Asset Overview
Here are all the Jackal types in Halo Reach.
The rank of Minor is the lowest field rank. They are armed with standard-strength, light blue point defense gauntlets and small arms such as the Plasma Pistols or Needlers. Jackal Minors are lead by Elite Minors.
Kig-Yar Majors are more experienced than Minors and are issued stronger point-defense gauntlets that emit a red shield. They typically carry Plasma Pistols and Needlers. Because of their higher rank they will occasionally wield a Plasma Rifle.
Snipers are the Covenant's foremost long range combatants. They are known to carry weapons such as Needle Rifles, Carbine, Focus Rifles and Beam Rifles, but do not use point-defense gauntlets in order to better wield said weapons.
Skirmishers have two shielded bracers, making them unique.
Commandos are like Skirmishers but more heavily armored.
Champions are more heavily armored still.
