Special Operations Unggoy: Difference between revisions

[[Unggoy]] of this rank are part of the [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations division]] of the Covenant. Normally, Unggoy are poorly trained for combat and are usually deployed in massive numbers as cannon fodder. However, if they are given proper training, they can acquire specialized roles and provide excellent support to Special Operations teams. Often standard infantry Unggoy find themselves promoted to this rank when their commanding [[Sangheili]] is folded into the Special Operations division.<ref>'''[[Library (feature)]]''', SpecOps Grunt</ref> Generally tougher, smarter, and certainly more aggressive than their lesser brethren, Special Operations Unggoy are often deployed with [[Special Operations Sangheili]] team leaders and specialized equipment and sometimes will be lead by [[Unggoy Ultra]]s. These resilient, loyal, and dangerous operatives are not to be underestimated under any circumstances. If a Special Operations Grunt's leading Sangheili is killed, rather than panicking and fleeing, they will often seek revenge, finding cover and sending [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]]s and plasma bolts accurately at the opponent who killed the Sangheili. They are also much more accurate than their counterparts, and their armor is much more resilient to damage than other [[Unggoy]] Ranks.

Special Operations Unggoy almost never panic during combat, as the [[Unggoy Minor|Minor]] and [[Unggoy Major]]s almost always do when their leader is killed. They often wield [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]]s, [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]]s, [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]]s, [[Type-52 Guided Munitions Launcher/Explosive|plasma launcher]]s and occasionally [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]]s. The biggest concern of facing a Special Operations Unggoy, however, is that a [[Special Operations Sangheili]] is more than likely nearby. Unggoy of this rank are not to be underestimated, though. Sometimes if the highest ranking Sangheili is down, the Special Operations Unggoy will run, but to better cover and will usually send out deadly and accurate barrages of plasma grenades. This can be fatal on the higher difficulties. Like earlier, they are not to be trifled with and must be taken down with precision and speed to allow the player to survive the [[Legendary]] difficulty.
