Their role as boss enemies in the simulations reflects their function as elite, heavy shock troops reserved for high-threat scenarios however Mgalekgolo Devastators were also used in certain [[Warzone]] simulations as bosses to train [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]]. They where possible used in the [[Battle for Sanghelios]] assaulting on [[Vadam Keep]] and stationed at [[Sunaion]] when the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] [[Battle of Sunaion|attacked]]. The existence of more powerful Hunter variants is consistent with the Covenant Remnant's efforts to develop stronger forces after the collapse of the unified Covenant. | ||

Hunter Devastators spawn in certain [[Warzone]] simulations as a standard [[Boss (gameplay)|boss]] equipped with red armor, or a Mythic boss with white armor. They are more dangerous then their companions including several new abilities such as; Homing projectiles, undodgeable melee attacks and enhanced tactics they however have weak spots on their backs. However only behaviour separates them from their similar ranks. | Hunter Devastators spawn in certain [[Warzone]] simulations as a standard [[Boss (gameplay)|boss]] equipped with red armor, or a Mythic boss with white armor.

However only behaviour separates them from their similar ranks.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[Warzone]]''</ref> Instead of the predictable charge-and-expose tactic of previous Hunters, Devastators are designed to be more agile and aggressive. This reduces their exposed time and forces players to adopt different tactics. The Devastator's assault cannon fires a heavy, homing [[fuel rod]] beam. This advanced tracking technology is an upgrade from standard Hunter [[assault cannon]]s and is used to great effect against both ground and air targets in [[Warzone]]. Devastators are distinguished by their heavier, red-colored armor (or white for Mythic bosses), suggesting additional or reinforced plating. This makes them more resilient to standard attacks. The "Mythic" white-armored Devastators represent the pinnacle of this enhancement, being the most difficult version to defeat. Their existence suggests that certain Lekgolo gestalts or colony leaders are singled out for more extensive modifications, The weapon can track aerial vehicles, making them dangerous against players in the air. The Devastator's [[assault cannon]] is highly damaging and fires [[fuel rod]] shots. They are highly aggressive and agile, making it harder to flank them. | ||
They now possess homing attacks, forcing players to rely more on cover and ranged combat rather than close-quarters strategy. | They now possess homing attacks, forcing players to rely more on cover and ranged combat rather than close-quarters strategy.<ref>'''[[Warzone Firefight]]'''</ref> | ||
