Halo: Combat Evolved/Enemies

This is a list of the enemies in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Grunts
Cannon fodder for the Covenant, they are the smallest and weakest but most numerous Covenant warriors. They wear methane tanks that allow them to breathe. The minors have orange tanks with plasma pistols, while the majors have red ones with needlers. Occasionally, a Grunt may be seen with a fuel rod gun. Don't waste too much precious ammo on them, take them down with a pistol, or more preferably melee them. You can also leave them to your Marine comrades. Be especially wary of the fuel rod gun Grunts. To combat them, you may want to move up closer to them so they don't fire because of collateral damage.
