==Description== | |||
Minors are the least experienced Jiralhanae serving in the [[Covenant]] military, and as such they rate the weakest armor and shields and typically possess the least endurance. Among the Covenant, the Minors make up the largest contingency of heavy-ground forces for the Covenant after the [[Great Schism]]. They are often relatively weak for a Jiralhanae, and lack complete protective armor. The strength of Jiralhanae Minors usually comes from their sheer numbers.<ref name="HE145">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 145''</ref> Newly recruited Minors often compete for their armor, gears, and postings.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsCampaignHalo3.aspx?gameid=20779 '''Bungie.net:''' ''Stats'']</ref> | |||

When the Jiralhanae became the dominant military force of the Covenant during the events of the [[Great Schism]], Minors were given heavier cyan [[Jiralhanae power armor]], but still lacked the shoulder pads, knee pads, and ankle armor of the higher ranks. | When the Jiralhanae became the dominant military force of the Covenant during the events of the [[Great Schism]], Minors were given heavier cyan [[Jiralhanae power armor]], but still lacked the shoulder pads, knee pads, and ankle armor of the higher ranks. | ||
Jiralhanae Minors 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-50 concussion rifle]]s, [[Type-51 carbine]]s, [[Type-51 plasma repeater]]s, and [[Type-52 Mauler]]s. Minors are also equipped with [[deployable cover]] for additional cover and [[armor lock]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', ''gameplay''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''gameplay''</ref> | |||

Brute Minors are never encountered alone, typically attacking in packs of four to six at once under the command of a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]]. On the [[Heroic]] difficulty, they can withstand about 24 [[MA5C assault rifle]] bullets or 13-16 Plasma Rifle bolts; 7 bullets or 4 plasma bolts to drop their shield, and an additional 17 bullets or 9-12 plasma bolts to kill them. | Brute Minors are never encountered alone, typically attacking in packs of four to six at once under the command of a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]].
