Similar to their [[Kig-Yar Minor|less experienced]] brethren, Majors constitute a large part of the Covenant's mainstream infantry. They are seen in almost every engagement alongside other types of Covenant forces. Although higher in rank than Minors, they are still subject to the command of a lance leader, typically a [[Sangheili]] or [[Jiralhanae]]. | Similar to their [[Kig-Yar Minor|less experienced]] brethren, Majors constitute a large part of the Covenant's mainstream infantry.

Majors wield point-defense gauntlets of greater energy output than those used by Minors. The energy emitted by a Major's shield is typically shifted into the red spectrum, glowing orange, violet or red and shifting to blue as it takes fire. Majors occasionally sport additional armor as well, such as forearm gauntlets on both arms. | Majors wield point-defense gauntlets of greater energy output than those used by Minors.

Kig-Yar Majors are known for wielding [[Plasma Pistols]] as their standard weapon of choice, though canonically they have also been known to utilize [[Needlers]]. When engaging an enemy, they tend to overcharge their Plasma Pistols to eliminate enemy [[Spartan-II|Spartans']] energy shields and release volleys of plasma bolts to quickly eliminate them. When engaged by an enemy, a Major will use its personal arm shield to block enemy fire. | Kig-Yar Majors are known for wielding [[Plasma Pistols]] as their standard weapon of choice, though canonically they have also been known to utilize [[Needlers]].
