I farmed my grabs in Dagger/Cerb/Bronze solos. There's a ton of waist-high cover down on the bottom level and the Cerbies use all of it a lot.

I unintentionally got a buttload of grabs on Reactor the other night. Everywhere you see those square waist-high bits of cover or the waist-high pipes... lots of enemies like to hide there and those are easy places to quickly cover yourself and get a grab.

I like london for them. Camp in the top area and they all come to you. I got a lot of grabs there.

This is the reference that helped me the most. If I recall, FB White, first 5 waves, gives you ~30 grabs.

Don't ruin our fun, K1ng, this is how we get to look like experts! 
The last couple of times I did it, I farmed everything I needed in only a couple of games.
I picked Giant/Cerberus bronze, soloed, and camped the control room (the highest area of the map.)
Cerberus will just jump back and forth across the low cover, if you stay on top of them, and you can farm 60, 70 grabs in 1 bronze solo.
Duration tactical cloak will make it a lot easier, if you feel like burning a respec card (or have one spec'd, already.)
To speed it up, and avoid headaches, I'd actually just farm grabs for 5 waves, bleed out on purpose after wave 6 credits (or earlier, really...) and start again. It's actually faster than forging ahead through 7, 8 and 9, where the unit combinatins can start to make it more trouble than its worth to camp the control room.
You'll probably use some ops packs and medigel, in the process, but for getting them out of the way quickly, I find it's worth it.

FBW farming room vs geth.
Take cover behind the counter facing the stairs. Every so often hop over and switch to the counter infront of you depeding where the enemies are. Use a krogan to help take alot of hits too.
Easy, done, sorted.

Actually, I got really lucky on Dog of War, since I got all Grabs before I actually completed any Challenge...
Sometimes you just need to charge to your enemy that is in cover. (I do/did that in every map)
Sometimes just solo and is very easy to arrange a good amount of Grabs. ( I did it in Geth, since they don't like to move a lot. Also Reapers)
Or sometimes, do all of the above with someone who has Overload. Then you hit the target that it's in cover with Overload, stunning it and leaving it vulnerable to a Grab.

I appear to have walked in on you guys so... I should go.
But on topic, Giant's control room is a really good place as well as many places on Vancouver which is about the only good thing about Vancouver. Another option is to just have grab vision while playing normally. Anytime you see a grab importunity just go for it.

I garnered most of my grabs on Vancouver in the upstairs lab and lower level with all the duct work.

Answered a similar post before.
Dagger/Reapers. Use the following method

Reason is that the reapers have husks. Husks are cheap on the wave budget (meaning you can milk more grabs for the same budget) and do nothing but charge to your cover to be grabbed. You can do it using gold wave 1 repeatedly. Wave 2 gold has a brute which makes things more difficult. Just be careful of the cannibal grenades and know that you are invulnerable when grabbing
Many maps have similar areas that are blindspots for the AI. The one on ghost should be familiar to many. Its the one desk in the hack room with the ammobox and ladder leading down and the stairs going down. You can use that one as well

The most grabs I've ever gotten were on Firebase Ghost. Some friends and I played Cerberus on silver and dug in at the shack at the far end of the big open area-- the one with a staircase at the 'front door'-- and while two of them held that door and another took the (outward-facing) right hand door, I was planted on the other side of the cover at the bottom of the ladder from the row of shacks on the left. Any un-armoured enemy that slid down the ladder could be immediately grabbed, I got ~20 in one match. So as long as you're with a group that's cool with you monopolizing grabs in that spot (or willing to do a rotation) you can rack up a lot there.

London. Much as I hate it, as a map, easy to lure enemies for grabs.

The problem in using this forum's search function is in asking the right question.
'Best map for grabs' will return multiple results.
'Best grab maps' will return nothing.
Ideally the best search term would probably just be 'grab.'
