Jiralhanae Ultra

The Ultra is a Brute (Jiralhanae) rank. They are the highest rank of Brute Infantry. They usually lead a group of grunts or lead a small group of grunts and at least two minor brutes. But they may also be lead by a captain or chieftain.

Rank
The Ultra Brute is the highest rank of the three widespread ranks and as such they are found wearing violet power armor. Because of the intermediate statuses on the Brute ranking ladder the Ultra Brute can usually be found leading at least two Minor Brutes and a group of lesser Grunts. But they are also frequently being lead by a higher-ranking Captain or Chieftain. They are lower in rank than a Brute Captain.

Equipment
The Ultra Brute can be observed to be wielding a wide variant of weapons these include, Spikers, Brute Shots, Carbines and occasionally Particle Beam Rifles, besides the large list of weaponry, Ultra Brutes also pilot Choppers as seen on Tsavo Highway. Several Ultra Brutes have also been seen driving Prowlers on The Covenant. They can be easily taken down by shots to the head.

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 far more deadly than their subordinates. When facing the Ultra in battle, you should first pay attention to the weapon it wields, then make your next move based on this.
