Jiralhanae Major

Brute Major is an elevated rank for Brutes of the Covenant. These veteran Brutes are stronger and smarter than their younger counterparts, and have been given the right to wear basic armor. This armor also makes them harder to kill.

Combat
These brutes carry Brute Plasma Rifles and other weapons, but they also occasionally have Brute Shots. They are usually seen commanding less experienced Brutes, and they are more aggressive when Berserking. It is best to try and kill them using a Beam Rifle, Sniper Rifle, or their own weapon: the Brute Shot.
