Captain Majors are much tougher than standard Brutes; their armor can take more damage than others, and with the [[Halo_3_Skulls|Mythic]] or [[Tilt]] skulls activated, they can survive a [[Plasma Grenade]] or [[Spike Grenade]] stick (on higher difficulties). On higher difficulties, it takes two [[Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Matériel|Sniper Rifle]] or [[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]] [[Ultra Elite|Ultras]]. Apparently they increase the morale of their troops (if one is killed, all nearby [[Grunts]] will flee). They usually use [[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 [[Scarab]] walkers. | Captain Majors are much tougher than standard Brutes; their armor can take more damage than others, and with the [[Halo_3_Skulls|Mythic]] or [[Tilt]] skulls activated, they can survive a [[Plasma Grenade]] or [[Spike Grenade]] stick (on higher difficulties).
