Possible new Grunt variant!

If you skip to the :49 second mark you will see a white colored Grunt sprinting with what appears to be a Carbine in its hands he also seems to be wearing a new type of helmet. Could this be a new sniper class Grunt?

How the hell did you notice something like that?

I didn’t notice the carbine before I think but I noticed the armour.

I don’t know to be honest, the Grunt just sorta stuck out. :confused:

Maybe but I also feel its probably just for the cutscene

Looks just like the regular storm armour to me, only white. That’s definitely a carbine it’s clutching though!

I was more or so talking about the helmet it definitely looks different.

First, Jackals with shield melee, Elites with English callouts, and now Grunts with Carbines?

Next it will be Hunters riding ghosts!

It’s possible that this may be a new grunt variant, but the most likely option is that this is simply a grunt Ultra (reminds me of the ones from Reach) just holding a carbine for a cutscene. I’m not too sure it’d be a wise decision to let grunts hold carbines. However, there could be an Easter egg involving it. I want to say there was an Easter egg in Halo 2 where grunts had energy swords, but my memory on that subject is hazy.

I don’t see why they would limit the Grunt to only the cut-scene, I mean besides Hunters they are the only infantry class not given a Sniper Class.

Guessing the ultra is back.

I get the feeling that 343 is up to something… Why are they adding more and more functions to the other models?

It’s like they’re becoming… more playable…
