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.

Score Attack

In score attack, it consists of 120 Grunts that spawn in 5 waves, with the Catch skull, the custom Red Skull which enhances sight and hearing, the Grunt Birthday Party skull, and the Cloud skull.

Trivia

• In Halo: Reach, Gruntpocalypse is regarded as one of the best way to earn a high amount of cR over a relatively short period of time.
• Grunts in this mode are much less likely to run away when injured. However, they will still run if their leaders and allies fall beside them.
• The game type is deceptively difficult on higher difficulties such as Heroic or Legendary.
• Every Grunt squad usually has one Grunt with a Fuel Rod Gun or Plasma Launcher.
• The most dangerous Grunts are the Grunt Heavies carrying Fuel Rod Guns, as they can kill you very quickly.
• Unlike on other playlists, Suicide Grunts are very rare, due to the fact that there are no "Leader" type units.
• Using Armor Lock is highly recommended, as this can protect you from Grunt Heavies, plasma grenades, and Plasma Pistol overcharge shots.
