About Grendel
Grendel eats enemies to heal and buff himself, then regurgitates them as acidic bile. He has the third-highest base health of all Warframes, and his signature Masseter makes him immune to crowd control during heavy attacks.
The main blueprint is bought in the Market. The components are rewards from special Europa missions, unlocked with Locators bought from the Arbitration Honors vendor in a Relay for Vitus Essence. These missions have heavy restrictions, so prepare accordingly.
Grendel was added with Update 26.0 (October 2019).
