Brute Bodyguards almost always carry one piece of Equipment; a [[Power Drainer]], [[Bubble Shield]], or [[Regenerator]]. They seem to overwhelmingly favor the Regenerator, often using it to support their Chieftain by helping to rapidly recharge his shields.

Brute Bodyguards can quickly dispatch the [[Master Chief|player]]'s shield with Plasma Rifles, and Maulers, if shields are low. Their Power Armor is highly susceptible to plasma-based weaponry, with the Plasma Rifle and the Plasma Pistol's overcharge shot greatly exemplifying this. As with other Power Armor, once disabled, its shielding will not recharge. With their helmets removed, any head shot will then quickly eliminate the Bodyguard.
When encountering a Brute pack that is led by a Chieftain, it is standard Brute tactics for the [[Brute Minors]]/[[Brute Majors]] to advance on the player while the Bodyguards hang back to protect the Chieftain, even going so far as to move into the player's line of fire to shield the Chieftain with their bodies if he starts taking gunfire from long range. If the Chieftain retreats (such as during the final encounter in [[The Storm]]), the Bodyguards will also fall back with him while the remaining Grunts and Brutes remain behind to delay the player's advance.

A single headshot from the Particle Beam Rifle or Sniper Rifle will kill a fully armored Brute Bodyguard, even on Legendary difficulty.
