On their ventral sides, they carry jump packs for increased mobility. They are the Brute counterpart to [[Elite]] (Sangheili) [[Ranger Elite|Rangers]], but unlike the Rangers whom were met in a low-gravity environment, they are not capable of complete aerial tactical maneuvering; rather, their jump packs propel them on an immense jump a greater distance than even a [[Man Cannon]] can offer. They most commonly use [[Radar Jammer]], [[Flare]] and [[Trip Mines]], flying in and dropping them near their opponents. Their jump packs do not break down with the rest of their [[Power Armor (Jiralhanae)|Power Armor]] when heavily damaged, so they may continue their airborne assaults until they are killed. They replaced the Ranger Elites of ''[[Halo 2]]'' after the Elites formed the [[Covenant Separatists]]. | ==Description== | ||

Upon being defeated, if the final shot or melee attack made contact with the back of the jump pack, the jump pack will malfunction and rocket the Brute forwards a short distance. This also works when they are sniped out of the air. Another effective tactic is to run up to them when they are on the ground and melee them, or stay where they are going to land and shoot them with a overcharged plasma pistol and melee them. | Upon being defeated, if the final shot or melee attack made contact with the back of the jump pack, the jump pack will malfunction and rocket the Brute forwards a short distance.

Jump Pack Brutes are not extremely challenging, assuming you know what to do when you see them. It takes them a few seconds for them to land after being at the maximum height, so the player can easily look up and run under the Brute, then assassinate him when he lands. It is recommended you do NOT use an automatic weapon on them while they are soaring through the air. Also, on the level [[Crow's Nest (Level)|Crow's Nest]], the Jump Pack Brutes have [[Trip Mines]], and placing one down under the spot where they are about to land is fatal to them. | Jump Pack Brutes are not extremely challenging (though they are overwhelming in large numbers), assuming you know what to do when you see them.
