{{Article | {{Article Quote|Enemies always make every saving throw, always berserk, always dive, never flee...}} | ||

{{Article | {{Article Quote|Major upgrade to all enemies.}} | ||
The Thunderstorm skull causes enemies' ranks to increase.

{{Article | {{Article Quote|Grunts explode as if they were plasma grenades when they are killed with a headshot.}} | ||
The Grunt Birthday Party skull causes [[headshot]]s on Grunts to explode in a shower of confetti as well as producing a sound clip of children cheering.
