Brutes rely primarily on their own technology. They are initially found wielding [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae Variant|Brute Plasma Rifle]] to deadly effect. These faster firing variants on the standard [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|Plasma Rifle]] suit the Brute mentality well, allowing them to lay down a blanket of fire and keep their targets pinned down, though at he price of more rapid overheating. Higher ranking members of the pack (often Captains) are found using the [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shot]] allowing a Brute pack to lay down a withering hail of explosive fire on an enemy position. In the later months of the [[Great Schism]], they become much better equipped, with many weapons of their own making such as [[Type-25 Carbine|Spikers]] and [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Spike Grenades]] (see below). | Brutes rely primarily on their own technology.

Brutes are also fond of explosives and will often use all types of [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade|Grenades]] in combat, although they aren't very accurate, particularly Spike and Incendiary grenades. However, on [[Normal]] and above, these can become lethal tools as they become more accurate (especially the case for Spike Grenades.) Keep in mind that the Spike Grenade acts like the [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]], as one stick results in an instant kill. They have also been known to use [[Fuel Rod Cannons]], [[Rocket Launchers]], and even [[Frag Grenades]].

For some reason, Brutes seem particularly fascinated with Human [[Shotgun|Shotguns]], perhaps attributable to the advent of the Mauler into the Covenant ranks. Their skill with the [[Covenant Carbine]], makes them dangerous at mid to long ranges. On higher difficulties in the level [[high Charity (level)|High Charity]] and in the level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]], Brutes will use [[Battle Rifles]] (although the latter is in a Banshee), but this is quite rare, since they regard most Human weapons as worthless (despite how effective some of these are against them). | ||
With the onset of the [[Great Schism]], Brute weaponry became more varied. The [[Type-2 Antipersonnel Fragmentation Grenade]], more commonly known as the Spike Grenade, is a creation of the Brutes themselves. It is suspected that with their newly found dominance amongst the [[Covenant Loyalists]], the Brute Plasma Rifle has been replaced with the [[Type-25 Carbine]] or Spiker. The blades that adorn this weapon are a testament to their barbaric nature and their affinity for close-quarters combat. | With the onset of the [[Great Schism]], Brute weaponry became more varied.
