Brutes in this game prefer to fight from close-middle range. While they are less aggressive than in Halo 2, they make up for it in variety of tactics and weapons. Brute packs will frequently send a few of their number to force the enemy out of cover, or throw their grenades at walls behind them.

Brutes are also the only enemy users of [[Equipment]], fielding everything but the [[Forerunner automated turret|Autoturret]] and [[Portable gravity lift]]. Most often, they will use the [[Z-4190 bubble shield|Bubble shield]] or [[Deployable cover]] when faced with heavy fire, the [[Flare]] when charging at an enemy, and the [[Power drain]] when faced by vehicles. Other equipments are used by their specialist ranks.

When their armor is broken, Brutes begin berserking, although no more than one Brute berserks at the same time. This can be used to strip multiple targets of their armor without risking (too much). Some circumstances however may bring a Brute to berserk even with their armor on. The use of the [[Radar jammer]] sends them in a frenzy, and sometimes even high ranking ones will berserk if the player evades them for too long. When berserking, a Brute will sheathe his weapon, then crouch down in a wide stance and run towards the enemy. Depending on the distance, they may also make a jump holding their fists together in the air. Brute Captains enrage more rarely than their lower ranked brethren, but also have an additional kind of rampage behavior. When many of their fellows are dead, they may charge the player in a straight line while shooting their weapon at them, ending with a melee attack. This can be particularly dangerous if they are wielding a Brute Shot.
