@Bruce Bee In Halo CE legendary pretty much any enemies are a viable threat. Especially since grunts and jackals can rapid fire their plasma pistols. On their own they are easy to deal with but when you are taking on Elites (one or multiple) on Legendary or LASO your attention is focused on the biggest threat so grunts or jackals can flank/sneak around sometimes and just finish you off at the worst times. Especially on LASO where elites are mobile tanky grenade throwing champions.

If I recall, in one of the books a trooper talks about how a full captured squad gets ripped apart and eaten by grunts and jackals.

[@CaiusCosades44]

Yep it was halo fall of reach i think . Also in halo Fall of reach John 117 recalls how a large group of civilians were rounded up and riped and eaten by the Kig-Yar and Grunts .

This got very close to the Krogan Rebellions from Mass Effect

Sputnik thought the same thing, pretty closely parallels the krogans

[@sparta2705]

@@thehalfblindastronomer8936 they kinda look like them too. Just bigger and meaner

If only the Grunts weren’t extorted into the Covenant...

[@Commando_scylla]

Same with jackals

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Another reason as to why it's satisfying to pop a Grunt's head like a pimple is because we put them out of their misery painlessly.

[@tactilcalhorize]

I gotta say, the 1st Grunt Rebellion is one of my Favorite Golden Nuggets of Halo Lore. I would LOVE to read a full novel telling the story.

1:53 I couldn’t stop replaying this lol

I would totally play a grunt spin off to cover their story lol

I really want to know what the dancing grunt and hunter is. I remember seeing this as a kid and I haven't ever known what it was

Just ending their misery, not like the covenant was a happy place for them. shhhh, it's better this way

I've always Loved the Grunts when I was a Kid and always was Sad when I had to kill them they are too adorable to kill

[@dirtfloorgarage8489]

I felt bad for them during the first part of the video, but then when I found that they became a respect rank in the covenant, I thought to myself “well if they’re respected and seen somewhat equal as a combatants then I’ll have no issue killing them. I’ll just kill them with a little more respect”.

[@kj1173]

Hey hiddenxperia you should make a video on who would win a fight between Tartarus vs atriox

[@derpy._.josiah7985]

I dont think that pokemon could win against Atriox

[@RandyPeterson17]

I think Atriox could outsmart a ford sedan.

Looking back it feels like showing them mercy to fight them in battle. With the honor of having fought toe to toe with the most feared enemy to the Covenant.

I actually tried not to kill any grunts but then my friend would just melee them

[@woolliercobra7742]

The next time humanity gets close to extinction after maybe atriox, it will be because of the overwhelming number of grunts raiding every galaxy under the command of YUPYUP THE DESTROYER !!!

as a kid (and still to this day) I always knew about the grunts being forced into service by the covenant, I never liked killing them so I always melee killed them and pretended I was just knocking them out :(

I mean, yeah it's sad but all I can imagine is a grunt saying "This is fine"

This is fine. See? I said it!
