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. Majors often have names themed around the activity they appear in, like the "Deceived" enemies of [[Gambit]], while other times they are named like their [[Minor]] or Elite version. Some rare enemies only appear as Major or stronger units, like [[Tormentor]]s. However, some common reoccurring ones exist.

Some Cabal factions also have an elite "Guard" division that appears in many activities, with different armor and always equipped with [[Absorption Shield]]s.
