Brute armour

The brute armour shows the rank of each brute. They come in the colors gold blue and black. The order from least to most in command is listed below.

pack brothers(soldiers), captains, brute chieftans, head brute,

As seen in halo 2, Tarturas was the head brute who killed his uncle for his position for he used to be head brute. The brutes armour color identifies there positions, blue light armour is pack brothers, blue heavy armour are captains, gold armour is for brute cheiftans, and the head brute never wears any specific armour type. Black brute armour is regularily worn by pack brothers who have cloaking or maybe some type of jetpack. Jetpacks are also worn by blue armoured pack brothers. Though these armours are not shown in halo:combat envoled, or halo 2 exept by the honor guards, in halo 3 they make the game more challenging and brutes more powerfull, it is still unlclear how these brutes get their ranks or earn them, maybe they get them by how many casualties they make just like elites armour ranking.
