In ''Halo 3'', Jiralhanae power armor does not give off as much glow as Sangheili and SPARTAN energy shields do when hit, which can be useful for concealing the wearer's position. Since it falls apart once the shields go down, the [[Flood]] cannot use it for themselves. Also, the Chieftain and War Chieftain power armor variants cannot be stuck by plasma or spike grenades. In ''Halo 3: ODST'', however, Brute power armor glows brightly when hit, akin to MJOLNIR and Sangheili shielding. | In ''Halo 3'', Jiralhanae power armor does not give off as much glow as Sangheili and SPARTAN energy shields do when hit, which can be useful for concealing the wearer's position.

A standard Brute's shielding is a little over half as powerful as that of a [[Sangheili Minor]], collapsing after seven to nine assault rifle hits on the [[Heroic]] difficulty, compared to twelve assault rifle shots for a Minor Elite's shields. The shielding of a [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]] or chieftain are only on par with an Elite Minor's shields, dropping after only twelve to fourteen [[MA5C assault rifle]] shots or several plasma rifle bolts. However, in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', Brute power armor is more than twice as resistant to projectile weapons than it was in ''Halo 3'', making Brutes noticeably more durable opponents when fought with human projectile weaponry. | ||
In ''Halo: Reach'', only [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae chieftains]] wear power armor. It is more resilient than the armor worn by chieftains in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'', potentially requiring multiple [[MA37 assault rifle]] magazines to disable. This version of the power armor features regenerating shields. Though [[Jiralhanae Captain Major|Captain Majors]] are fully armored, they do not have shields. However, all ranks can use [[Armor Lock]]. | In ''Halo: Reach'', only [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae chieftains]] wear power armor.

While the Army Commander is highly resistant to damage, the mechanics of his power armor are not depicted in-game. When Brutes are killed, their power armor leaks plasma but remains intact, unlike in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST''. | ||
