The Grinder is a highly effective close range anti-armor weapon. Its flint and grinder system works like a flamethrower, searing through thick vehicle armor and wreaking havok on enemy structures.
Appearance[]
The Grinder is a two-handed gun with three rotating grinders at the front. The grinders spin in opposite directions when the gun is fired, creating a highly incendiary shower of sparks and fire.
Properties[]
The Grinder's main role is anti-vehicle and structure, and its high-powered streams of sparks can accomplish just that. The stream has a charge up of one second, but the damage dealt is impressive. The stream itself stretches a few feet out from the gun before dissipating.
Weapon Mastery[]
Earning kills with the Grinder increases your mastery of it.

Strategy/Tips[]
- The Grinder is somewhat effective at extinguishing troops, but only at closer ranges. The Union Shotgun may work better in these scenarios, but the grinder is a constant stream of damage with a slightly longer range in comparison.
- The real power of the Grinder is its ability to take out structures and vehicles. Infiltrate an enemy base with one to see its true destructive potential.
- When using against troops, stay close and stay on target and it can kill in an instant.
Trivia[]
- The Grinder "replaces" the Flamethrower (Flamethrower, Man-Portable, Type 2) from Warhawk.
- Mathematically, the Grinder has the highest potential overall DPS (Damage Per Second) in the game.
