What happened to the Skirmishers?

The enemy in halo reach the Skirmishers are similar to jackals but what happened to them in the other halo games?

They were kind of a Reach exclusive, in a way - at least in the way that that’s the only place they appear in the games. I’m sure they’re considered canon and appear in other Halo media though.

I think Skirmishers are just a different class of Jackal…kinda like how the Heretics in Halo 2 looked different from the regular Covenant.

Makes sence

Nah it was a “cousin” species courtesy of the books and I believe the reach Manual said so too?

So did they die out? or just not in game

I don’t think they died out it might of been just an exclusive to reach? Maybe they left the covenant due to mistreatment or they don’t believe in the journey anymore?

Good job. Get rid of those annoying things XD

I did wish the skirmishers would come back as well as the drones…as annoying as they were.

Same. I forgot about the drones. I miss them even though they were annoying.

getting rid of annoyances can be quite salubrious

They went to near extinction, and I believe they went back to their home planet.

They decided to go on holiday?

In my head cannon they are the jackal snipers. In real cannon they are a slightly different species that were used too heavily on reach and went extinct. Bur realistically they were just a different enemy type invented to have in halo reach and they weren’t interesting enough to have in later games after reach.

They were always a minority species of the Kig-Yar, they were either integrated or just went extinct.

Ah, my bad.

I would prefer them instead of regular kig yar
