Jiralhanae Captain Ultra: Difference between revisions

*[[Type-25 brute shot]]

 

The '''Captain Ultra''' is the third highest attainable [[rank]] a [[Jiralhanae]] can achieve<ref>[[Bungie.net]]</ref>, next to [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman]] and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftains]]. They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a [[Lieutenant Colonel]] or [[Commander]] and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks.

Captain Ultras wear cyan [[Jiralhanae power armor]], which signifies higher rank than the gold [[Jiralhanae Captain Major]]s.<ref>''[[Halo 3]] the Official Guide'' pg 116 under "Thunderstorm"</ref> They are stronger and more experienced than other Brute infantry and Captain ranks.

Captain Ultras are very strong opponents. They can take multiple hits from any non-explosive weapon to kill them. The best alternative to an explosive or powerful weapon for these Brutes is the [[BR55HB battle rifle]] to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them with few shots. A single [[Type-1 plasma grenade]] can kill them along with a [[Type-2 spike grenade]], provided they detonate nearby each other. Ultras are rare on lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulties. The [[Type-25 plasma pistol]]'s overcharge shot can come in handy as well to take out their shields. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes, [[Unggoy|Grunts]], and [[Kig-Yar|Jackals]] into battle.

*Despite possessing much stronger shields than the [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain Regulars]], and slightly stronger than the [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Majors]], they are still a bit below those of a [[Sangheili Major]]: in fact, on the [[Normal]] difficulty, a single shot from a [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]] will destroy the Power Armor of an Ultra Captain, but won't completely drain the shield of a Major.

*Interestingly, neither a Captain Ultra, nor any other kind of Brute Captain, has ever been seen manning a [[Type-26 Wraith]] or a [[Type-52 Prowler]]. Also, the only way to make them drive a [[Type-25 Chopper]] is to let yours be [[hijack]]ed.
