The ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' version of Grifball was introduced as part of the [[Hammer Storm]] update of February 24, 2016. It builds upon a new generic "ball game mode" used to create various gametypes like Grifball, [[Assault]], [[Oddball]] and [[Ricochet]]. The default [[Grifball Court]] map was the first to be released as part of Hammer Storm. | The ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' version of Grifball was introduced as part of the [[Hammer Storm]] update of February 24, 2016.

Players are now launched to the field with man cannons similar to the [[Breakout]] round start, and goal explosions now feature fireworks. The gameplay is similar to the default ''Halo 4'' incarnation with single round and respawning ball, except the ball must be picked up with X button (as in earlier games and in ''Halo 4'' Grifball Pro). The new movement options of ''Halo 5: Guardians'' also have an effect on gameplay: the railings surrounding the maps, which were previously only accessible by careful Gravity Hammer boosting by other players, can now be [[Spartan abilities#Clamber|clambered]] on. [[Spartan abilities#Ground Pound|Ground pound]] can also be effective, especially when carrying the ball; a well-targeted ground pound can both clear the surroundings of the goal and score at the same time. The game also features new Grifball medals. | Players are now launched to the field with man cannons similar to the [[Breakout]] round start, and goal explosions now feature fireworks; much like ''Halo 4'' variant, the explosions aren't particularly lethal.

As ''Halo 5: Guardians'' doesn't have [[loadout]]s, players always spawn with Energy Sword as the primary weapon and Gravity Hammer as secondary weapon. | ||
