Three invulnerable grunts on Exodus

[Scatcycle]

As promised, here is the three grunts clip. Me and Twizted jetpacked into an area that we were supposed to go into later in the mission, and stumbled upon three invincible grunts.

Here is me assasinating them.

Here is the tutorial.

Some steps if you cannot watch the video or do not understand:

1:Get to the area where you meat up with ODSTs. Battle through to the next door, where they say: "Other side, other side! The entrance is on the other side!". As soon as you get the nav point, turn around and go back through the door you just came in.
(the purpose of this is to eliminate the barrier)

2: Turn left and you should see something that seems to be supporting the wall. (under the wall should be air, which leads to death)
Jetpack up to it. Then, let your jetpack recover. Then jetpack to the level right above you. You will have to do a jetpack maneuver, so don't mess it up.

3: Look at the phantom. You can jack it if you like later, but the main goal right now is the grunts: If you are looking at the phantom, turn right. You should know the area by looking at the video.

4: I don't know where to find the grunts, but they should be in the general area.

If anyone has any questions on where to go or what to trigger, just ask.

Very cool, Scat!  What difficulty?  Any chance they might have had Legendary Dialog if you had snuck up on them?

Woah! That one that flew away when you burst its methane tank was awesome!

Thanks, but don't forget about Twizted ! (if he still comes here anymore...). We were playing on Easy I think. I don't know where they had spawned because I was in the turret and couldn't see much. The problem is, I don't think its possible to sneak up on them. Once you jetpack up the phantom sees you and shoots you, alerting everyone of where you are. I would check theater but all the sleeping grunts in the past games had only made noises when you came up to them. There are otherways to get up though.
Sounds like a covert-op mission  ! I can try this later.

If anyone wants to do it on legendary with me on the weekend or Friday I'm down for that. If you would like to try this on your own, here is a small guide:

1:Get to the area where you meat up with ODSTs. Battle through to the next door, where they say: "Other side, other side! The entrance is on the other side!". As soon as you get the nav point, turn around and go back through the door you just came in.

I will get a video showing where to go soon.

And to Night, I didn't burst its methane tank, that was Twizted. I was in the phantom !


Here's something I propose you try if you are going to meet up with the suicide grunts:
Assassinate it. If you can trigger the grunt-b-day effect and burst its methane tank off while it still lives, you can probably assassinate it.

Made a thread about this on Bnet.
And yeah, Cycle, you are now officially my "bud".
(Well, everyone in SGP is. )

This was never expanded on. I would have thought scat'd update this by now.

When I checked this out with scat, we found out where they come from. I suck at explaining, so I'll probably just attach a poorly edited screenie with the location when I get on my computer.

We also found out that the grunts have a buddy. A sniper jackal, over on the next building.

All four of these invincible covies can be assassinated, and doing so will make them freeze in whatever position they are in once the assassination is done and you're back in 1st-person. It usually is the grunts cowering in fear, covering their heads, and the jackal with its arms held up like a teller in a bank heist. They are still holding their weapons, and they can be pushed around like an afk matchmaking teammate. Popping the grunts in the head after they've been assassinated will still result in a grunt bday effect, and blood still drops when they're hit or shot. Basically, their AI is killed, but they don't have any death animation. They still make noise when you hit them, and they still follow you around with their heads.

You get to these invincibles by bypassing a loading trigger, which probably loads their death animations as well as the rest of the enemies in the area. Walking back the way you should have come, and walking back down the staircase you should have come up will activate the load, and them pressing onward will then allow you to continue the level as normal, with one key difference: Any of the invincibles that you assassinated will be lying on the ground, dead. With their death animation loaded, they drop wherever they were standing.

And that is how you can find an overcomplicated way to take out four enemies before you have to fight the rest!

I think I have the game with scat saved, so I'll check my theater when I get a chance and see.

I am actually working on it, sorry for not updating the thread. I have the video, but whenever I render it it comes out black. I don't know what happened. If you want the video is here, but it's just a black screen. You can hear audio. I tried twice and it didn't work. I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 9.0, if anyone has help. I should probably download Pro 9.0e soon.

[Phantasm 08]

I'm going through my videos now, and I'll edit this post when I find it.

I have officially found the video, and since scat already has a film of the grunts, I figured I'd throw in the jackal.  There's more to it, but I'll record more stuff later.

If we could get a walktrough video about this, it would be purely awesome.

I'll try to get it done today. Sony Vegas Pro is acting up lately so I don't know if a youtube video will be had.

[Scatcycle]

Finnally got it: Here is the youtube video. Enjoy.

Great! Now we just need a text guide and we're game.

[OG] ah scatcycle, it`s wonderful to see that you still are able to find great things without me

but did you know that the load trick also deloads everything back at where the ODST`s are including the lift

[Scatcycle]

Yes....

And what lift?
