====Armor abilities====
;[[Armor abilities]]
Information regarding armor abilities may also be accessed by pressing BACK while in the field.
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Jetpack.png|150px]] || '''[[Series 8 jetpack|Jet Pack]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' This [[Series 8 jetpack|newest model]] portable [[Jetpack|jump jet]] finally has the power to lift a Spartan in the latest-generation MJOLNIR armor.
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Sprint.png|150px]] || '''[[Sprint]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' [[Catherine-B320|S-320]] is largely responsible for this plug. While not quite a hack, it does temporarily override the safety limiters on actuators and “muscles”—cheating the system regulators to keep the operator cool as well.
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Hologram.png|150px]]|| '''[[Type-27 hologram|Holographic decoy]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' This gives the operator the ability to create a virtual, holographic projection, which can be used as a decoy to draw enemy fire. The decoy has a regular lifespan of 10 seconds, but may be canceled at any time.
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Camouflage.png|150px]]|| '''[[Type-3 active camouflage|Active Camouflage]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' Renders the operator virtually invisible. Overall effectiveness is dependent on operator discipline—rapid or sudden movement tends to overtax the system.
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Shield.png|150px]]|| '''[[Drop shield|Drop Shield]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' An evolution of the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield]] employed by [[Beta-5 Division|β5 Strike Teams]], it creates a temporary, semi-spherical protective shield that also provides a curious restorative effect (still under investigation).
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_ArmorLock.png|150px]] || '''[[Armor lock|Armor Lock]]'''<br>'''FIELD DATA''' Fairly effective even in this early prototype stage, it has internal components nearly identical to the Covenant gear that spawned it. The biggest drawback is that the local [[Gravitics|gravitic]] effect essentially immobilizes the operator.
|-
| [[File:ReachAA_-_Evade.png|150px]]|| '''[[Evade]]''' [RESTRICTED - COVENANT MATERIEL]<br>'''FIELD DATA''' This appears to be a [[Actuator plug|dummy module]] or terminator plug. While it is critical for operating the Elites' armor, its precise function is unknown. Spartans are encouraged to acquire it in the field if possible.

====Covenant Species====
;[[Sangheili|Elites]]
The leadership in any given group. In most cases, neutralizing Elites will cause the rest of the unit to lose cohesion.

;[[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]
Heavily armed and armored infantry who are always deployed in pairs, compensating for their relative lack of agility.

;[[Jiralhanae|Brutes]]
Aggressive and prone to shocking acts of violence, these creatures are
easily provoked into foolhardy acts of bravado.

;[[Skirmisher]]s
Although of the same species as Jackals and similarly deployed, Skirmishers are quicker and more agile than their smaller cousins.

;[[Kig-Yar|Jackals]]
Jackals employ energy shields that are considerably stronger than any other known personal shield system, thanks to their linear configuration.

;[[Yanme'e|Drones]]
Also known as "Buggers," they are essentially flying insects with guns. Where one appears, there are bound to be many more.

;[[Unggoy|Grunts]]
While lacking in intelligence and discipline, they are ferocious in large packs, but rapidly devolve into disarray when their leadership is neutralized.

;[[Huragok|Engineers]]
These units are noncombatant support "personnel," but they still represent a significant threat and should be dealt with appropriately.
