Subject: Just how strong is a Grunt?

Are we talking average human strength, maybe a bit more, or absolute weakling? I believe that in Contact Harvest they were said to have pretty good upper body strength, since they could move around ladders with relative ease.

Of course, with their stubby legs, I don't think they have much lower body strength. Still, I'm not really sure.

Maybe they're as strong as Brutes but just really, really humble.

(That was a joke.)

Okay, listen, we should get our stories straight, all right? If anyone asks, and no one's gonna ask, don't worry, but if anyone asks, tell them as far as you know, the last time you checked, everyone looked pretty much alive, all right? Not dead.

I would guess that they have strong upper body strength because of their bulky chest but overall I think they are a little less stronger than an average marine. Just a guess though.

What about in Long Night of Solace, when in the begining of the level, the Grunts jump an easy 4 meters from that platform next to the wraith(this is before you enter the space program building). I'd say they've got pretty good lower body strength :P

Grunts in Contact Harvest are described as being agile on the latters and are actually quite agile if not encoumbered by their bulky suits. Otherwise, they do a lot of heavy physical labor jobs, so they are probably stronger than average humans. The only reason they seem weak in the games is because you play as a super soldier. That and that they are ON AVERAGE dumber than the average human. Ones like Yayap and Dadab are exceptionally smart.

They have to be pretty strong to jump on top of crates while carrying a fuel rod cannon with one arm.

It'd be like weight training having to carry on those breathers and fight.

I always thought grunts weren't cost effective seeing as they need way too much to operate and give you so little in return.

They are stronger than a human. One of them rips a part a militia solider in Contact Harvest unarmed. They are capable of lifting their body weight with one arm as well, and display aboreal behaviors, in the books and games.

Also they have the build of a climber, long powerful forearms and short stubby legs, somewhat comparable to a Chimpanzee. As far as strength, a Chimpanzee (which is much smaller and lighter than a grunt) will tear you to pieces.

Chimpanzee Weight/Height

Chimpanzee Strength

Ungoy weight is disputed, but the lowest number I found was 140lbs, if anyone has the encyclopedia and or visual guide I would appreciate their input.\


Edit: lol Like primates, they walk both bipedally and with the aid of their over sized forearms in a manner somewhat similar to chimpanzees from the wiki page, apparently I am not alone in my comparison.

You aren't at least 5 feet? I'm exactly the height of a Jackal, 6'8. People constantly call me a Spartan III for my height.

Strong enough to carry plasma turrets, so not SUPER weak.

So true.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening.

i belive shhave funzes suppos

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

It's actually mentioned somewhere(Beastiarium I think) they are actually quite strong, able to lift heavy (non cumbersome) objects.

And they can carry those turrets and the huge Fuel Rod Cannons with one arm. Yes they are fairly strong.

And as said above, they can throw quite far.
