the AI in this game. That’s one of the biggest reasons I don’t play Warzone much. AI DO NOT AND WILL NOT MISS. I hate it so much!!! I have been shot down by the Grunt Mech from crazy distances before. On ARC, I was above one of the armories headed to the enemy’s core when I got shot down by the mech from the far other side of the map where he spawns. Literally, the 10-15 games I’ve played sense the Grunt was patched in, I’ve have yet to see the Mech even taken out. Most people just ignore him.
For me the most enrages enemy is prometheus. Especially in the mission “protect point” when you’re naked and without adequate equipment. If the Covenant is clear to play, then prometheus not only crushed a number, but also much heavier than the elites. Furthermore, they have a weapon with autoguider that makes it impossible to hide from them.
Horror, in a bad sense.

I’ve noticed this too. Sometimes it takes 2 needles to destroy my tank, other times I’ll be in a Warthog and somehow take 10 needles without blowing up.
ugh i agree with this OP. I remember this one time is was trying to kill some guy camping on the exit of the red base on Raid on Apex 7, while i was climbing BOOM! Grunt mech killed you, then it was the other way around, i was sniping and BOOM killed by the grunt mech. That’s bs if you ask me.
How do you even destroy a grunt mech in this game?
Srry if this sounds noobish, but i really haven’t played firefight and in regular warzone after one insta killed me, I avoid them like the plague.

You can:
A) Hope to whatever religious figure you may believe in (RNGesus works) that he doesn’t target you while feeding him plenty of Scorpion or Wraith fire;
or
B) Again, hope to whatever religious figure you may believe in that he doesn’t target you while taking down the Goblin’s shield, then hoping you can kill the Grunt inside.
I’ve noticed most people just ignore him in regular warzone. Way too much trouble and if you sit there in a tank putting 400 shots into him, you can bet an enemy is gonna plant a grenade on your tank. In FF I don’t try very hard when he spawns on apex, because your vehicle gets instakilled, and even if you kill him there are 2 hunters afterwards. Only won that round once. I don’t waste reqs on it anymore.

Yeah, that or they’ll take potshots at him for the duration of the game until his health is low enough for people to try and kill him. I usually don’t even bother with him since it’s not worth it.
Sometimes in Warzone everybody ignore him because he is just a bullet sponge
Use ghost ultras on him. If you move only horizontally, the needles don’t do any damage, and the ultra shots shred him.
Those red needles can snipe you from across the friggin map.
