| '''Brute Honor Guard''' is a [[Covenant]] [[Jiralhanae]] (Brute) rank.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| The Brute Honor Guards took the place of the [[Elite]]s as the [[Honor Guard|protectors]] of the [[High Prophets]] after the [[Regret (Level)|murder of the]] [[High Prophet of Regret]]. This "[[Changing of the Guard]]" was the beginning of the [[Civil War of the Covenant]] or [[Great Schism]], as the Elites were incensed that their role of protecting the Prophets, which they had faithfully executed for millenia, had been now delegated by these new upstarts and genetic rivals.
| |
| | |
| They are found on the levels [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]] and [[The Great Journey (Level)|The Great Journey]] and make their first appearances during the starting cutscene of the level Sacred Icon where they take the [[Honor Guard Pike]]s and [[armor]] of the [[Elite Honor Guard]]s. They are also the first Brute rank to be encountered alive by the player at the start of Gravemind.

| ==Combat==

| |
| Brute Honor Guards fight with their own Brute-crafted weapons, which include the [[Brute Plasma Rifle]], the [[Brute Shot]] and sometimes the [[Covenant Carbine]]. They always work in pairs/packs of 2-3 Brutes and will go berserk when all but one are killed. Unlike their Elite counterparts, Brute Honor Guards cannot receive [[headshots]] due to the fact that they both wear the same Honor Guard helmet. Many player prefer to use the carbine on the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]], but this makes it somewhat ineffective. If you fire at their head with a Covenant Carbine, [[M6C Magnum]] or [[Battle Rifle]] you can see their 'normal helmet' fall off. The best way to kill these Brutes is to [[dual-wield]] (Brute) [[Plasma Rifle]]s, to fire a full clip of a [[Needler]], use the M6C Magnum or the Brute Shot. Or simply stick them with a [[Plasma Grenade]], as they are somewhat slow. [[Fuel Rod Cannon]]s and Brute Shots are effective, but are not as effective as any of the other weapons mentioned before.
| |
| | |
| ==Physiology==
| |
| Brute Honor Guards wear the same armor as the [[Elite Honor Guard]]s but with slightly different 'plates'. These 'plates' have a yellow and red alternating pattern, bordered by black. This yellow/red alternating pattern is also seen on the thrones of High [[Prophets]]. The helmet has been upgraded and made larger because [[Brutes]] have larger heads than [[Elites]] and also have a yellow/red alternating pattern. They also have a red Brute Captain flag mounted on their shoulder.

| | |
| ==Appearances==
| |
| The Brute Honor Guards were first battled in the level [[Gravemind (Level)|Gravemind]] in [[Halo 2]], although they were first seen in the opening cutscene of the level [[Sacred Icon]]. They also briefly appear in [[Halo: Uprising]], again guarding the [[Prophet of Truth]]. However, it should be noted that the Brute Honor Guard does not appear in [[Halo 3]]; they appear to have been supplanted by the [[Brute Bodyguard]].
