==In-game information==
==Gameplay==
===''Halo: Reach''===
Murmillones are fast and highly agile. They will often attempt to flank the player, or jump to higher terrain to snipe players. They can also use their twin shields to deflect incoming fire, for example, they will raise their shield to protect the face when a player begins to target the head. However, unlike the shields carried by Jackal infantry, Murmillo shields do not cover much of their bodies. When on the move, they will often keep their shield arms at their sides, leaving their fronts vulnerable. Like lower ranking Skirmishers, Murmillones can be brought down by a single precision headshot.
