Unggoy Storm are a specialist unit for Unggoy serving in the Covenant and its remnants, acting as shock-troopers.[1][2][3]
Description
While Unggoy Storm were specialised shock units under the original Covenant, post-war Storm troops would serve a more generalised infantry role similar to the Unggoy Minor. They are essentially cannon fodder of the various Covenant factions, with the Sangheili using the Storm Unggoy's large numbers to their advantage.
Equipment
One aspect they differ in largely from the Unggoy Minor is their combat harness. The harness covers only their torso, and the helmet is very minimalistic. In an effort to increase field of view, this role favors nose-placed rebreathers somewhat resembling the diving apparatuses used on the Unggoy homeworld of Balaho. The harness comes in the traditional orange color, as well as blue, violet, green, yellow, and red. The harness also allows for the Unggoy to use the methane tank as a makeshift thruster pack, allowing for easy access in various terrains.[4][5]
During the Battle of Requiem and Requiem Campaign Unggoy Storm part of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant were commonly seen fielding Type-25 plasma pistols and Type-33 Needler. Occasionally they wielded the Type-33 fuel rod gun as an explosive weapon.[4] By the end of the Blooding Years in October, 2558, Unggoy Storm began to make heavy use of the Type-54D plasma pistol and Type-56D Needler. The Type-58 fuel rod cannon had since become the main explosive weapon for Unggoy Storm. During the Battle of Sunaion some shock troops made use of Type-57B carbines.[5]
Gameplay
Storm Unggoy are armed with plasma pistol]]s and Needlers, and will occasionally use an Overcharged plasma pistol shot against shielded enemies. Like Minors, Storm Unggoy will very commonly flee from battle when the Sangheili leading them is killed. Storm Unggoy will sometimes prime two Type-1 plasma grenades and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.
