| |
| '''Heavy''' is a specialist combat role for [[Unggoy]] within the [[Covenant]] and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]].<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', page 87</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| ===Covenant===
| |
| Heavies are designated for the use of heavy [[weapons]], turrets, and some vehicles.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', pages 142-143</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Jul 'Mdama's Covenant===
| |
| These Unggoy are used to engage high-tier enemies through the use of augmented armor, explosives such as the [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]] and [[Type-58 fuel rod cannon]].{{Ref/Reuse|H4}}{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} This class is composed of experienced and formidable Unggoy warriors, who are often fully capable of engaging light armed vehicles effectively. Unggoy of this role are rarely encountered on the battlefield, though.<ref name="h4guide">[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Enemies|'''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' ''- Enemies: Covenant - Grunt Heavy'']]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Banished===
| |
| Banished Unggoy Heavies were heavily augmented by machinery on [[Installation 00]]. Like their Covenant counterparts, they focus on heavy weapon use such as [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s and [[Methane Wagon]]s' plasma cannons. The Banished Unggoy Heavies are led by the [[Shadow Master of Buwan]].<ref name="HoG">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/haze-of-glory '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Haze of Glory'']</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Equipment==
| |
| ===Covenant harnesses===
| |
| The original Unggoy Heavies wore distinctive sage-green armor, typically with a full-face methane breather and a cylindrical methane tank on their back, similar to the [[Unggoy Ultra]]. Their armor provided significantly more protection than that of an [[Unggoy Minor]] or [[Unggoy Major|Major]], but it wasn't nearly as strong as an Ultra's or a [[Special Operations Unggoy]]s in terms of durability.<ref name="HR">'''[[Halo: Reach]]'''</ref>

| |
| | |
| ===Slim-stock tank harness===
| |
| The Heavies of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] wear a helmet with full-face protective rebreathers, enhanced optical sensors with optics articulators, and ultra-dense battle harnesses that has a slim-stock tank with analog eye sockets of Unggoy predators. The harness is issued in orange, blue, silver, green, and magenta.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} The combat harness also allows for the Heavies 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>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The only time a non-Heavy Unggoy is seen deploying a [[Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma turret]] is in ''Halo 2'' at the beginning of the level [[The Arbiter]] where a [[Special Operations Unggoy]] is carrying one. This is because the only [[Unggoy]] allies encountered in the level are Special Operations units.
| |
| *In ''Halo 3'', if a Heavy panics while carrying an undeployed [[Type-52 Directed Energy Support Weapon|plasma turret]], it will wave the turret around in the air with only one hand. This is because Unggoy usually use small single-handed weapons, and no separate animation was created for Unggoy Heavies using turrets.
| |
| *Unggoy Heavies are classified as Special Operations Unggoy in [[Firefight]], whereas [[Unggoy Ultra]]s are simply classed as regular Unggoy. Actual Special Operations Unggoy are only seen manning the side-mounted plasma turrets on the Phantoms. Something similar happens in ''[[Halo 4]]'', where Unggoy Heavies are classified as Ultras by the [[List of Halo 4 commendations|Commendations]] along with some other enemies who have also been mislabeled.
| |
| *In ''Halo: Reach'' [[campaign]] level [[ONI: Sword Base]], Unggoy Heavies are seen with {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s on higher difficulties.
