The '''Unggoy combat harness''' is a type of body armor and environmental suit issued to the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]'s [[Unggoy]] warriors.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 146''</ref> It provides basic protection from hostile fire and the elements and is also equipped with a breathing apparatus for the Unggoy.

===Breathing Apparatus===
===Breathing apparatus===
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>

[[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] has altered the Unggoy combat harness. [[Unggoy Storm]]s have had the standard rebreather replaced with a nose-placed rebreather resembling the diving apparatuses used on [[Balaho]].<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''']</ref>


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.
Unggoy employed by the [[Banished]] make use of a variety of armors, some inspired by suits from the [[Harvest campaign]], some from the time of the [[Fall of Reach]], as well as new designs necessary for their unique troops.<ref>[[Halo Wars 2]]</ref><ref>[[Halo Infinite]]</ref>

'''Point tank''': This variant of harness is used by Unggoy of nearly all ranks and roles. Notable ranks and roles to use this harness are [[Unggoy Minor]], [[Unggoy Major]], [[Unggoy Ultra]], [[Unggoy Heavy]], and [[Special Operations Unggoy]].

'''Imperial harness''': The harness used by Imperials in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] was also issued to some troops during the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]]'''</ref> and is more resilient than the [[Unggoy Storm]] version. The helmet is a heavy armor faceplate which protects the whole face. The methane tank resembles [[Balahoan octopoda]].<ref name="VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''pages 36-38''</ref> The harnesses have been seen in orange, red, green, silver, and blue.<ref name="H4">'''[[Halo 4]]'''</ref>

'''Slim-stock tank''': 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 name="h4guide">[[Halo 4 Interactive Guide#Enemies|'''Halo 4 Interactive Guide''' ''- Enemies: Covenant - Grunt Heavy'']]</ref> 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/Reuse|H4}}{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

'''Wide-stack methane supply harness''': The [[Unggoy Ranger]] harness has a wide-stack methane supply tank with an EVA thruster pack on it, this allows the user to freely navigate low-to-zero gravity environments. The helmet has a twin-filter rebreather so the wearer does not suffocate in the harsh environments.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
 
There are two versions of the Unggoy ranger suit, both of which cover the entire Unggoy body and have hock-mitigators on the feet. The version with a more smooth surface is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, low-to-zero gravity, and other rigors found in the vacuum of space. The second version has more layers.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}

== Appearances ==
'''Deacon outfit''': [[Deacon]]s wear tunics and pointed helmets mixed with the standard point tank harness.
The visual appearance of the Unggoy Combat Harness has changed considerably every time it has appeared in fiction; this has led to confusion as to whether or not these are separate variants or if the differences are simply aesthetic in nature. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', there was a variant with a partially curled-back methane tank, along with a bigger face mask. This variant is commonly referred to by fans as "Curl-backs". This variant is absent in newer titles. In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the suicide-Grunts used a cylindrical-back methane tank, along with a goggle-equipped mask. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the design of the harness varies greatly between different Unggoy ranks.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' the methane mask can be knocked off. However the Grunt will continue fighting despite its sudden lack of a methane source.
*There appears to be no visible way for the methane to reach the Grunt's mouth, since the mask and the air tank are completely unconnected. It has been theorized that the methane is transported to the mask through [[slipstream space|slipspace]], which has been hinted to be used in smaller Covenant devices such as in their weaponry.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]'''</ref>

An Unggoy Minor in his combat harness.

The Unggoy combat harness is a type of body armor and environmental suit issued to the Covenant's Unggoy warriors.[1] It provides basic protection from hostile fire and the elements and is also equipped with a breathing apparatus for the Unggoy.

Description[edit]

Breathing apparatus[edit]

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.[2] When the tank gets low, a 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.[3]

Jul 'Mdama's Covenant has altered the Unggoy combat harness. Unggoy Storms have had the standard rebreather replaced with a nose-placed rebreather resembling the diving apparatuses used on Balaho.[4]

Unggoy employed by the Banished make use of a variety of armors, some inspired by suits from the Harvest campaign, some from the time of the Fall of Reach, as well as new designs necessary for their unique troops.[5][6]

Defense[edit]

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 magnum is capable of easily cracking through the armor and is considered by some to be the standard weapon for such actions.[7] The armor piercing rounds of the MA5 series 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 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, a methane-filled breathing apparatus, methane fueled thrusters, and even energy shielding.[8][9]
