Jiralhanae Captain Ultra

The Captain Ultra is the second highest attainable rank a Brute can achieve, next to Chieftain, they wear cyan Power Armor, which signifies higher rank than the gold Brute Captain Majors.

Rank Differences

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 cyan armor as shown on the right. They are sometimes mistaken for Brute Bodyguards which have red under-armor instead of black. Captain Ultras are approximately a counterpart to Ultra Elites, given the number of troops they command, their superior strength and tactical ability and their rarity on the battlefield.

Combat Behavior

Captain Ultras are very strong. 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 Battle Rifle to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them within a few shots. A single Plasma Grenade can kill them along with a Spike Grenade. Ultras are rare in lower difficulties but more common on Heroic and Legendary. The Plasma Pistol's overcharge shot can come in handy, too. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes, Grunts, and Jackals into 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 Ultras.

Captain Ranking System

• Captain Ultra (Highest)
• Captain Major
• Captain Regular (Lowest)

Trivia

• Despite possessing much stronger shields than the Captain Regular ones, and slightly stronger than the Captain Major ones, they're still a bit below those of a Major Domo Elite: in fact, on the Normal difficulty, a single shot from a Beam Rifle will destroy the Power Armor of an Ultra Captain, but won't drain completely the shield of a Major Domo.
