'''Sniper Jackals''' are newer rank additions for the [[Jackals]] of the [[Covenant]]. Unlike standard infantry Jackals, Sniper Jackals do not carry [[Jackal Personal Arm Shield]]s. They wield long range [[weapon]]ry, serving as the Covenant's answer to [[UNSC]] [[Marine]] sharpshooters. 

Sniper Jackals are very different from all the other types of jackals. Sniper Jackals do not carry energy sheilds but instead they use both hands to man the beam rifle or a carbine. The beam rifle is a very powerful sniper weapon for the covenant it may take your shelds down in easy or normal but in heroic or ledendary the beam rifle may only take one shot to end the life of the player. Sniper Jackals are not like the regular Jackals; they do not keep shooting if you are close, but instead drop their beam rifle, take out a plasma pistol, and retreat.

== Killing Sniper Jackals ==

The best way to kill a Sniper Jackal is to use either a [[Beam Rifle]]/[[Sniper Rifle]], or a [[M6C Magnum]] for an instant kill. The [[BR55]] and the [[Covenant Carbine]] also delivers an instant headshot kill.

== Trivia ==

In the level [[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]], there is a Sniper Jackal in a tower that when killed, an "invisible [[Jackal Personal Arm Shield]]" collaspes, and you can see the tell-tale blue electricity and noise.
