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]]. However, [[Spartan-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] managed to infiltrate the ship via a [[High Charity conduit|conduit]] connecting the ship to High Charity. While the Dreadnought made its way to [[Earth]], the Spartan made his way towards the Prophet of Truth, killing any Covenant he came across. After unsuccessfully attempting to assassinate the [[Hierarch]] with a [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbine]], John-117 was forced to kill a massive group of Jiralhanae, including a number of Jumpers, to continue.<ref>'''[[Halo: Uprising]]'''</ref>

During the later stages of the [[Battle for Earth|Battle for]] [[Earth]], Covenant forces invaded the UNSC [[Military base|base]] [[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 [[Unidentified 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 [[Battle of Installation 00|Battle]] of [[Installation 00]], a large Jiralhanae pack including Jumpers and [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Stalker]] units was deployed into one of the installation's [[Cartographer#Installation 00|Cartographer]] facilities. Led by Chieftain [[Cethegus]], the pack was charged with halting the Master Chief's progress as the human left the facility. Even as the Spartan proceeded to attack the Stalkers of his pack, Cethegus taunted the human before retreating to an exterior platform where he regrouped with his Jumper packmates. As the Master Chief approached the Jiralhanae after wiping out the Stalkers in a previous room, the Prophet of Truth communicated with Cethegus via a nearby holo-pedestal; the Chieftain was to defeat the [[Covenant religion#Demons|"Demon"]] by himself. The Jumpers retreated to the outer rim of the platform, allowing the two to do battle. Despite his best efforts, Chieftain Cethegus fell. The Jumpers sprang into action, vainly attempting to avenge their fallen commander, but they too were slain.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref><ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-brute-force '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Brute Force'']</ref> A group of Jumpers were among the last remaining Covenant soldiers defending the Prophet of Truth within the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]].

This combined force spelled doom for the Covenant defenders; the Jumpers soon fell along with their comrades.
