Trivia

Quotes

Click Expand to View Additional Quotes


Introducing the Growler, an agile and durable Unique tank with powerful base-cracking capabilities. After taking a single hit in battle, the Growler "armors up" and takes significantly less damage for a short duration. Its spiked front end allows it to completely destroy walls by running over them, and its powerful short-range cannon is great for softening tough base targets.
  — Rampage - Shadow Ops Campaign [src]

An agile and durable Unique tank. Features an "armor up" mode that reduces damage, drones that target Power Plants, and the ability to demolish walls by running over them. Fantastic base-cracker! (Cannot be used as a base defender)
  — In-Game Description 



RIPPED TO SHREDS - Its bite is much, much worse than its bark, Commander.
