A Grineer Heavy Gunner. Little woman, big gun.
One of the most dangerous Grineer units, the Heavy Gunner is a walking tank equipped with a Gorgon machine-gun.
Identified by their taller, thinner frame and female voice, Heavy Gunners are capable of laying down suppressive fire to support their teammates. If left unchecked, they can tear through players' shields and health very quickly, especially on Warframes with lighter armor.
In addition to her Gorgon minigun, the Heavy Gunner can punch the ground and knock down Tenno who get too close.
The Heavy Gunner does have weaknesses, however - she is still capable of being knocked down, does not regenerate shielding after taking damage, and has a very long reload time. Take advantage of her reload time to get in close and finish her off.

Tactics
The Heavy Gunner is a formidable opponent, but not invincible.
- Weapons with Electrical mod will stop them from firing their Gorgon.
- Loki's Disarm ability will rob them of their Gorgon, and most of their threat capacity with it. However, they are still capable of performing their Ground Punch attack.
- Headshots are highly effective.
- As mentioned above, the Heavy Gunner cannot regenerate shields after taking HP damage.
