The turret is larger than that of the Scorpion and features a separate access hatch, as it is designed to support two [[M310 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|M310 120mm smooth-bore high-velocity cannons]], as opposed to the M808's single [[M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannon|M512 90mm cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The cannons can be outfitted with [[S1 canister shell]]s, which produce a high explosive blast radius, increasing the weapons' lethality against all targets.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The Grizzly's powerful cannons are capable of breaking through an opponent's shields and hull in a single strike.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

In-game, the Grizzly is an extremely capable vehicle, suitable for defeating large numbers of enemy troops and vehicles. Since it possesses a secondary canister shell attack, it can kill infantry with ease due to the shell's large blast radius. This canister shell ability is the same upgrade that can be applied to the Scorpion tank by the player and the upgrade works equally well for both. The armor plating is superior to that of most vehicles, able to survive multiple shots from a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]]'s [[assault cannon]], and can survive a sustained hit from a {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}}'s [[Focus cannon|main gun]] twice as long as a Scorpion. The coaxial machine gun has a faster firing rate and inflicts more damage per hit than the Scorpion's, at the cost of a longer reload time. Its main disadvantages are the cost it requires to be researched, its reduced effectiveness against other vehicles and its minor ineffectiveness against airborne units. Like the Scorpion, it is "hard countered" by [[SP42 Cobra]], especially while they are in lockdown mode. Though the in-game model features smoke grenade launchers they are not usable. In the campaign level [[Relic Interior]], the player can use Professor [[Ellen Anders]] to repair their two Grizzlies while in other levels they can be repaired the same way as any other vehicles.

In ''Halo Wars''{{'}} [[skirmish]] and [[multiplayer]] modes, the Grizzly serves as one of Sergeant John Forge's unique units. It is accessed as an upgrade to the Scorpion.

The player can operate the M850 Grizzly in the campaign levels [[Mission 18: Assault on the Covenant Landing Zones|Assault on the Covenant Landing Zones]], [[Mission 27: Breach of the Bulwark|Breach of the Bulwark]], and [[Mission 25: Behind Enemy Lines|Behind Enemy Lines]]. The coaxial M247T machine gun is present but can be used by the player by pulling the trigger while the main cannon is fired with the grenade trigger. Instead, as with the game's version of the Scorpion, the player may utilize an M247T mounted on top of the main turret; this machine gun may be rotated 360 degrees. The Grizzly is the most powerful vehicle in the game, far outclassing the firepower and armor of the Scorpion and {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}. Its main cannons have a high rate of fire and produce a heavy degree of splash damage, allowing the player to keep targets under near-constant fire.

In both ''Spartan Assault'' and ''Spartan Strike'', the Grizzly can destroy any vehicle wreckage by simply running over it. However, the Grizzly will take damage, albeit very little, if the player runs over any abandoned civilian vehicles without destroying them first, as the explosion from the vehicle being run over will damage the Grizzly. The Grizzly is an overall powerful assault vehicle capable of plowing through enemy forces, leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

In ''Halo Wars 2'', Grizzlies feature missile launchers in place of their canister shell ability. Grizzlies are given to the player to use in [[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]], and are available in the ''[[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]'' campaign by using Major [[Elijah Vaughan]]'s Grizzly Battalion Leader Power. Like their ''Halo Wars'' counterparts, Grizzlies are exclusive to Sergeant Forge in multiplayer, though they now replace [[M808S Scorpion|Scorpions]] outright, and can be built at the [[UNSC Garage]]. Grizzlies are no longer listed as Super Units in ''Halo Wars 2'', the only UNSC Super Unit being the [[G81 Condor]] gunship. In [[Blitz]], they cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|160}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
*The Grizzly is uncannily similar in appearance and role to the iconic [[cnc:Mammoth tank|Mammoth tank]] from the [[cnc:|''Command & Conquer'' franchise]]. Both the Grizzly and the Mammoth rest on four independently suspended tracks, possess dual cannons and secondary weapons (particularly missile launchers, as equipped by the ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' version), and are the heaviest tank available to their respective factions.
*Like most UNSC vehicles, the Grizzly vaguely resembles its animal namesake. Both the tank and the [[Wikipedia:Grizzly bear|grizzly bear]] are extremely large and resistant to harm, and both possess powerful attacks; the bear is capable of decapitating a human with a single swipe of its paw, while the M850 MBT can destroy all but the most powerful ground targets with relative impunity.

*The Grizzly was said to be equipped with a [[flamethrower]] early in the development of ''Halo Wars''.{{Ref/Mag|Official Xbox Magazine|Year=2009|Month=January|Issue=42|Page=38-43}} However, as the same interview sensationally described the [[Cyclops]] as a "colossal bipedal mech", the claim may have been erroneous.
