In ''Halo Wars 2'', Grizzlies feature missile launchers in place of their canister shell ability. Grizzlies are given to the player to use in [[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]], and are available in the ''[[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]'' campaign by using Major [[Vaughan]]'s Grizzly Battalion Leader Power. Like their ''Halo Wars'' counterparts, Grizzlies are exclusive to Sergeant Forge in multiplayer, though they now replace [[M808S Scorpion|Scorpions]] outright, and can be built at the [[UNSC Garage]]. Grizzlies are no longer listed as Super Units in ''Halo Wars 2'', the only UNSC Super Unit being the [[G81 Condor]] gunship. In [[Blitz]], they cost {{HW2BlitzEnergy|160}}.

*The Grizzly is uncannily similar in appearance and role to the iconic [[cnc:Mammoth tank|Mammoth tank]] from the [[cnc:|''Command & Conquer'' franchise]]. Both the Grizzly and the Mammoth rest on four independently suspended tracks, possess dual cannons and secondary weapons (particularly missile launchers, as equipped by the ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' version), and are the heaviest tank available to their respective factions.
*Like most UNSC vehicles, the Grizzly vaguely resembles its animal namesake. Both the tank and the [[Wikipedia:Grizzly bear|grizzly bear]] are extremely large and resistant to harm, and both possess powerful attacks; the bear is capable of decapitating a human with a single swipe of its paw, while the M850 MBT can destroy all but the most powerful ground targets with relative impunity.

*The Grizzly was said to be equipped with a [[flamethrower]] early in the development of ''Halo Wars''.{{Ref/Mag|Official Xbox Magazine|Year=2009|Month=January|Issue=42|Page=38-43}} However, as the same interview sensationally described the [[Cyclops]] as a "colossal bipedal mech", the claim may have been erroneous.
