They often use weapons such as [[Type-25 Brute shot]]s, [[Nakata'vho-pattern plasma repeater|plasma repeaters]], [[Type-50 concussion rifle|concussion rifles]], [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spikers]], [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle}}|needle rifles]], and even [[Type-2 gravity hammer|gravity hammer]]s. During the Schism, their range of weaponry expanded, and in addition to the Brute shot, they wield both the [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] and the {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}.{{Ref/Reuse|H3}} During the Great Schism, some Jiralhanae Captains even used [[M90 shotgun|human-made shotguns]] at times.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Uprising]]''</ref> | ||

The Jiralhanae Captain sports more defenses than the standard Jiralhanae and is therefore more difficult to engage, especially on higher difficulty settings. Their primary tactics are to bombard an enemy at range with the high-caliber explosive projectiles from the Brute shot and they also sport a ferocious [[melee]] attack at close range, making the options available to the player limited when encountering a Jiralhanae Captain. | The Jiralhanae Captain sports more defenses than the standard Jiralhanae and is therefore more difficult to engage, especially on higher difficulty settings.

At close range the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] and the shotgun are recommended. A preferable tactic when approaching any Jiralhanae Captain with a shotgun is to put a quick burst into their chest and quickly follow up with a beat-down to the face. This tactic can kill a Jiralhanae Captain (on any difficulty) with efficiency (strictly ''Halo 3''). | ||
