The Brute Ultra is a Brute (Jiralhanae) rank[1]. It is the highest rank of Brute Infantry. The Brutes of this rank usually lead a small group of Grunts and at least two or three Minor Brutes and sometimes a Major.
Description
The Brute Ultra is the highest rank of the three infantry ranks and as such, they are fewer than Minors and Majors. They are found wearing violet power armor. Because of their intermediate status on the Brute hierarchy, these Brutes can usually be found leading at least two Brute Minors and groups of lesser Grunts and Jackals. They are also frequently led by a higher-ranking Brute Captain or Chieftain. They are higher than the Elite rank of Major, as Covenant Loyalists counterparts. Brute Ultras normally wield Brute Shots unlike their minor and major counterparts, who normally have Spikers.
Equipment
They can be observed wielding a wide variety of weapons. These include Spikers, Brute Shots, Carbines and occasionally, Particle Beam Rifles. In addition to the large list of weaponry, Ultras also pilot Choppers as seen on Tsavo Highway. Several have also been seen driving Prowlers.
Combat
As to be expected, Brute Ultras are the most experienced of the three regular ranks, meaning that they are smarter, tougher and deadlier than their subordinates, and will present more of a problem for the player. When facing an Ultra in battle, you should first pay attention to the weapon he wields and then make your next move based on this. For example, if he has a Mauler, keep a distance between you and him, as his weapon will be less effective at long range. It would be wise to eliminate this threat first unless a higher ranking Brute is on the field.
When wielding Brute Shots, take cover as much as possible, as they will continuously fire upon your position. When you come to close quarters combat, he'll pull his fists upon you, but if you hit him first, you pretty much win, as he gets stunned, leaving him open for more melees.
Notes
Brute Ultras are not to be confused with Brute Majors, as they are stronger, and more dangerous. Ultras have violet armor, and wield Brute Shots and Spikers, or Maulers. Brute Majors have blue/indigo color, and usually wield Spikers.
