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. | The ''Grinder'' appears as a Level 5 Ultra Rare REQ variant of the Gravity Hammer.
