Being quite skilled fighters in comparison to the Minor and Major Unggoy and therefore not having to rely on large numbers, they usually move in teams of two or three, with one Spec Ops Unggoy wielding a fuel rod gun while the others cover him with plasma pistols and needlers. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', it is best to target the one holding a Fuel Rod Gun as his teammates may be killed when it explodes, and also since the Unggoy fires the fuel rod gun very rapidly which can prove fatal even on [[Easy]] difficulty. In ''Halo 2'', throwing grenades at them can be effective, especially when sticking them with plasma grenades.
