A '''Major''' is a high-power combatant of any species or class. They can be distinguished by their yellow health bars and sometimes unique names. These enemies have more health and attack power, than regular enemies, and may be equipped with [[Absorption Shield]]s their base counterparts lack. Most majors are also more alert, and will often strafe sideways to dodge incoming attacks. Majors can appear anywhere from [[Patrol]]s to [[Raid]]s and can come in the form of any enemy species. | |||

Majors in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' are also identified as Mini-Boss by the game, with their original role of "stronger line soldier" being taken by [[Elite]]s. Like the latter, they usually have different, more ornate designs and colorations. Killing or [[Finisher|finishing]] a Major has a higher chance to yield Power Ammo.
