On higher difficulties, it takes two [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle]] or [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|particle beam rifle]] shots to destroy their power armor and a third shot to the torso or head to kill them. In terms of strength, battlefield adaptability and rarity, Captain Majors are similar to [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Ultra|Ultras]]. Apparently they increase the morale of their troops (if one is killed, all nearby Grunts will flee). They usually use [[Type-25 Brute shot|Brute shot]]s, and when under attack will deploy their piece of [[equipment]], usually a [[bubble shield]]. In ''Halo 3'' they can be seen commanding troops on the [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarab]] walkers. | ||

When the brute deploys a Bubble shield, the player is advised to seek close range weapons such as a [[M90 shotgun]] and assault the bubble shield. Do this by running as close to the Brutes as possible so that they do not use their weapons against you. Instead they will try to melee you. If you are quick enough, you can dodge the Brute's melee and shoot/melee them in the back, or side. | ||
