Some think that all three [[Brute Captain]] Ranks are equal, but that is not true. Others mistake which color signifies which rank. The Captains have ''violet'' power armor, Captain Majors have ''gold'' power armor, and Captain Ultras have ''cyan'' armor as shown on the right. The cyan color can be mistaken for a [[Brute Bodyguard]]'s, which is a light cobalt color, and the Bodyguards possess a red undergarment, as opposed to the standard one worn by the Captain Ultras. Captain Ultras are an approximate counterpart to [[Ultra Elites]], given the number of troops they command, their superior strength and tactical ability, and their rarity on the battlefield. | Some think that all three [[Brute Captain]] Ranks are equal, but that is not true.

Captain Ultras are very strong. They can take multiple hits from any non-explosive weapon to kill them. The best alternative to an explosive or powerful weapon for these Brutes is the [[Battle Rifle]] to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them with few shots. A single [[Plasma Grenade]] can kill them along with a [[Spike Grenade]], provided they detonate nearby. Ultras are rare in lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]]. The [[Plasma Pistol]]'s overcharge shot can come in handy as well. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes, [[Grunts]], and [[Jackals]] into battle. | Captain Ultras are very strong.
