In Pikmin X: Deep Freeze
The Ranged Groink is similar to the Gatling Groink, but it never wanders; it only ever stays mounted in place, sitting on top of a bed of crystal. It does, however, have a much greater attacking distance and can gun down Pikmin from afar without having to leave its sentry position. First, it aims with a red laser similar to the Man-at-Legs, then it fires three explosive high-velocity projectiles at its target in quick succession.

Leaders and Pikmin can easily avoid the attack by taking cover, then charging in to attack while the creature reloads. Rock Pikmin can also shatter its windshield, exposing more of the creature's body to attack. The Ranged Groink cannot revive itself after death.
