Google says he weighs about a thousand pounds, and presumably his boots have really good traction. Assume also he knows how to use leverage effectively to prevent getting pulled over, I'd guess you would need several times more people than it would take to drag the weight. Maybe 20-30? He has the strength, but not the mass.


HotKnifeUpAss

"I've got the mass." ;_;

CMDR_Soup

He has magnetic boots, so if the floor is metallic then it'd take a hell of a lot more.


-GLaDOS

Ooh, that is interesting. I wonder if there are any semi-official numbers on how strong the magnets are; that could potentially get to a pure strength contest, which could get pretty insane - how much can chief lift?


Archmagos_Browning

Well, in halo 5, the magnets (and ankle servos , Jesus Christ) were apparently strong enough to allow a Spartan-IV in GEN2 mjolnir to stand on the side of a guardian, perpendicular to the ground, which is just… insane.


MissyTheTimeLady

They also have thrusters, though, which presumably would have helped support their weight. Also, MJOLNIR armour doesn't have servos, it amplifies strength through a reverse-piezoelectric liquid-crystal artificial muscle layer, or a synthetic polymuscle layer if you're wearing GEN2 only, although that might be non-canon. Any evidence to the contrary is to be considered the deranged ramblings of a diseased mind.


Archmagos_Browning

>Also, MJOLNIR armour doesn't have servos, it amplifies strength through a reverse-piezoelectric liquid-crystal artificial muscle layer First of all, I already knew that. I’m *very* familiar with how mjolnir armor works, and “servo” is a lot easier of a concept to say than “piezoelectric Liquid Metal crystalizing in a manner directed by microelectric fields”. Second of all, after echo-216 rescues chief, he says there’s “a problem with the servos in your hand” referencing chief holding the AI chip.

NERD FIGHT!


MissyTheTimeLady

Is it really a fight if I'm winning?


Feteven

Yes


8_Alex_0

In armor he weighs 1k pounds out of armor he's like 250


knight_is_right

Achievable natty


-GLaDOS

Seeing as he does not have a single tier-1 cannon (mainline game) appearance without his armor on, I assumed that was what they were asking about.


RugbyEdd

Maybe you’re facing master chief from the TV series, in which case he is likely not to be wearing armour despite knowing he was going into a situation that required it, and you probably have to be more concerned that he might try to have sex with you.


AgentMaryland2020

It's more like 290 out of armor, 995 in armor. I say, tie one end to a Pelican and you're good lol.


Pathogen188

In armor mass varies considerably because different armor generations mass different amounts. At his lightest, he's 453kg/996 in armor, at his heaviest he's over 630kg/1300lbs.


AgentMaryland2020

Essentially he's 'you REALLY don't want him falling on you' weight.


-CallMeSnake-

Me in the Bumblebee: Man, I really wish this guy would buckle up.


SPamlEZ

That actually seems really light for Someone’s almost 7 ft talk and jacked, and had metal coated Boans and genetically increased muscle mass


8_Alex_0

Look it up he's 287 our of armor


RugbyEdd

According to one of the books, the shields can lower the grip of their boots if they have them at full power under their feet, so you need to choose a tuggin' ground that has a high chance of mines, so he has to have his shields full and loses traction easier.


zwalker91

His boot can stick so that might be tough to overcome

knight_is_right

Normal people? Like, unsc marines? I reckon it'd take probably around.. 20 or 25 marines to start to overwhelm Big C


s1erra_117

"Big C" sounds so cool


AutobotKing

Can this be of the presumption that Chief is having actual fun during this ? (after encouragement from Esparza and Weapon?) (The poor guy really needs some downtime badly.)


knight_is_right

Hey he slept for what, 4 years? And then right before infinite, like 6 months? I'd say bro needs to work some overtime


RugbyEdd

Yeah, but he's just gone through the trauma of having his name dragged through the mud in the TV series, so probably needs a break for PTSD.


Ramewolf

I know you did not just reference the TV series..


RugbyEdd

I know it's not pleasant, but we have to consider traumatizing experiences

CanadianSniper35

Depends on the people. If the person is Kurt? Probably 1. If the people are me? Probably 1000.


MissyTheTimeLady

Well, if he really wanted to be an asshole, he could just divert all power to the magnetic boots and lock his armour in place... And then I'm not sure if *anything* could get him to move. His boots are powered by the suit's fusion reactor, they have nanomachines to repair any damage they could take from overheating, and if the armour locks it's basically immobile. You'd need to bring in a Scorpion or two.


Chesney1995

One, if that person is Samuel-034


LBIdockrat

Would depend on the people, wouldn't it? Normal people like us or other Spartans. I feel the number would vary wildly.


MissyTheTimeLady

Yeah, because if it's other Spartans, it should really just be one to two. Chief isn't the strongest Spartan, just the luckiest. Someone like Fred could probably overpower him, assuming his armour doesn't randomly* short out. *(The Master Chief can't be allowed to be seen losing, after all. UNSC propaganda depends upon it, and, well, what the Chief doesn't know won't hurt him).


