One step removed from minor, Covenant jackal snipers operate the closest to how the various jackal pirate bands do, being dropped along routes from human hardpoints to Covenant landings to pick off any human who gets too close with disgusting accuracy. Unlike most ranks, they aren't given a distinguishing color, instead being given armor that blends in with their surroundings. Still, should a combatant get too close, they are still almost guaranteed to flee. |
