Backseat driver.
The Grunt Rider is an infantry unit which replaces Suicide Grunts. The Grunts
chosen to lord it over captured Brutes still lack much common sense, so going
from carrying a backpack to being a backpack may not be a step up. Grunt
Riders have a simple partnership with their Brutes: the Brutes punch things
with their fists, while the Grunts tell them where to go and throw plasma
grenades at enemies, allies, small animals, inanimate objects, and strange noises.
The Brute's attacks as-is, they can upgrade their punch force with Grunt-
engineered plasma gloves by investing in Punch Harder, You!
Unlike methane and infusions, the Grunt and Brute pairing is not a perfect
match. Among other quirks, some Brute Riders have a tendency to develop an
obsession with biofuels, power management, and gladiatorial fights, much to
the annoyance of everyone else in the rebellion. Other Brute Riders suffer
"accidents" at the fists of the Brutes if they get too bossy. The rest simply hope
to survive long enough to get promoted to Locust driver or methane hauler.
