Once the shielding has failed, the armor typically falls apart, becoming unusable.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 3}}{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}}{{Ref/Reuse|Contact Harvest}} | ||
The armor displays the rank of the wearer through color and complexity. This system is similar to those used by the [[Unggoy]] and the Sangheili, although it follows its own nomenclature. Weighing over half a ton, the armor provides light protection to its Jiralhanae wearer.{{Ref/Reuse|enc142}} | The armor displays the rank of the wearer through color and complexity.
