The Grizzly is a heavily armored tank developed by Sergeant John Forge.[1] It was used by the Marines stationed aboard the Template:UNSCship in 2531 during the Human-Covenant War.
Overview
The Grizzly is an upgrade to the M808B Main Battle Tank. It is outfitted with two cannons, which are equipped with canister shells, and a coaxial machine gun. It appears only in Halo Wars. In the campaign, it is available during the level Relic Interior. In skirmish and multiplayer, it is available after completely upgrading the Scorpion when Sergeant Forge is selected as the player's hero unit.[2] Once it has been researched, it can be purchased at the Vehicle Depot.
In Combat
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 decimate ground infantry squads with ease due to its large area damage. The armor plating has also been improved, able to survive multiple shots from a Hunter's Assault Cannon, and can survive a sustained hit from a Scarab's 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 and its minor ineffectiveness against airborne units. Like the Scorpion, it is "hard countered" in-game by Cobras, especially while they are in lockdown mode.
- Resources: 1800 (upgrade for Scorpion) 500 (for individual unit).
- Minimum Tech Level: 4 (upgrade for Scorpion) 2 (for individual unit once researched).
- Population Count: 3
Trivia
- Originally, the Grizzly was stated to be equipped with a flamethrower, but this was removed from the final game.[2]
- The Grizzly is noticeably similar in appearance to the iconic Mammoth Tanks of the Command & Conquer franchise. Both the Grizzly and the Mammoth rest on four independently suspended tracks, possess dual cannons and secondary weapons, and are the heaviest armor available to their respective factions.
