A new mount in World of Warcraft is truly deadly. At least for a part of the inhabitants of Azeroth.
Mounts in World of Warcraft are among the biggest items that can showcase your character. With now well over 1,000 different mounts – including robots, ghosts, or elementals – there is the perfect mount for every hero and heroine. However, the next patch will introduce a mount with a feature that has never existed before: The mount deals damage.
Currently, most are playing WoW Legion Remix:
Which mount is being referred to? The mount in question is the “Geargrinder Mk. 11,” which you can obtain for the meta achievement “Worldsoul-Searching.” The mount is essentially a 1:1 version of the first boss from the raid “Liberation of Lorenhall”.
What makes the mount so special? The Geargrinder Mk. 11 is the first mount that deals damage in World of Warcraft when you mount up. Not to big enemies or opposing players in PvP, but to the smallest inhabitants of Azeroth – the so-called “critters” or “small animals.” So rats, squirrels, beetles, and the like. What this looks like is shown in this short YouTube video:
This is a reference to the behavior of the tank in the raid. Many of you will surely remember: Whenever the Geargrinder Mk. 11 appeared in the raid – that is, before the actual fight – it would make a small round through the arena. All player characters caught by the tank would be instantly dead. Basically, there was no raid night where a few players didn’t die before the first boss fight (even if sometimes nasty items were to blame).
How do you get the mount? The mount is available for the major meta achievement of the expansion “The War Within,” which also comes with patch 11.2.7 in early December. The achievement essentially requires you to have fully played all major content patches of The War Within. We have outlined the exact requirements for the mount achievement in this article. Please note that the details of the achievement may change before the patch’s release.
