The Jiralhanae Warrior[1] is a standard Jiralhanae infantry type employed by the Banished usually denoted by their blue or purple armor.

Overview

Often young and inexperienced, warriors are the most common of all Jiralhanae infantry in the Banished. They are outfitted with standard body armor and basic weapons, and must prove themselves in battle in order to climb the ranks. The majority of warriors remain in this role for the entirety of their service to the Banished and often end up dying on the frontlines. Warriors who manage to prove themselves on the battlefield may be granted the title of Chosen Warrior.[2]

Some warriors are given command over other species (such as the Unggoy and Kig-Yar) in order to demonstrate their ability to lead. Other warriors may be given specialized roles, such as thrust-assisted jumpers or high-explosive grenadiers. These specialized warriors are monitored closely by a seasoned captain.[2]

Gameplay

Blue-armored warriors will primarily make use of the Erudo'ma'keth-pattern pulse carbine and the Mangler, while purple-armored warriors typically use the BR75 battle rifle, VK78 Commando, and the CQS48 Bulldog. Purple warriors are often equipped with personal energy shields. Both variants carry spike grenades.

Warriors will commonly drive Ghosts and Choppers.
