Rank Differences

Two Brute Captain Ultras with Brute Shots.

Some think that all three Brute Captain Ranks are equal, but that is not true. Others mistake which color signifies which rank. The Captains have violet power armor, Captain Majors have gold power armor, and Captain Ultras have light cobalt armor as shown above.

In Combat

Captain Ultras are very strong; it 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 Battle Rifle, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them within a few shots. A single Plasma Grenade can kill them. Ultras are rare in lower difficulties but more common on Heroic and Legendary. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes and Grunts in battle. The cyan color can be mistaken for a Brute Bodyguard's, which is light cobalt in color, and the Bodyguards possess a red undergarment as opposed to the standard one worn by the Captain Ultra.

-Captain Ultras are very strong; it can take multiple hits from any non-explosive weapon to kill them. Though the best weapon (non-explosive) for these Brutes is the [[Battle Rifle]], a few shots to the head is a guaranteed kill.  However, the [[Spartan Laser]] and grenade sticks will still usually kill them in one hit. A single [[Plasma Grenade]] can kill them. If it does not, aim for the head.  Ultras are rare in lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]].  They are generally seen leading lesser [[Brutes]] and [[Grunts]] in battle. The cyan color can be mistaken for a [[Brute Bodyguard]]'s, which is light cobalt in color, Bodyguard's also have red underwear under their power armor while the Ultra's do not.One more tactic would to just melee in heroic and below.
