== | ==Gameplay== | ||
Captain Ultras are very strong opponents. 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 [[BR55HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them with few shots. A single [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] can kill them along with a [[Type-2 spike grenade|spike grenade]], provided they detonate nearby each other. Ultras are rare on lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties. The [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]]'s overcharge shot can come in handy as well to take out their shields. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes, [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]] into battle. | Captain Ultras are very strong opponents.
