The Shell-shocked Army Trooper is an easter egg from Halo: Reach that can be found on the campaign level New Alexandria.[1]
Description
The Shell-shocked Army Trooper looks like a standard NPC trooper. However, when approached, he will be cowering and pointing his pistol at his head or at the walls, yelling:
The trooper then begins to alternately shiver, scream, then tries to console himself by saying, "sh, sh, okay". He is then killed by Yanme'e forces.
Trivia
- If he is killed, he may briefly continue saying his lines.
- The Shell-shocked Army Trooper is a reference to the other traumatized troops from previous Halo games. Of them, he is the only one who is an Army trooper rather than a Marine. He is the second one who is traumatized by the Covenant as opposed to the Flood, the first being the Wounded Marine in Halo 3: ODST.
- The Easter egg has two animations: one with the trooper standing, looking around wildly, and pointing his gun at the walls, and another where he is kneeling, holding the gun to his head.
- The phrase, "...if one of those little ones bites you, you turn into one!" may be a reference to Red vs Blue, in which Caboose once thought that, because he was bitten and had his blood drained, he was going to turn into an alien.
