How to Kill the Grustrag Three
By [FALC] Jithvan
This Guide will explain everything you need to know about the Grustrag Three.

As of Update 12.3.0 DE_Rebecca Said the following:
"Vem Tabook, Shik Tal and Leekter. Remember their names, Tenno. They may be coming for you!"

"Vay Hek has warned that any Tenno supporting the Corpus during invasions will face consequences; we now know what those consequences are. Riddled with mutation, violent tendencies and the urge to kill, these Grineer defects - otherwise known as The Grustrag Three - pose a high level threat. They have been detected in the Solar System and have been taking notice of Tenno support for Corpus during invasions. If it is the Brakk you seek, the Grustrag Three you must defeat."

As of this Update we still dont know anything much about this Grineer Deathsqaud, I will Update this guide as more information flows in.

In this guide I will explain the following:
Who are the Grustrag Three?
How do we find them?
What are their Tactics?
What do they Drop?
And How to Kill Them.

Who are the Grustrag Three?
Vem Tabook, Shik Tal and Leekter



They are Riddled with mutation, violent tendencies and the urge to kill, these are Grineer defects.
Vay Hek commands these warriors and will use them to try and kill you if you support the Corpus during Invasions.

Leekter is a member of The Grustrag Three. He wields a Manticore axe in battle.
Shik Tal is a member of The Grustrag Three. He wields a Marelok and a giant shield similar to Shield Lancers.
Vem Tabook is the leader of The Grustrag Three. He uses a Hek shotgun.

How do we find them?
According the Update notes you can receive a Deathmark by supporting the Corpus During Invasions. Just like their Corpus Counter-Part the "Harvester".
You know you got the Deathmark when you receive this Message from Vay Hek:



So to spawn them once you get a Deathmark you need to do Grineer Mission.

*NOTE* We havn't still determined the exact percentage chance that the Grineer Death Sqaud will spawn in a Grineer Mission (Any Mission Fighting Against the Grineer)

but to Maximize your chance of getting them to spawn your entire team must have the Death Mark as death marks do indeed stack up to increase your chances to spawn them.

Before appearing, the Lotus will try to warn you, and eventually pleads you to abort the mission. a White circular ring will also appear around the Targeted Player for a Short Period of time till they spawn.

*Note*We have Found Invasion Missions and the first 5 minutes of Appolodurus- Mercury the be the best missions to try and farm the G3.
What are their Tactics?
They confirmed to be close ranged fighters as they also all have close range weapons. They are suprisingly agile and have a ability that seems to be similar to Excaliburs Super Jump.

They Cannot Dispel You Warframe Abilities.

They may work together to try and circle you so always keep your distance, getting up on higher ground may be a good option for you.

They will try to close in on you as soon as they spawn.

Leeker is a Full Melee Attacker while Shik Tal & Vem Tabook will keep there distance.

They Will Occasionally Use something similar to a flash bang to blind you for some time, during this period it is essential that you Dont stop moving.
What do they Drop?
Mods, Neurodes and Brakk Parts.

Each member of the Death Squad will count as a single boss so each of them have a chance of dropping any of the Above.

Mods -
Split Chamber
Barrel Diffusion
Hell's Chamber
Natural Talent

Brakk Parts -
Main BP, Receiver, Barrel

How to Kill Them!
No matter what you do, do not go tooo close to any of them.
They may gang up on you if you get caught to any of their attacks
If you have a non-tank warframe keep your distance and pummel them.
Focus on One Enemy at a Time and dont try to take them all out at once.
Use you warframe abilities to keep them away e.g Frosts Snowglobe, Oberons Hallowed Ground, Rhinos Stomp.

ALL WARFRAME ABILITIES AFFECT THEM

If you are in a Team when the lights flicker, plan ahead, and choose your targets. Also try Spreading out so that it would be harder for them to take you all out in one go if you are bunched together.

Valkyr's Hysteria can rape them if you use it properly.

They Cant Climb! But they can Jump -_-

Corrosive/Viral Elemental Combo works wonders on them!

Run and Gun - No explaination required :)


<IF YOU DIE>
If the Grustrag Three manage to kill you, the mission that you are on will automatically fail, taking you back to the main menu. You will find a new inbox message from the Lotus saying that The Grustrag have attached a corrupting device called the Grustrag Bolt to your warframe, crippling your powers when attempting to fight them. Attached to the same message will be a Bolt Release blueprint to release the Grustrag Bolt.

Good Luck Guys! Kick them Grineer Ass!
