Majors and Ultras
Contents
[hide]General Information
Majors and Ultras are uniquely more powerful versions of ordinary Fallen, Hive, Vex and Cabal enemies that you might battle during a Story Mission or Strike.
Majors have yellow name tags. They also have more health, own more powerful shields that recharge faster, and have better Artificial Intelligence. Their headshot damage is also reduced by half compared to normal variants of the enemy. These enemies come in various names and types. You can I.D. them because of their yellow names.
Ultras have a skull mark on their name tags. They are even more powerful than Majors. They retain the extra defense from headshots granted to major enemies. In Addition to better stats, shields and A.I like the Majors, Ultras have circular AoE abilities that knock you back if you get too close.
Fallen Major Locations
Hive Major Locations
- The Steppes on Earth - 3 Majors - The obvious known location is in the subway as soon as you spawn in the Cosmodrome. One knight and two acolyte majors. If someone else is fighting them, you can stand above their location and reap the rewards. (3 majors)
- Archer's Line on Moon - 2 Majors - The two Knights are located just before the Hive Fortress through abandoned space dome thing. I don't recommend this method because it is not as effective as the Earth location.
- The Wakening (Story Mission) on Moon - 4 Majors - Last checkpoint, there are four Hive wizards around Crota's crystal. I don't recommend this method unless you're a decent sniper. Using a solar sniper rifle, you can pick them off easily with a headshot and body shot without aggroing the other wizards. Jump on a platform to avoid the Knights hitting you or take out the knights first.
Vex Major Locations
- Ishtar Cliffs on Venus - 2 to 4 Majors - The Fallen majors spawns near the water caves and the two landing areas for the Skiffs. Do a rotation around the map to have the Fallen continuously spawn.
- Scourge of Winter (Story Mission) on Venus - 2 Majors - Last checkpoint, Draksis. Two Fallen majors that are easy to find and kill. To wipe, let Draksis stomp you.
- Ruling House (Story Mission) on Earth - 3 Majors - Last checkpoint in King's Watch, there are three Fallen captain majors and one Servitor major. Do not kill all three captains or the story will end. You can kill two captains and one servitor. To wipe, jump out of the window.
