ELITE COMMANDER

The most common Covenant leaders on the battlefield are Elite Commanders, operating in tandem with local Sangheili, Kig-Yar and Unggoy combat squads. These battle-hardened soldiers, most who’ve served within the Covenant for decades, provide essential strategic and tactical prowess in the battlefield. Traditionally, Elite Commanders wear heavier, more elaborate armor sets displaying their heritage of skill and honor, wielding weapons like the Concussion Rifle or the Covenant Carbine.
