Artistic Forces/Grunt (Mutant Horde)

"Ready to engage war!"

- Mutant Horde Grunt The Grunt is a typical basic infantry unit of the Mutant Horde. This unit is planned to be voiced by Edward Bosco.

Background
The Grunt is a typical paramilitary infantry unit of the Mutant Horde hired from a variety of organizations from foreign nations, usually mercenary, guerrilla, underground, rebel, paramilitary and irregular groups around the world, and factionally mutated into a humanoid mutant for urban combat and irregular guerrilla warfare with biological professions and abilities. Just like the soldiers of the irregular armies, as a backbone of the ground force of the Mutant Horde, he is well armed with an American-made, AK-style assault rifle as their standard-issue rifle, but poorly trained due to a short time compared to other units and with a slow rate of fire; they are strategically useful for taking and defending a building.

Appearance
The Grunt appears as a combination of mutant soldier and an AK-47-wielding soldier of any paramilitary unit. He wears an irregular military outfit that consists of the Butane camouflage pattern, the Soviet M88 (Afghanka, Spetsodezhda or camouflaged) uniform, SSh-68 combat helmet with or without combat goggles, black balaclava, combat jacket, 6B3 (6B5) ballistic vest, black combat gloves, Soviet combat pants and Kirza combat boots. This also has features of an American military uniform.

Strategy
Hardened by years of urban combat and irregular guerrilla warfare, the Grunt is a surprisingly efficient infantry unit for its cost. The standard firing mode with the AK-style assault rifle provides basic support against enemy infantry units is a good way to get rid of, but too mediocre to low-flying helicopters and VTOL craft. When garrisoned, they are also highly effective against light vehicles. The Grunts may also lob the Soviet-designed RGD-5 grenade that effectively blasts against a group of infantry, light vehicles and landed helicopters or VTOL craft in a burst radius. Once the GP-25 grenade launcher upgrade is completed at the Arms Warehouse, the Grunts gain these grenade launcher to blast anything and anyone in their path. If the Fanatical Devotion upgraded is completed at the Arms Warehouse, the Grunts can now switch between Assault Rifle, Grenade Launcher, and Bayonet combat modes, and their Aggressive Charge ability is unlocked. This ability is enabled when equipped with the Bayonet combat mode.

Once the Molotov Cocktail upgrade is completed, in addition, the Grunts may now be armed with Molotov cocktails alongside their AK-style assault rifle: these perform rather poorly in open combat because they tend to miss moving targets, but are excellent when it comes to clearing troops inside garrisons and for destroying buildings. By default, the Grunts can place Booby Traps on neutral structures and units. In addition, the Grunts can use the ability called the Aggressive Charge, which boosts his charging speed to instantly kill enemy infantry in a close range. Any enemy units then attempting to command the structure or unit would get an explosive surprise. Nonetheless, as all infantry units, the Grunts are easily taken out by most anti-infantry weapons and gunships, and weakly vulnerable to them.
