Jiralhanae Ultra

Were you looking for Brute Captain Ultras?

The Ultra is a Brute (Jiralhanae) rank. They are the highest rank of Brute Infantry. They usually lead a small group of Grunts and at least two or three Minor Brutes and sometimes a Major.

Rank
The Brute Ultra, rank is the highest rank of the three infantry ranks and as such, they are found wearing violet power armor. Because of their intermediate status on the Brute hierarchy, these Brutes can usually be found leading at least two Brute Minors and groups of lesser Grunts and Jackals .They are also frequently led by a higher-ranking Brute Captain or Chieftain. They are purportedly between Elite ranks of Minor Domo and Major Domo, as Covenant Loyalists counterparts.

Equipment
They can be observed wielding a wide variety of weapons. These include Spikers, Brute Shots, Carbines and occasionally, Particle Beam Rifles. In addition to the large list of weaponry, Ultras also pilot Choppers as seen on Tsavo Highway. Several have also been seen driving Prowlers.

Combating an Ultra Brute
As to be expected, the veteran Brute Ultras are the most experienced of the three regular ranks, meaning that they are smarter, tougher and deadlier than their subordinates, and will present more of a problem for the player. When facing an Ultra in battle, you should first pay attention to the weapon it wields, then make your next move based on this. For example, if he has a Mauler, keep a distance between you and him, as his weapon will be less effective at long range. It would be wise to eliminate this threat first unless a higher ranking Brute is on the field.
