ENEMIES



Covenant


Characters

Grunts

^{Taken By Quoctopus}
A basic enemy, they are very easy to kill but they can be a problem if there is a lot. If you kill their leader (usually a brute) they will run away screaming things like... "Our leader is dead we're doomed".

Weapons

• Plasma Pistol
  
• Needler
  
• Plasma Cannon
  
• Fuel Rod Cannon
  

Jackal

^{Taken By Quoctopus}
Jackals are usually snipers and if you don't find them they will kill you quickly, if they are not snipers they will have a shield that can either be broken by a plasma weapon or melee.

Weapons

• Plasma Pistol
  
• Covenant Carbine
  
• Beam Rifle
  

Drones

^{Taken By Quoctopus}
Drones will come in swarms and will destroy your shields very quickly, it's best to fight them with a fast weapon (machine gun), a strong weapon (gravity hammer) or have good cover (anything to hide behind). Quote From Bungie:

Drones aren’t brave; they’re just incapable of feeling fear

Weapons

• Plasma Pistol
  
• Needler
  

Brutes

^{Taken and Made By Quoctopus}
The brutes took the elites place in the covenant army after the elites joined the humans. The brutes command the Grunts and Jackals. On difficulties such as legendary or heroic with the mythic skull on the brutes can be very tricky, especially the brute heroes.

Weapons

• Needler
  
• Brute Shot
  
• Fuel Rod Cannon
  
• Gravity Hammer
  
• Spiker

• Plasma Cannon
  

Please tell me if there is any more.

mongoose guide go's here if anyone finds it

Additions:
Hunters - Weapons. In addition to the Lazer, the Hunters's left hand doubles as a shield/sword. If you get too close to a hunter, they will melee you with the shield, and you will suffer a lot of damage

Mongoose Guide (My Own):
A Mongoose is the Human equivilant to the ghost. Although it does not have cannons, a person can ride on the back. In some cases, this is better. For one, if the passenger has a spartan laser, or rocket launcher. Also, the mongoose is a fast way to get from place to place. Be careful though, if you get shot with a strong weapon, or hit a bump in the road, there is a very good chance the mongoose will flip and roll away from you.

Thanks I forgot about the shield... well didn't consider the fact that they use it as a weapon.
