A group of Grunts in a match of Firefight.

Gruntpocalypse is a gametype in Halo: Reach Firefight where players kill oncoming waves of Grunts (Unggoy).

Overview

Gruntpocalypse is similar to the Bonus Round featured in Halo 3: ODST Firefight. Likewise, it involves a massive army of Unggoy of various ranks that will spawn continuously.

All load-outs consist of the DMR and M6 pistol for easy headshots. (hence the use of 'Grunt Birthday Party' skull.) A custom red skull is used during Gruntpocalypse which enhances sight and hearing of the Grunts to make the game a little harder.
