In Response To: Re: How bout' Jackals? (Santiago)
Keeping in mind that it's much quicker to change weapons than to reload the one in your hand... try a charged plasma pistol blast to lower a Jackals shield, then switch to AR, plasma rifle or needler to finish them off. This technique also works well for shielded elites: Charged plasma pistol blast to lower their shields then quick switch to needler. One clip usually does the trick.
: My preferred way of dealing with Jackals is to lob a grenade in the middle of
: them, especially since they like to travel in twos and threes. The trick
: is to also use suppression fire, since if you don't, they will get out of
: the way before it goes off. If you're shooting at them, they'll usually
: stay still and get blown up. If they move, you shoot them while they're
: rolling and exposed.
