Sangheili Mercenaries are issued a blue colored version of the [[Sangheili harness]], akin to the [[Combat harness]] used by the Covenant's [[Sangheili Minor]]. They are always equipped with [[plasma grenade]]s, and almost always wield the {{Pattern|Erudo'ma'keth|pulse carbine}}, though they often arm themselves with better weapons found on the battlefield.

Mercenaries are the lowest ranked Elites encountered in ''Halo Infinite''. They can be found leading groups of [[Kig-Yar/Gameplay|Jackals]], [[Unggoy/Gameplay|Grunts]] and [[Skimmer]]s, and if alongside [[Jiralhanae/Gameplay|Brutes]], they tend to be in lower numbers. [[Sangheili Enforcer|Elite Enforcers]] often have one or two Mercenaries working alongside them. | Mercenaries are the lowest ranked Elites encountered in ''Halo Infinite''.
