'''Warrior''' is a class of [[Sangheili]] combatants serving in the [[Covenant]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Initiation]] Issue 1'''</ref> and its [[Covenant remnants|remnants]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/character-enemy-renders/421563ab-3b18-4e29-8487-3dd79b627a70#imageNumber=17 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''New Halo 4 Renders'']</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|H4IG}}

== Overview ==
The Sangheili Warrior class in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] is entirely made up of seasoned war veterans who survived the [[Human-Covenant War]] and did not operate in leadership positions, but took many lives. They are rarely encountered due to their relatively low numbers.<ref name="H4:EVG">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 29 + page 48''</ref> Known for their powerful energy shields and usually-devastating weaponry, Warriors are considered some of the most fearsome members of Jul 'Mdama's faction.<ref name="H4IG">[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-US/halo4guide '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4 Interactive Guide'']</ref> They are extremely aggressive and durable fighters, and are particularly devastating when fighting in groups.

==Equipment==
===Armor===
Warriors wear golden armor with green highlights, denoting their status as field commanders.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]''', ''page 52''</ref> In [[Warzone]] this harness is often colored maroon.

Their armor, especially the helmet, is quite similar in appearance to that worn by [[Sangheili General]]s in service to the [[Covenant]]; however, it is a duller shade of gold and leaves the wearer's forearms exposed. The helmet is an elaborate, accentuated design. The pauldrons use a shield-bolstering pauldron system to increase shield strength. The cuisse is of the spaded design. The greaves are high framed and are ridge-locked, with ornamental raised-claws.{{Ref/Reuse|H4:EVG}}

===Weaponry===
Sangheili Warriors are typically armed with {{Pattern|Mosa|carbine}}s, [[Type-33 Needler]]s, and {{Pattern|Kelos'vaarda|storm rifle}}s. They also frequently wield {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}s and can throw plasma grenades with a high level of accuracy. By October [[2558]], Sangheili Warriors began to use [[Type-56D needler]]s, {{Pattern|Gespu|fuel rod gun}}s, and {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}}s.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

== Tactics ==
The easiest way to bring down a Sangheili Warrior is to disable its shields with an overcharged plasma pistol shot, then follow up with a precision headshot. Players can also use a binary rifle or sniper rifle to kill the Warrior in one or two shots. Active camouflage also allows players to sneak up on a Warrior and assassinate it from behind.  When facing a Warrior wielding a fuel rod gun, one should always take cover and wait for it to stop shooting before returning fire.
