"The heavily armored Scorpion tank inflicts massive damage with its primary cannon, but struggles to track fast-moving targets. One of the special Corps upgrades, the Grizzly, adds a double-barreled cannon and a flamethrower that can roast surrounding troops."
— GamePro, July Edition


Overview

The Grizzly is an upgrade to the M808B Main Battle Tank. It is out fitted with twin tank guns, a heavy machine gun and a shrapnel based rocket launcher as its secondary ability. It appears in Halo Wars, accessed by upgrading the Scorpion, and usable only by the UNSC. It is obtainable only with Sergeant John Forge as the UNSC player's hero unit.[1] Once it has been researched, it can be purchased at the vehicle depot.

In Combat

The Grizzly is an extremely capable unit, suitable for defeating large amounts of enemy armor and infantry. Since it posses a secondary shrapnel based rocket attack (similar but NOT the same as the Scorpion's canister shell attack), it can decimate infantry squads with ease due to large area damage. Its main disadvantages are its turret's slow turning rate and its cost.
