Unggoy Heavies are usually seen in conjunction with other Covenant infantry, operating as heavy support units and are usually operating heavy weapon systems such as [[Shepsu-pattern plasma cannon|T-42]] or [[Pek-pattern plasma cannon|T-52 plasma turret]]s, [[Shade]] turret and {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s with deadly effect.

They will usually not flee from their position unless the player is too close or out of range of their [[weapon]], in which case they will pull out a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] and attack like a normal Unggoy. They are easily dispatched using most tactics. Their armor seems to be slightly tougher than the average Unggoy, most likely to protect them from explosives and the possible backfiring of their powerful weapons. Unlike most Unggoy, it is strangely rare for Heavies to throw [[Type-1 plasma grenade]]s.

Note that the cannon is free for a player to use after taking out its operator. In ''[[Halo 2]]'' an Unggoy Heavy must first deploy its plasma cannon before it can be used. If the Heavy carrying the plasma cannon is killed before it can deploy it then it cannot be used. This is not the case in games after ''Halo 2'', since most of the plasma cannons encountered are already deployed, with the exception of a few. They can still be used even if they are detached from their tripod mount.
