In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Major enemies have become mini-bosses, while a new rank of enemies, known as [[Elite|Elites]] have taken over their original role. D2 Majors have an increased chance of dropping Power ammo, which makes them priority targets for players who use their [[Weapons#Heavy_weapons|heavy weapons]] often.

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 shields their base counterparts lack. Most majors are also more alert, and will often strafe sideways to dodge incoming attacks. Majors can appear anywhere from Patrols to Raids and can come in the form of any enemy species.
