'''Major''' is an elevated [[rank]] in the [[Jiralhanae]] military ranking system, indicating seasoned experience in the service of the [[Covenant]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''service record''</ref> | |||
== | ==Description== | ||
Majors are experienced soldiers of the Covenant, making up a portion of the [[Jiralhanae]] ranking system. Majors often lead [[file]]s and [[lance]]s of lower-ranking Jiralhanae and [[Unggoy]] on the battlefield. | Majors are experienced soldiers of the Covenant, making up a portion of the [[Jiralhanae]] ranking system.

Compared with the Minors, the Majors exhibit better combat skills and tactical maneuvers. As such, they are given better armor protection and have access to better armament.

Those serving under the Chieftain [[Tartarus]] wore an armor set composed of a forward facing helmet, a wraparound neck brace, and upper-arm braces with flat, pronged armor plates. This set was completed with a set of bandoliers wrapping around the chest and back, and leather wrappings holding pieces of metal between the toes. This configuration was also shared with the [[Jiralhanae Captain]]s who served with them, which held a red holographic flag displaying the clan insignia mounted on the back. | Those serving under the Chieftain [[Tartarus]] wore an armor set composed of a forward facing helmet, a wraparound neck brace, and upper-arm braces with flat, pronged armor plates.

Jiralhanae Majors are armed with a large assortment of weapons, including [[Type-2 spike grenade]]s, [[Type-25 Spiker]]s, [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle]]s, [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]]s, [[Type-25 Brute Shot]]s, [[Type-51 carbine]]s, and [[Type-52 Mauler]]s.<ref name="HE145"/> Majors are also equipped with [[deployable cover]] for additional cover.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', ''gameplay''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''gameplay''</ref> | |||

Like all Jiralhanae in ''Halo 2'', eliminating a Jiralhanae Major takes a considerable amount of firepower due to their "bullet-sponge" trait. The best way to eliminate them is by removing their helmet caps with a couple of shots before finishing them off with a [[headshot]].

The Majors are typically seen sporting [[Type-25 Brute plasma rifle|Brute plasma rifle]]s and [[Type-51 carbine|Covenant carbine]]s. Occasionally, they'll wield [[Type-25 Brute shot|Brute shot]]s. | ||
They are usually seen commanding less experienced Jiralhanae, [[Unggoy]], and [[Kig-Yar]]. They become very aggressive, more so than the Minors, when they start to berserk. | They are usually seen commanding less experienced Jiralhanae, [[Unggoy]], and [[Kig-Yar]].

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Jiralhanae Majors are now equipped with power armor, colored in blue. Compared to the Minors, the armor given to Majors are equipped with some form of energy shielding. The armor falls apart when the shielding is removed and the armor takes too much damage. They typically use Spikers, and occasionally use carbines, Brute shots, and plasma rifles. | In ''[[Halo 3]]'', Jiralhanae Majors are now equipped with power armor, colored in blue.

In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', Majors are synonymous with [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]]s.<ref>[https://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/images.aspx?c=53 '''halo.bungie.net''', ''Images - Renders'']</ref> They do not have energy shields, but are equipped with gold helmets that let them resist multiple headshots. | |||

In ''Halo 3'' the Major is difficult to distinguish against the [[Jiralhanae Ultra]], due to a similarity in their armor characteristics; its shape and the undergarment layer. However an Ultra can be identified from the violet tint in their armor. | In ''Halo 3'' the Major is difficult to distinguish against the [[Jiralhanae Ultra]], due to a similarity in their armor characteristics; its shape and the undergarment layer.
