| '''Storm''' was an infrequent specialist combat role for [[Unggoy]] serving in the [[Covenant]], and later became widespread among its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]], acting as shock troopers.<ref name="Archive">[https://web.archive.org/web/20180427215749/http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=96&tab=comments '''Halo Archive''': ''Canon Fodder Thread'']</ref> | | '''Storm''' is a rank of [[Unggoy]] serving under the [[Covenant remnant|reformed Covenant]].<ref name="H4 Interactive Guide">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref><ref>'''Halo 4 Prima Official Game Guide'''</ref> |

| == Description == | | == Description == |
| While Unggoy Storm were specialized shock units under the original Covenant, post-war Storm troops serve a more generalized infantry role similar to the [[Unggoy Minor]]. They are essentially cannon fodder for the various Covenant factions, with the [[Sangheili]] using the Storm Unggoy's large numbers to their advantage.<ref name="h4guide">[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Enemies|'''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' ''- Enemies: Covenant - Storm Grunt'']]</ref>
| | Storm Unggoy are the lowest ranking Unggoy in the new Covenant order. They serve virtually the same role as the [[Unggoy Minor]] that served in the [[Covenant]]. They very commonly flee from battle, and are essentially used as cannon fodder, with the [[Sangheili]] using the Storm Unggoy's large numbers to their advantage. Like their Minor predecessors, Storm Unggoy will sometimes prime two plasma grenades and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack. |
|
| |
|
| ==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. |
| ===Harness===
| |
| In a effort to increase field of view, the Unggoy Storm helmet includes a nose-placed rebreather somewhat resembling the diving apparatuses used on the Unggoy homeworld of [[Balaho]]. The harness has a pressurized [[methane tank]], with a filter actuator to help keep the tank working.<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' ''- Page 36</ref> 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> | |
| | |
| The harness is issued in orange, blue, violet, green, yellow, and red.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

| ===Weapons===
| |
| During the [[Battle of Requiem]] and the [[Requiem Campaign]], Unggoy Storm of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] commonly fielded [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]s and [[Type-33 Needler]]s. Occasionally they wielded the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}} as an explosive weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|H4}} During the Covenant's final days in [[2558#October|October 2558]], Unggoy Storm began to make heavy use of the [[Type-54D plasma pistol]] and [[Type-56D needler]]. The {{Pattern|Gespu|fuel rod gun}} 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/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Storm Unggoy are armed with [[plasma pistol]]s and [[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 {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s and charge their enemies in a kamikaze attack.
