5 - Gauntletz
Method number 1: Enter the game with it.
Edit Objects Dialog Box

Logic: GruntStartingPoint
Image Set: GAME_WAPWORLDONLY_TRIGGER some Designerz use GAME_WAPWORLDONLY_GUARDPOINT
Points: 0 (default ... not used, solver's Grunt)
See AppendixC/EnemyAITypez for value, if Smarts: (team) is 1, 2 or 3
Smarts: 0 ... default ... the player controlz this Grunt.
1 enemy team number.
2 enemy team number.
3 enemy team number.
Note: Gruntz will attack any other Grunt with a different team number!
Powerup: 0 (default ... Bare-handed)
5 ... Gauntletz
X Min: 0 (default, solver's Grunt)
If Points: definez an enemy Object Guard Grunt, this field
(along with Y Min:) is the 'address' of the Object being guarded.
X Max: 0 (default, solver's Grunt)
If Points: definez an enemy Object Guard Grunt, this field
(along with X Min:) is the 'address' of the Object being guarded.
There is a specialized enemy Grunt called a Gauntletz (leavez a Blue Goo Puddle ) that may be defined simply by providing a "Points: value of 9 and "Smarts: value of 1, 2 or 3 in this method.

Method number 2: Cover it up.
Edit Objects Dialog Box

Use Logic: CoveredPowerUp with Powerup: = 5 ... other fieldz as necessary

Method number 3: Leave it in plain sight.
Edit Objects Dialog Box

Use Logic: InGameIcon with Image_Set: = GAME_INGAMEICONZ_TOOLZ_GAUNTLETZ

Method number 4: Put it in a Giant Rock.
No matter what 'team' they are on, a Gauntletz Grunt, (Suicide) Bomber Grunt or Time Bombz Grunt can break or blow up a Giant Rock, or a Shovel Grunt can dig up a Time Bomb next to a Giant Rock, revealing the Tool in the middle, where Tile #290 was placed.

Method number 5: Ask for it.
One of the solver's Gruntz can use a Megaphone to call for the Tool.

Method number 6: Steal it (back).
Turn a Tool Thief carrying the Tool into a Goo Puddle , then pick up the Tool he leavez behind.

Gauntletz are heavy glovez made of metal ... much harder than Bare-handz. With Gauntletz, a Grunt can break Rockz (even Giant Rockz!)


, and most Brickz . Most? Yes, most! You see, Gauntletz cannot break Gold Brickz at all (it doesn't hurt the Gauntletz to try ... they just don't break). While Gauntletz are capable of breaking Black Brickz , the resultz are explosive(!) and alwayz fatal to the Gauntletz Grunt (unless he has an Invulnerability PowerUp). Gauntletz can break Red Brickz , but are broken themselvez in the process.

Gauntletz are among the most popular Toolz to be found in Gruntz puzzlez ... almost every Level, Standard or Custom, has at least one Grunt with this Tool. Close behind in popularity are Shovelz. Every Level eventually has a Warpstone Grunt ... but that is not much of a "Tool", so we won't include it in any popularity pollz.

Travel speed: 600 millisecondz per Tile ... 300 millisecondz per Tile with the SuperSpeed Powerup.

Used as a weapon
'Hit' value: 5/20 ... four hitz with this weapon will result in Goo Puddle(z) to suck up.

Assumption: Grunt teleportz into an enclosed area of two Tilez next to an enemy 'Post Guard' Grunt (neither can move), and beginz the fight.

* GunHatz take no damage from a SpongeGun (but are moved) and half damage from any other ranged weapon Gruntz.
** Shieldz take no damage from Bare-handed, (Boxing) Glovez or other Shield Gruntz, and they take half damage from many other Gruntz.
An opponent's 'Hit' value in Yellow indicatez half damage.
An opponent's 'Hit' value of '0' in Red indicatez no damage.
An 'undecided' result is because of random delayz (flailing, etc.) by either opponent.

Grade: A 37 W17-D3-L3 (+158 +198)

The solver, using "hit & run" tacticz, can greatly alter the resultz against most enemy Gruntz.
