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.

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.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref><ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and [[Requiem Campaign]] Unggoy Storm part of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant were commonly seen fielding [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 Needler]]. Occasionally they wielded the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]] as an explosive weapon.<ref name="H4"/> 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 carbine]]s.<ref name="H5G"/>

Storm Unggoy are armed with plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]]s, 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 grenade]]s and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.
