Purpose: Infantry
General
Grunts are the main infantry of the Hierarchy. They are used in heavy numbers to overwhelm enemy positions. These tank-sized infantry units use a shotgun-style plasma weapon against ground. The closer they are to an enemy, the more damage the weapon will do. The shotgun is great against infantry, good against vehicles and heroes, and bad against structures and Walkers. They can knock back small enemy units in melee. They have the ability to capture neutral buildings. Grunts are immune to Amplifier lockdown.
