Warrior is a Sangheili rank used by the post-war Covenant.[1] The Warrior class is mostly a collection of the most experienced and seasoned Sangheili troops from the Human-Covenant War.
Overview
The Sangheili Warrior class is entirely made up of seasoned war veterans who survived the last Human-Covenant War. Known for their powerful energy shields and usually-devastating weaponry, Warriors are considered some of the most fearsome members in the new Covenant order.[2]
Warriors wear golden armor with green highlights, denoting their status as field commanders.[3] Their armor, especially the helmet, is quite similar in appearance to that worn by Sangheili Generals in service to the Covenant; however, it is a duller shade of gold and leaves the wearer's forearms exposed.
Warriors are typically armed with Type-51 carbines, Type-33 Needlers, and Type-55 storm rifles. They also frequently wield Type-33 fuel rod guns and can throw plasma grenades at long distances. They are extremely aggressive and durable fighters, and are particularly devastating when fighting in groups.
Tactics
The easiest way to bring down a Sangheili Warrior is to disable its shields with an Overcharged Plasma Pistol, then follow up with a precision headshot. Players can also use a Binary Rifle or Sniper Rifle to kill the warrior in one or two shots. Active Camouflage also allows players to sneak up on a Warrior and assassinate it from behind. When facing a Warrior wielding a Fuel Rod Gun, one should always take cover and wait for it to stop shooting before returning fire.
