The same tactics used to kill Minor Elites can be used against Major Elites as well. However, their stronger energy shields make them more resilient.  
The same tactics used to kill Minor Elites can be used against Major Elites as well. However, their stronger energy shields make them more resilient. For example, in Halo: CE on Normal difficulty, it takes eight headshots from the M6D pistol to kill a Major, compared to six for a Minor. Furthermore, the sniper rifle takes two headshots on Heroic and Legendary difficulty. However, the "noob combo" is just effective as it is against a Minor Elite, as the plasma pistol's charged shot instantly disables any shields regardless of strength.
 
In Halo:CE, just land headshots with the [[M6D]] pistol and it will be pretty easy killing a Major. The Sniper rifle takes two headshots on Heroic and Legendary difficulty.  
 
In Halo 2, the best way to kill a Major Elite, would be to use Dual [[M6C Magnum]]s and pump lead into the Elites head, it will be down in less than 2 seconds. You can also use the [[Plasma Pistol]] + [[Battle Rifle]] or [[M6C Magnum]] or [[SMG]].
