During the initial stages of the [[Battle for Earth]], Stealth Sangheili were among the Covenant boarders that invaded a cluster of [[orbital defense platform]]s to destroy them from within, to allow the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] to descend to Earth's surface. A pair of them were engaged and killed by John-117 under [[Armory A-01#Cairo Station Armory A-01|Armory A-01]], but their interference allowed more Sangheili to kill the [[Unidentified master gunnery sergeant|gunnery sergeant]] in the armory.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> Many more were deployed by the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' directly into the city of [[Mombasa]], particularly into the narrow streets and subterranean tunnels of the city, where they used their camouflage to ambush UNSC forces.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> | During the initial stages of the [[Battle for Earth]], Stealth Sangheili were among the Covenant boarders that invaded a cluster of [[orbital defense platform]]s to destroy them from within, to allow the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] to descend to Earth's surface.

Following the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s arrival at [[Installation 05]] on [[2552#November|November 2, 2552]], he deployed troops into the ruined structures and underwater facilities in the vicinity of the [[Temple (Installation 05)|temple]] from which the Prophet conducted his religious sermons. A number of Stealth Sangheili along with similarly-camouflaged [[Unggoy]] were stationed in one of several underwater passageways that connected the various structures in the large artificial lake that ultimately connected to the Prophet's temple.

After the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a number of Stealth Sangheili joined a [[Merg Vol's Covenant|faction]] of the defunct Covenant Empire led by [[Sangheili Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]]. In [[2554]], this "new" Covenant [[Battle of Draetheus V|attacked]] the human research colony world of [[Draetheus V]] and its moon [[X50]]. As the battle raged on, Merg Vol discovered the true purpose of X50: the moon was actually a Forerunner installation capable of building and destroying planets. The cult leader was successful in activating X50's main weapon, beginning the process of dismantling Draetheus V. Covenant forces established a mile wide defense perimeter around the Forerunner structure from where Vol had activated the weapon. The UNSC realized that they would need to get combat technicians into the structure to disable the weapon. To protect the technicians, UNSC command had deployed snipers among the Marine reinforcements. These snipers would provide suppressing fire from the higher ground around the structure. However, the area they were deploying to was swarming with Stealth Sangheili. [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Edward Davis|Davis]] escorted several sniper teams to their locations, killing many Stealth Sangheili in the process.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 14: Infiltration of the Covenant Perimeter|Infiltration of the Covenant Perimeter]]''</ref> | After the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a number of Stealth Sangheili joined a [[Merg Vol's Covenant|faction]] of the defunct Covenant Empire led by [[Sangheili Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]].

Compared to the iterations in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Stealth Sangheili are now equipped with energy shields of a shield strength slightly less than half of the [[Sangheili Minor]]. Likewise, a headshot-capable weapons such as the SRS99C-S2 AMB sniper rifle, [[M6C magnum]], [[BR55 battle rifle]], or the [[Type-51 carbine]] would be the best tool to eliminate these Sangheili. In close-quarters, consider using the [[M90 shotgun]] or dual-wielding the SMGs or plasma rifles. Two variations exist, one with tan/brown armor and another with white/silver armor. The tan/brown is uncommon (rare to very rare on lower difficulties), and their energy shield strength and armor are substantially better than their white/silver counterparts with the fastest shield regen of any Sangheili in ''Halo 2''. | Compared to the iterations in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the Stealth Sangheili are now equipped with energy shields of a shield strength slightly less than half of the [[Sangheili Minor]].

Stealth Sangheili appear frequently in the ''Halo 2'' campaign, mainly the levels [[Cairo Station (level)]], [[Outskirts]] on Legendary, [[Metropolis]] on Heroic/Legendary, and [[Delta Halo (level)]] on Legendary, though they also appear in the underwater structure in the level [[Regret (level)|Regret]], and on [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]. | Stealth Sangheili appear frequently in the ''Halo 2'' campaign, mainly the levels [[Cairo Station (level)]], [[Outskirts]] on Legendary, [[Metropolis]] on Heroic/Legendary, and [[Delta Halo (level)]] on Legendary, though they also appear in the underwater structure in the level [[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]], and on [[Gravemind (level)|Gravemind]]. | ||
