On the morning of October 21, Jiralhanae Jumpers were deployed onto the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|Waterfront Highway]] as part of the extensive array of defenses there. They were wiped out by the Rookie and Edward Buck, who commandeered several abandoned UNSC vehicles as they escorted Veronica Dare's [[Oliphant]] along the highway. During their holdout at the entrance of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]], the ODSTs held out against waves of Covenant forces as they waited to evacuate Quick to Adjust out of the city. A force of Jumpers were deployed along with a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] as part of a final offence against the ODSTs but they too fell, and Alpha-Nine was successful in leaving the city in a captured Phantom just as Covenant ships began to [[Glassing|glass]] the area.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Coastal Highway (level)|Coastal Highway]]''</ref> | On the morning of October 21, Jiralhanae Jumpers were deployed onto the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|Waterfront Highway]] as part of the extensive array of defenses there.

Many Jiralhanae Jumpers were present on the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] as it departed from [[High Charity]] during the [[Fall of High Charity|fall]] of the Holy City amidst the chaos of the [[Great Schism]].

During the later stages of the [[Battle for Earth|Battle for]] [[Earth]], Covenant forces invaded the UNSC [[Military base|base]] [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]]. The overwhelming nature of the attack forced Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] to issue an evacuation order for the base, while a [[Improvised UNSC bomb|bomb]] was prepared to destroy the base once all UNSC personnel had left. While waiting to evacuate personnel from the base, [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] [[Kilo 023]] was beset from all sides by Jiralhanae Jumpers, who tried to sabotage the thrusters of the stationary Pelican. Fortunately for Lieutenant [[Hocus]] and her crew, John-117 arrived with [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. The Jumpers were soon wiped out by the surprise attack.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref> A number of Jumpers were part of a Covenant force that attacked a UNSC outpost near the top of a rise near a [[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03|pumping station]] along [[Tsavo highway (location)|Tsavo Highway]]. The attacking Covenant were slain by a group of Marines led by John-117, who were using the highway to regroup with the embattled human forces in the nearby city of [[Voi]]. The Covenant sent several [[pack]]s of Jiralhanae to attack the outpost, including a number of Jumpers. They attempted to use nearby rises to pick off humans with Carbines, and even a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]], but all of them were eliminated by the Master Chief and the Marines. A final blockade of Covenant including Jumpers defending a tunnel into Voi was later attacked and wiped out by the Chief, allowing the UNSC force passage into Voi.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> | During the later stages of the [[Battle for Earth|Battle for]] [[Earth]], Covenant forces invaded the UNSC [[Military base|base]] [[Crow's Nest (location)|Crow's Nest]] in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]].

Jiralhanae Jumpers will often use their high mobility to get behind and out-flank their enemies. As such, it is imperative to listen for the sounds of their jump packs and quickly locate and eliminate them. One of their main weaknesses is they generally stay in the same position upon landing and before take off. The large number of blue lights on their chest can betray a Jiralhanae Jumper's position and are a good aiming aid for a player, particularly when one is using a more accurate weapon, like the [[BR55HB battle rifle]], or Type-51 carbine. Also, when flying, they appear unable to fire their weapons. They can, however, begin throwing a Type-2 spike grenade before lifting off, completing this action when airborne. | Jiralhanae Jumpers will often use their high mobility to get behind and out-flank their enemies.

Jiralhanae Jumpers normally use such weapons as spikers, Brute shots, and more often than not, carbines. It would be smart to bring mid-to-long range weapons, such as a carbine or battle rifle.

Upon being defeated, if the final shot or melee attack makes contact with the jump pack, the jump pack will malfunction and rocket the Jiralhanae forwards a short distance. This also works when they are sniped out of the air, and when assassinated. | Upon being defeated, if the final shot or melee attack makes contact with the jump pack, the jump pack will malfunction and rocket the Jiralhanae forwards a short distance.
