Worst To Best Halo Enemies Of All Time (From Every Halo Game)

Elites, Grunts, Jackals, Brutes, just to name a few of the many enemies you encounter in Halo games. Every Halo game over the years had it's own version of Halo enemies, so which are the best and which are the worst Halo enemies of all time?

Bungie did an outstanding job with the elites in Reach. There seriously look massive and menacing compared to Spartans.

You forgot the super-secret enemy type! The Sentinel Drop turret. After you kill guilty spark on the last mission of Halo 3, those droppable sentry turrets turn hostile towards you just like the sentinels do, even if you have them in your inventory and toss them down.

Sentinel turret, 10/10 best enemy.

I can tell you that the Invisible Flood can also be found in Halo 2 during High Charity.
It appears on Legendary only and it wields an Energy Sword. So yep, deadly one.

From memory there's also that one human soldier guy in ODST that turns against you when you pick up the final audio log of Sadie's story in the level Data Hive. He has a shotgun, which can mess you up if you don't know what's coming.

The reactors in The Maw have an enemy labeled as invisible damage detectors to determine if you've destroyed the reactors. You can see these in Generalkidd's video covering secret characters in Halo 1. Now, I believe the reason the game counts them as brute kills is that the scoring system has no identification for them and fills it in with the first alphabetical category by default.

halo infinite brutes seem more like strength in numbers compared to elites being the well elite soldiers placed more far and few and i liked that dynamic a lot

Fun fact: The Vengeful ‘Vadam discovered that in Halo 2 the Hunters they where planned to have shields over their bodies. Imagine a pair of hunters with shields (I mean the shields that Master Chief and the Elites have)

[darkknightkg]

Not sure why the Hunters in Halo Infinite don't get more attention. Felt like they were the hardest to fight, and their new design was really cool. Hunters have always been a special enemy for me. I remember in middle school playing against Halo 2 hunters in some of those darker levels. Scared me so much I had to have a friend take them out for me. Lol

[sunnyyang]

Personally I felt like the shotgun Flood in Halo CE were significantly worse to fight than the Rocket Flood since they were more difficult to see and likely more common.

[melissawaterman]

14:08 this is actually not the only time you see invisible Flood. In Halo 2 if you play High Charity on Legendary, you will encounter invisible Flood in both the second room with the large glass window and once you get to the top of the elevator following this.

[Golgari]

The real boss fight in Halo Infinite is that Gravity Hammer Brute Chieftain you gotta kill before the Harbinger.

[SerathDarklands]

The Hunters have always been my favorite of all of Halo's various creatures. It's just really cool how the Lekgolo worms can combine and exponentially increase their strength and intelligence.

[fanamatakecick]

The Kig-Yar have multiple different subspecies. Skirmishers and Jackals are to each other as a husky is to a wolf

[beastmode]

To clarify, the Skirmishers are a different subspecies of the Kig-Yar. So they are the same species as the Jackals, just different genetically as they can run faster, jump higher etc

[Przva]

I was so glad when they added Promethean soldiers in Halo 5. The knights infuriated me all through 4 and I was glad to see a more manageable enemy.

[ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem]

Remember the invisible flood in CE? What if they were in more levels and we gave them rocket launchers?

[shrimpguy]

I really miss bungie elite AI. The way they danced around the environment was very engaging.
In halo 1 and 2 I’d never seen an AI dance and spin around and duck behind cover the way they do

[inductivegrunt]

Halo 3 honestly had the best Brutes to me, all the unique armors and how balanced they were compared to Halo 2. And the different versions of the like the Jump Brutes, Brute Stalkers, and Brute Chieftains were all really cool. Halo Infinite is a close second.

And as for the Brutes on The Maw, those are just placeholders since the Spectre and Prowler don't have icons either.

[RedTHedge]

Grunts have always been my favourite. They can be very annoying, but they're still kinda cute in a way.

[vancebonson]

Thing I like most about the Prometheans was that they quite literally disappear up their own arseholes.

Funniest teleport animation EVER.
