The claymores help trap flanks or jumpout angles that are commonly utilized by aggressive defenders or roamers.

To play Grim effectively, you will require a good deal of map knowledge and coordination with the rest of the attacking team. This ensures that, as a Grim player, you can utilize your Kawan Hive launcher to assist the team in taking map control, planting the defuser, clearing corners, or creating post-plant setups.

During the drone phase, aggressively utilize your drone to spot defenders, check their utility setups, and provide intel on the overall defender lineup. During the action phase, if your drone survives, help your team clear out roamers or take map control using your Kawan Hive launcher.

When the time comes to execute a proper attack on the objective site, utilize the primary gadget to provide coverage to the support player who is tasked with the defuser plant role. A point to note is that if map control is a crucial part of the attacking team, then Grim's survival is necessary.

As a support player, assist your team with your second drone by providing intel on roamers and defenders. Also, ensure that you are utilizing your secondary gadgets to provide ample support and utility to your team.
