In ''[[Halo 2]]'', they are occasionally equipped with [[Active Camouflage]]. They are only hard to kill when they are carrying a [[Type-33 needler]], since the Needler does not generate a glow unlike Covenant [[plasma]] weapons. | ||

They often wield Needlers, [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s, [[Type-1 plasma grenade]]s, [[Type-52 plasma launcher]]s and occasionally [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s. The biggest concern of facing a Spec Ops Unggoy, however, is that a Spec Ops Sangheili is more than likely nearby. Spec Ops Unggoy are not to be underestimated, though. Sometimes if the highest ranking Sangheili is down, the Spec Ops 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. | ||

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. | ||
These Unggoy are faster and sometimes it takes multiple [[melee]] attacks to kill them. Special Ops Unggoy are seen more frequently in ''[[Halo 2]]'' than in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | These Unggoy are faster and sometimes it takes multiple [[melee]] attacks to kill them.
