==Description== | |||
Murmillones are selected from the best combat-rated [[Skirmisher Major]]s. Murmillones specialize in close-quarters combat. The armor of Murmillones is based off of ancient Kig-Yar gladiatorial designs. These ancient Kig-Yar would hold inter-clan physical combat competitions in the largest population centers on [[Eayn]]'s biggest continent.<ref name="HE157"/> They generally strike in packs and attempt to flank the enemy and use their shield gauntlets to cover their exposed bodies, including their heads, while strafing enemies.<ref name="gameplay">'''Halo: Reach''', ''gameplay''</ref> | |||

Murmillones wear orange armor, helmets covering their whole head, and sport a small [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlet]] on each forearm. Their armor is created from an unidentified alien alloy that is reinforced for heavy combat.

Some Murmillones are equipped with [[Type-27 hologram]]s. | Murmillones wear orange armor, helmets covering their whole head, and sport a small [[Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet|point defense gauntlet]] on each forearm.

== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Murmillones are fast and highly agile. They will often attempt to flank the player, or jump to higher terrain to snipe players. They can also use their twin shields to deflect incoming fire, for example, they will raise their shield to protect the face when a player begins to target the head. However, unlike the shields carried by Jackal infantry, Murmillo shields do not cover much of their bodies. When on the move, they will often keep their shield arms at their sides, leaving their fronts vulnerable. Like lower ranking Skirmishers, Murmillones can be brought down by a single precision headshot. | Murmillones are fast and highly agile.