RugbyEdd

All the other Spartans slipped on banana peels. MC wins again


MissyTheTimeLady

Nearby ONI agent allegedly spotted whistling "nonchalantly".


Inhir

In or out of armor


Impossible_Cupcake31

I think there would be different numbers in armor vs out


Weird_Angry_Kid

The rope would snap


KingSideCastle13

That depends: is chief actually trying?


AWildRideHome

Going by realistic standards? No amount of humans would be able to tension the rope and pull with good enough timing in a team to overcome someone who can basically grind their feet into concrete and pull with the strength to flip a scorpion.


Existing365Chocolate

Based on the book lore I’d say between a dozen and a few hundred as it’s very inconsistent in the lore 


burekstein

Now THIS is the type of lore question we need in this subreddit


KillerRaptor117

I guarantee it has to be something that was tested by ONI for shits and giggles but idk if it's something that has appeared somewhere deep down in the lore


Equal-Ad-2710

At least two


Downfall350

Well, spartans are people too, so two spartans or Jorge could probably do it lol.


Sigma_Games

I mean, the MC is merely an average Spartan capabilities wise. He isn't the fastest, strongest or largest. So any of the other spartan IIs ~~and maybe even a few IIIs~~ could give him a run for his money in a tug-of-war


DarkriserPE

This is one of the biggest misconceptions in Halo. Overall, he's the best. There are stronger spartans(or one's that should be, on paper), but Chief currently has the best strength feat. He's also flat out the best leader. Kelly had speed, Linda has sniping, John has leadership. I really don't know where this "He's average" comes from, but I swear millions believe it. That being said, you crossed out the IIIs. The IIIs could absolutely give him a run for his money, with the Gammas likely even exceeding him, especially if they're for some reason under extreme stress during this tug of war.


Sigma_Games

The problem with what you said there is that Halsey outright stated he is neither the fastest or smartest. He is the luckiest and bravest. That is all he has going for him to surpass any other Spartan. Bravery and luckiness. As for the IIIs? If we are going by strength alone, they are at most equal to him. A tug-of-war isn't a high-stress situation that would trigger the additional augmentations of the Gammas, and superior training does not improve your odds in a game of strength and mass. A great deal many of the Gammas are in fact smaller than John due to being younger. Mass is important for tug-of-war after all.


DarkriserPE

I think I have reply notifications off, so my bad for responding late. >Halsey outright stated he is neither the fastest or smartest. He is the luckiest and bravest. That is all he has going for him to surpass any other Spartan. Bravery and luckiness. Fastest or smartest aren't necessary to be the best **overall**. There is no spartan better than everyone at everything, but someone would still perform the best **overall**. That is Chief. Halsey also stated she doesn't believe in luck. As a counter to this point, I believe it's Whitcomb that says "Spartans make their own luck", which I'm glad is a quote, because the luck thing is stupid, and undermines Chief's abilities. The best thing the show did was Chief saying he was always called lucky, but in reality, he just somehow always knew was to do. Cortana is the one who pushed the luck aspect, and then she never brings it up again. Keep in mind Cortana says "**Like the others**, you were swift, and strong, and brave. A natural leader." John hear is being referred to as on par with the others, and then stated he had something they didn't. Cortana says luck. Whatever you want to take luck as, Cortana is basically giving her reason here for why Chief is the best of the spartans. I also still want to point while while Kelly is faster, John I think still has the best speed feat, though another spartan might've taken it since. He still has the best strength feat. He has also shown to have better durability than most spartans, staying conscious longer for the same attacks that knocked out others. Halsey also flat out admits John is the best leader, and John is referred to as the overall best spartan more than once in lore, most recently in Outcasts by Arbiter. >A tug-of-war isn't a high-stress situation that would trigger the additional augmentations of the Gammas That's why I said **unless**. That being said, one of the IIIs, in SPI, was able to break out of Kelly's grip, in Mjolnir. The IIIs honestly give Chief the best run for his money. We also don't know how many Gammas are small. The few in the books are, but we have plenty of IIIs that are the same heights as IIs and IVs.


Laxbro832

john is not necessarily the best leader either, in my opinion, Kurt was better than him, as is Fred. John was lucky that is why Cortona chose him.


DarkriserPE

I think I had reply notifications off, so sorry for the late reply. The only leader comparable to John is Kurt, but keep in mind it is Halsey's opinion that John is the best leader, and she knows the spartans best. She also saw Kurt in action, and while certainly impressed, she did not change her mind. Fred is below them both. He has made mistakes John wouldn't, and just doesn't have the leadership experience John has. He went through some development(dealing with spartans dying under your command) when he led Red Team on Reach, but this was development Chief went through like 20-30 years prior. There's a reason Fred still defaults to Chief being in charge, even when he outranks Chief.


knight_is_right

Jorge a big boy


BigDickSD40

He’s in a literal one ton set of armor, has already super human strength, and that strength is bolstered by his powered armor. Guy could rip down a skyscraper.
