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. Like other Jiralhanae enemies in the game, their helmets can be shot off, rendering them vulnerable to headshots.{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}} | 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}} | ||
