'''Gruntpocalypse''' is a gametype in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[Firefight]] where players kill oncoming waves of Grunts ([[Unggoy]]).


==Overview==
==Overview==
Gruntpocalypse is similar to the Bonus Round featured in standard Firefight. In a Gruntpocalypse match, the player faces waves consisting entirely of vast numbers of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] instead of the regular sets of enemies.  
Gruntpocalypse is similar to the Bonus Round featured in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' Firefight. Likewise, it involves a massive army of [[Unggoy]] of various ranks that will spawn continuously.


All loadouts consist of the [[M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR]] and [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|Magnum]] for easy headshots, with different [[Armor abilities|Armor Abilities]] available.
All load-outs consist of the [[DMR]] and ''[http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M6_Series M6 pistol]'' for easy headshots. (hence the use of 'Grunt Birthday Party' skull.) A custom red skull is used during Gruntpocalypse which enhances sight and hearing of the Grunts to make the game a little harder.
 
On default, the grunts spawn on the ground, instead of dropping from covenant [[Phantom]]s as enemies in other modes do.
 
==Score Attack==
In score attack, the game consists of 120 Grunts that spawn in 5 waves, with the ''[[Halo 2 skulls|Catch skull]]'', the custom Red Skull which enhances sight and hearing, the ''[[Halo 2 skulls#Grunt Birthday Party|Grunt Birthday Party]]'' skull, and the ''[[Halo: Reach skulls|Cloud skull]]''.

*Grunts in this mode are much less likely to run away when injured. However, they will still run if their leaders and allies fall beside them.

*Every Grunt squad usually has one Grunt with a Fuel Rod Gun or Plasma Launcher; However, it is possible to have an entire wave that doesn't have any heavy weapons at all.
*Every Grunt squad (4 in a squad usually) that is 'spawned' usually has one Grunt with a Fuel Rod Gun or Plasma Launcher.
*The most dangerous Grunts are the Grunt Heavies carrying Fuel Rod Guns, as they can kill you very quickly.
*The most dangerous grunts are the Grunt Heavies carrying Fuel Rod Guns, as they can kill you extremely quickly.
*Using [[Armor lock]] is highly recommended, as this can protect you from Grunt Heavies wielding Fuel Rod Guns, [[plasma grenade]]s, and [[Plasma Pistol]] overcharge shots.
* Unlike on other Playlists, there are no Suicide Grunts, due to the fact that there are no "Leader" type units.
**On certain maps such as [[Corvette]], [[Armor abilities#Sprint|Sprint]] may be a better idea than Armor Lock because it enables the player to obtain extra ammo quickly before the next wave of Grunts spread out.
* The Usage of either the Evade or Armorlock Armor Abilities when playing this Gametype is recomended- Grunts throw Plasma Grenades often, and Overcharge frequently.
