*Minor Grunts are easy to kill and are low priority. However, a player shouldn't underestimate even a Minor on [[Heroic]] or [[Legendary]]. They are quite good shots with their preferred Plasma Pistol, and if in larger groups, will concentrate their fire on the player, bringing down their shields quickly. Theses grunts panic quite often when their leader is killed and makes them easier to dispatch. But if conored in a conor, 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.

*Many techniques are effective in dispatching Minor grunts. Generally the most effective method is to use either a [[Battle Rifle]] or [[SMG]].


*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. Basically, the only weapon that might have a hard time killing Minor Grunts would have to 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 and just bash them with your weapon.
