Modern Warfare 3 - How to Beat Gorm

List of Contents

How to Beat Gorm'gant

Aim for the Purple Auras

Modern Warfare 3 - Aim for the Purple Auras

Gorm'gant's primary weakness are the purple auras glowing out of its scales on its body. Focus on shooting at these auras to quickly reduce Gorm'gant's HP.

Keep in mind that it may be difficult to properly aim your weapon at the auras as Gorm'gant will frequently be moving its body around, so it's probably best to fire in burst shots rather than emptying your whole clip in a single spray.

Run Around When it Digs Underground

Modern Warfare 3 - Gorm

When Gorm'gant burrows underground, keep running around as once you get caught, it will jump out of the ground and eat you, resulting in an instant downed status.

Try to steer clear of its path by observing the sand and avoiding its trail. We recommend bringing Self-Revive Kits just in case your teammates won't be able to get you up while they're being chased by Gorm'gant.

Destroy Hostile Harvester Orbs

Modern Warfare 3 - Harvester Orbs Gorm

Hostile Harvester Orbs will also be flying around the battle zone and will damage you once you get hit by it. One great tip is to have at least one or two squad members prioritize on shooting and destroying these harvesting orbs, while the rest of the team can focus on killing Gorm'gant.

Juggernaut

Modern Warfare 3 - Juggernaut Buy Station

The Juggernaut lets you to equip a minigun that has an extremely rapid firing rate and superb damage. This allows you to damage and deplete Gorm'gant's health pool faster, and also you'll be able to withstand attacks as the Juggernaut suit makes you more durable.

How to Get Juggernaut

Sentry Turrets

Modern Warfare 3 - Deploy Turrets While Fighting Gorm

Deploy Sentry Turrets around the vicinity of Gorm'gant to assist you in dealing damage to it. These turrets will also come in handy as they'll also shoot zombies trying to sneak up behind your squad.
