Unggoy combat harness: Difference between revisions

Line 9: Line 9:
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', both the breathing mask and backpack component of the suit can be knocked off while the Grunt is still alive or dead; this causes the Grunt to suffocate if still alive. If the actual breathing mask is knocked off of the Grunt then the Grunt will begin to suffocate, running in circles desperately until dropping dead from asphyxiation. It is interesting to note that in ''Halo 3'', even if Grunts lose their methane tank on their back, they can continue fighting without suffocating. This may mean that there is emergency [[methane]], stored inside their Combat Harness. However, this is more likely just for game play reasons. It can also be removed by projectiles and explosions. Even though a grenade can rip off the breathing mask in ''Halo 3'', you cannot see the mask come off but you can see methane rise in the air.

==Defense==
 
In addition to its life support role, it is equipped with armor. This armor can withstand limited amounts of fire, especially from energy weapons. The [[M6D]] is capable of easily cracking through the armor and is considered by some to be the standard weapon for such actions.<ref name="Flood"/> The armor piercing rounds of the [[Assault Rifle]] are also potent weapons against the harness. As well as defending against projectiles and [[plasma]], it prevents a limited amount of fall damage to its user, like its [[Sangheili Combat Harness|Sangheili counterpart]]. Despite this, most variants are vastly inferior to the other types of armor adorned and used by the [[Covenant]], no doubt due to the costs required to produce the suits for the extremely large population of Unggoy soldiers. Some variants are also equipped with helmets, [[Active Camouflage]] and a methane-filled breathing apparatus.
