Jiralhanae Jumper

The Jump Pack Brute is a class of Jiralhanae (Brute) warriors.

On their ventral sides, they carry jump packs for increased mobility. They are the Brute counterpart to Elite Rangers, but unlike the Rangers, they are not capable of complete aerial tactical manuevering; rather, their jump packs propel them on an immense jump greater than even a Man Cannon can offer. They most commonly use Radar Jammers and Trip Mines, flying in and dropping them near their opponents. The Trip mines are used mostly in the second mission, Crow's Nest. Their Jump Packs do not break down with the rest of their Armor when heavily damaged, so they can continue their airborne assaults until they die.

Jump Pack Brutes will often use their high mobility to get behind and surround the player. As such, it is imperative to listen for the sounds of their jump packs to quickly locate and eliminate them. Upon being defeated, the jump pack will sometimes malfunction, rocketing the Brute wearing it off into a random direction and then exploding.
