Defeat Barroth, an elite Jackal sniper in halo infinite, located northwest of Fob Lima. He uses the Stalker Rifle Ultra.

Barroth is an elite Jackal specializing in sniping. He is found on the ledge of some ring foundations, northwest of Fob Lima, or southeast of Riven Gate. His profile states he is a Ruuhtian marksman known for his accuracy, attributed with at least 271 UNSC deaths. He wields the Stalker Rifle Ultra, a variant that consumes less battery per shot (2% instead of 3%), has a lower cooldown, and takes longer to overheat than the standard Stalker Rifle. While it inflicts less damage per shot, he can fire more frequently and for longer periods. Barroth is vulnerable to all damage types and has no energy shield, making him a priority target to eliminate early. The area also contains elite Brutes, regular Jackals, Grunts, and potential reinforcements.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate Barroth on the ledge of the ring foundations northwest of Fob Lima.
  2. 2
    Engage Barroth carefully but with extreme prejudice.
  3. 3
    Prioritize eliminating Barroth early to avoid his sniping while you deal with other enemies below.
  4. 4
    Use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) consistently to avoid his shots.
  5. 5
    On legendary difficulty, Barroth can kill you in one to two hits, so extreme caution is needed to avoid incoming fire.
  6. 6
    If you anticipate being shot, use the Thruster to quickly move out of the way and find a safer position.
  7. 7
    Alternatively, use the Grappleshot to ascend the ring foundations towards Barroth, but be aware he may shoot you during the ascent or upon reaching the top.
  8. 8
    Deploy a Drop Wall as soon as you reach him for protection.
  9. 9
    It should not take many shots from any weapon to defeat Barroth, as he is a glass cannon.
Tips
  • The Stalker Rifle Ultra, while less powerful per shot, allows Barroth to fire more frequently and for longer durations.
  • If you can get out of range of his shots or find cover, his threat is significantly reduced.
  • The Stalker Rifle is located directly behind Barroth’s initial position after he is defeated.
