Cast Changes
- Modifies Regurgitate with: Regurgitate Augment: Regurgitated enemies bounce up to 3 times, creating gas clouds that last 8s and inflict nearby enemies with Gas Status Effect.
- Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
- Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.
Worth the Slot?
- Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Grendel.
- Skip it if the base Regurgitate already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Regurgitate when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Regurgitate with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Regurgitate still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 4, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Grendel.

Mod Scaling
Strength

Duration
- Duration is low priority on Regurgitate unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Increases Regurgitate’s reach, radius, or targeting distance.
Efficiency
- Regurgitate costs energy each cast — Efficiency (or strong regen) keeps the loop comfortable on long missions.
Priority
Stack the stats that actually move this ability’s needle, then Efficiency for uptime.
Mission Use Cases
| Mission | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Regurgitate still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Regurgitate to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Regurgitate only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Regurgitate is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe. |
Comparisons

Vs similar tools on other frames — Regurgitate is tuned for Grendel’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
