CODEX
With pinpoint accuracy, the Grinlok lever-action repeating rifle can easily find the soft spot on any target.

The **Grinlok** is a Grineer lever-action rifle crafted from the Chem lab via clan research. By nature, the Grinlok sports high damage with accurate delivery, supported by its high critical damage and very high status chance, but its extremely low fire rate and small magazine size hampers its ability to manage crowds of enemies.

ERROR: Conclave:Grinlok not found

## Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily  damage.

**Advantages:**

* Highest base damage of all semi-automatic rifles.
	+ High  damage and good  damage – effective against shields and health.
* Good critical chance.
* High critical damage multiplier.
* Highest status chance of all semi-automatic rifles.
* Fairly high reload speed.
* Little to no vertical recoil.
* High accuracy.
* Very small spread.
* Excellent ammo efficiency.
* Has a File:Madurai Pol.svg polarity.
* Can equip the Grinlok-exclusive {{#vardefine:Name|Deadly Sequence}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found and {{#vardefine:Name|Grinloked}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found (Conclave only) mods.

**Disadvantages:**

* Low  damage – less effective against armor.
* Lowest fire rate of all semi-automatic rifles.
* Lowest magazine size of all semi-automatic rifles.
* Critical chance is disproportionately lower than critical multiplier, making critical builds without Deadly Sequence unviable.

## Weapon Loadouts

* See Category:Conclave:Grinlok Build to see how players mod this weapon.
* See Category:Conclave:Grinlok Guides for guides on how to use this weapon effectively.
* For more general help with weapons, you may wish to browse Category:Weapon Guides.

## Notes

* The Grinlok often ragdolls enemies on lethal shots, a side effect of it dealing mainly  damage.
* The Grinlok's focus on both  and  damage makes it generally effective against the Corpus and the Infested.

## Tips

* While the Grinlok is similar to the Latron, it comes with a lower magazine capacity and slower rate of fire, making it more punishing for missed shots. Focus on aiming at heads or weak spots.
	+ With {{#vardefine:Name|Split Chamber}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, the second shot created will always deal the same proc as the original shot, essentially dealing the same status effect twice on the target.
* {{#vardefine:Name|Shred}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found is an excellent mod to help the Grinlok with crowd control, as it increases its slow rate of fire while piercing through groups of enemies, letting each shot deal its massive damage to multiple targets.
* Using the augment {{#vardefine:Name|Deadly Sequence}}{{M}} "{{#var:Name}}" not found, it's possible for players to create a viable crit-status hybrid build for the Conclave:Grinlok.

## Trivia

* The News tab in the UI mistakenly referred to this gun as Grinlo**c**k.
* The weapon's name may be a combination/corruption of "Grineer" and "Flintlock", the latter of which was an early firing mechanism in guns used in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.
	+ Despite the unusual combination of technologies mentioned, a lever-action flintlock rifle did exist in real life.
* While Marelok is, theoretically, a sawn-off pistol version of this rifle, its magazine is curiously relocated.
