== Overview ==
=== Design details ===
The ''Grinder'' is a named variant of the T-2 EW/H, upgraded to conjure a powerful, [[electromagnetic pulse|EMP]]-capable gravimetric vortex from the point of impact. It uses the T-2 EW/H's model albeit with various changes to the coloring, including the head carrying a white color broken up by yellow and red stripes, and the rest of the weapon also having a red color scheme.{{Ref/Reuse|REQ}}

=== Service history ===
In late [[2558]], [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] serving aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} trained with the ''Grinder'' in [[War Games]] simulations.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

== Gameplay ==
=== ''Halo 5: Guardians'' ===
The ''Grinder'' appears as a Level 5 Ultra Rare REQ variant of the Gravity Hammer. Contrary to its in-game description, the ''Grinder'' is actually an advanced Gravity Hammer that spawns a powerful gravimetric vortex when swung. This vortex has an EMP effect that lasts 3.45 seconds and a large kill radius of 9.9 meters.{{Ref/Reuse|H5GA}} This enables the ''Grinder'' to be an effective weapon against groups of enemies and bosses, as well as an anti-vehicle weapon, although it cannot prevent splatters from vehicles, requiring the ''Grinder''{{'}}s user to boost to the side to avoid dying.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

==== Changes from the Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer ====
* Unleashes a powerful gravimetric vortex from the point of impact.
* Has an EMP effect.
