Do you think that possibly due to the fact that grunts breathe methane from there tanks protecting them from flood spoors and there armor also covers their central nervous system do you think it would be possible to see kill squads of grunts running around trying to annihilate the flood if there is flood in the game it would be interesting to see grunts running around with flamethrowers and other anti flood weaponry.
Finally the unggoy are no more meat shield but the badass who save everyone!! And of course they’ll be in the cool way
Maybe equip them with energy shielding for extra protection against the poppers? I think since halo 5 they had kind of a crab shell almost, which would give them extra protection against the flood infection form tentacles. They also couldn’t be used against their teammates as a combat form.
EDIT: I don’t know why this idea captured my interest so much, but I came up with equipment that would be useful to the Unggoy kill squad
- again, shielding would be extremely useful against the flood, because the pop-corns can still overwhelm you even if they can’t convert you to a combat form - also, the ranger suit seen in halo 4/5 would be nice to have when dealing with the flood - The Goblin Mech or an enclosed version of the ghost would also be useful

This would all work I also feel like maybe grunts with Promethean weapons for biomass disposal would work I also feel like it would be amazing see how effective/ineffective they would be with a flamethrower considering they have tanks full of methane on their backs. (for people who dont know what methane does when it reacts with flame it is akin to lighting a gas pump on fire:).) It would also be amazing to see the grunts actually do something other than just be there to take up bullets or commit suicide by chief.
If The Flood are in Infinite, then I think it’s time for Grunts, Jackals, Drones, etc. all have combat forms. It’d be really fun to see a zombie grunt, but I understand that it’s a lot of work to have two versions of each Covenant enemy type.
But Flood Hunters would be amazing.
Originally the flood grunts weren’t added in Halo CE, and the devs said they were used as biomass and for the carriers. It would be weird to see flood grunts for the first time, along with jackals, drones, etc, but it would be cool if they could make it happen. The problem with that is each flood infection form will infect a grunt/jackal/drone and make you fight everyone you just killed, including brutes and elites. Also, the hunters are like bunch of worms which come together to form one whole hunter, so I don’t know how it’ll work. That’s the issue I see with adding new hosts for the infection forms, in which there will be too many enemies, along with complications in lore. But, maybe I’m wrong and we’ll have see what happens instead.

i’m pretty sure that grunts become carrier forms. Armor doesn’t matte either, because you see elites. brutes, and marines become infected

You would be surprised how much armor matters especially considering that spartans are less likely to be infected considering the fact that there armor covers their spine and neck. The armor of the enemy’s that you named dont have armor that covers there neck and spine that much. Grunts also breath a different air source. Than air that could be infected with spores. It would work really well with they had suicide vest for when there vitals flatline.

Hunters are actually explicitly mentioned to be incapable of being turned into combat forms by infection forms because of their gestalt nature.
That doesn’t make them immune to spores and such though, just that they’re immune to normal infection vectors.

There are types of Elite and Brute helmets that can prevent flood spores from infecting them. It is unlikely that the Banished would send in their least capable fighters that only really exist so they can be a body shield

They’d probably light themselves on fire.
