The gas is stored in extremely cold tanks inside the suit, and is provided to the user through a breathing mask that covers over half of the alien's head. The backpack attached to a Grunt's back contains a [[Methane Tank]]. Attached to every Grunt's wrist is a readout (measured in Covenant [[units]]) of the amount of methane left in the Grunt's pack.<ref name="Flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]'''</ref> When the tank gets low, a [[Atmosphere Pit|resupply]] of methane must be found quickly or the Grunt will suffocate. The suit also displays the color of the Grunt's rank. The breathing mask of the Unggoy also makes speech difficult for them, as it muffles their words.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | The gas is stored in extremely cold tanks inside the suit, and is provided to the user through a breathing mask that covers over half of the alien's head.

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 | 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, it 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 gameplay 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. | ||
