*Minor Grunts are easy to kill and are low priority. However, a player shouldn't underestimate even a Minor on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]].

Theses grunts panic quite often when their leader is killed which makes them easier to dispatch. But if cornered, they will fight back. | ||
*Minor Grunts usually don't throw Plasma Grenades, but when they do, they sometimes throw it at point-blank range and result in killing themselves instead of you. Unless the [[Catch]] skull is on in which case these Grunts can be much more dangerous. | *Minor Grunts usually don't throw Plasma Grenades, but when they do, they sometimes throw it at point-blank range and result in killing themselves instead of you.

*Use head shots over medium distances with a [[Battle Rifle]], or get in close with an [[SMG]] and take them out with rapid gunfire. The Grunts' armor gives little protection to [[UNSC]] ballistic fire, and if hit by a bullet a Grunt Minor may flinch and stumble back, occasionally start to panic. It is then easy to go in quick with a melee attack, or pin them down with continued fire. Minor Grunts are particularly vulnerable to explosives. A single [[grenade]] a few feet away from the [[Grunt]] will kill it, though if they are too far, but still get hit, they will stumble around with their arms over their head for a short period of time, before running away at top speed. It has also been noted that when a large group of Minor Grunts form, a [[Rocket Launcher]] is one of the most effective weapons, and would most likely kill all of them, due to their low resistance to weaponry in general. Also, [[Sniper Rifle]] rounds can kill a few Grunts at once, if used correctly and at the right angle. | *Use head shots over medium distances with a [[Battle Rifle]], or get in close with an [[SMG]] and take them out with rapid gunfire.

Essentially, the only weapon that might have a hard time killing Minor Grunts would be the [[Plasma Pistol]] from ''[[Halo 2]]'', but even then, it can kill them quickly if you know how to use it. If you are low on ammo don't waste it on Grunts, simply [[melee]] them with your weapon. | ||
*Minor Grunts are usually led by a [[Minor Domo]] or a [[Grunt Major]].
