'''Jiralhanae Snipers'''{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=426}} are [[Jiralhanae]] specialists that serve the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|HI|Detail=Brute Sniper}}  
'''Jiralhanae Snipers''' are [[Jiralhanae]] specialists that serve the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|HI|Detail=Brute Sniper}} They are essentially the brute version of a jackal sniper, only with different weapons, more melee damage and more health.


==Overview==
==Overview==
Like [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s, Jiralhanae snipers serve as long-ranged combat specialists, though they are more durable and less stealthy than their [[Kig-Yar]] counterparts. Jiralhanae snipers can operate alone or in groups.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

Jiralhanae snipers are recruited from the greatest outland hunters who are naturally skilled at tracking prey and trained within their birth-clans. They are adept warriors capable of neutralizing threats many thousands of meters away, often without ever being seen. Snipers place themselves in elevated positions around Banished outposts and redoubts, allowing them to scan the battle lines for the slightest hint of movement. Banished hunting and raiding parties usually host snipers aboard [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|war-sleds]] and [[Qavardu Workshop war-skiff|skiffs]], in order to track and target enemies from a distance, even during the heat of the chase.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}


==History==
==History==
Many Jiralhanae snipers fought in the [[Battle for Zeta Halo|war]] for [[Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} [[Escharum]] deployed units consisting entirely of snipers to hunt down and eliminate the remaining [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans]] on the Ring.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}

===Armor===
Jiralhanae snipers are equipped with specialized sensor arrays and native-link optics suites integrated into their armored helmets.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
Jiralhanae snipers wear helmets equipped with tactical eyepieces and triple-beam laser sights.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} Like the [[Jiralhanae Berserker|Berserkers]], their headgear can be shot off, rendering them vulnerable to headshots. They also carry large antenna-like devices on their backs.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}


===Weaponry===
===Weaponry===
Blue armored Jiralhanae snipers typically utilize [[Flaktura Workshop Skewer]]s as their primary weapons and carry [[Manglers]] as sidearms, while red armored snipers usually wield [[Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|shock rifle]]s as their main weapons and carry [[Disruptor]]s as sidearms. Both variants carry [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenades]].{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

==Gameplay==
The Jiralhanae snipers are the Jiralhanae counterpart of the [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s, albeit with different weapons, more melee damage, and more health. They will take aim at the player with triple-beamed laser-sights. The beams converge into a single beam, at which point the sniper will fire. When engaged at close-quarters, snipers will typically switch to their sidearms. Although stronger than their Kig-Yar counterparts, Jiralhanae snipers wear minimal body armor and are only slightly more durable than a standard, non-shielded [[Jiralhanae Warrior|warrior]]. Like other Jiralhanae enemies in the game, their helmets can be shot off, rendering them vulnerable to headshots. Destroying their helmets also eliminates their laser-sights, but does not affect their accuracy.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}
 
==Trivia==
*If grappled by an upgraded [[grappleshot]], blue Jiralhanae snipers will not be electrocuted. They will instead assume a defensive posture and freeze themselves in place for several seconds (essentially the same effect).
