Heretic Unggoy fight differently than the Covenant-loyal Unggoy normally encountered by one fact: They never try to escape, even during [[Easy]] difficulty. The only exception to this rule is when a Heretic Unggoy is stuck with a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]], needles, or otherwise knows it will soon die; even then, they will run towards you, setting the precedent for Kamikazes in ''Halo 3''.

They are also superior to their average Covenant counterparts ([[Unggoy Minor|Minor]] and [[Unggoy Major|Major]] Unggoy) by their equipment and usage thereof (though [[Special Operations Unggoy]] and [[Unggoy Ultra]]s are equally skilled if not more). They almost always use [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needlers]], or occasionally [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod guns]], but never the weak, inaccurate [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] that is so often overused by [[Unggoy Minor|their counterparts]]. They also try to set up turrets sometimes like Special Operations (or [[Unggoy Heavy|"Heavy"]]) Unggoy. Beware, their skill with the Needler is unchallenged; they fire incredibly quickly, accurately, and reload when taking cover. They are also very good with their plasma grenades, capable of sticking unsuspecting [[Special Operations Sangheili]] frequently.

Judging by the fact they always wield [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needlers]] or [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|fuel rod guns]], it indicates that they are better treated than their Covenant counterparts, and are not used as cannon fodder.

They are also far harder to kill than the average [[Unggoy]]. Any Heretic Unggoy can take as much damage as an [[Unggoy Major]]. They do not come in ranks, and all have the same amount of health and intelligence as each other. The only difference in difficulty facing them is the weapons they carry. Depending on what weapon you are better against will usually depend on how hard it is to beat the Unggoy. In combat, Covenant Unggoy will usually be encountered in groups of four or ''more'', whereas the Heretic Unggoy are normally in smaller groups, of about four or ''less''. Heretic Unggoy are also harder to melee because of the reduced size of their methane tanks. In fact, in [[Legendary]], they can take as many body shots as you can. They are still vulnerable to high-power weapons like the [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]], and rapid-fire weapons like the Needler or [[Sentinel Beam]].
