*This is the first level where you fight [[Jiralhanae]] aka Brutes. They replace [[Sangheili|Elites]] on this level, leading Covenant minor infantry and wielding heavy weapons. Unlike ''Halo 3'''s shielded fairly weak versions, Brutes in ''Reach'' take more after their ''Halo 2'' incarnation, having lots of health, strong melees, and berserking to fight you at melee range, most often with deadly consequences. They're not nearly as broken as in ''Halo 2'', luckily, being easier to headshot and slightly weaker, though it still takes several shots to break their helmet. Since you don't have to break their shields, the [[Noob Combo]] is useless but [[blamite]] weapons like Needlers and Needle Rifles become very handy. Just avoid fighting them at melee range and you should be capable of dealing with them. | *This is the first level where you fight [[Jiralhanae]] aka Brutes.

* | *The key weapon to this area is the sniper rifle. You'll receive a lot of ammo for it, and should you position yourself right you can take out a lot of dangerous threats before they're even capable of hurting you. In total you'll have 36 shots on this mission. | ||
*Unlike ''Halo 2'' and ''3'', berserking does not cause a Brute to sheathe his weapon. Instead he'll charge while firing it rapidly. He won't run as fast as in previous games, but if you see a Brute stop shooting and roar, focus on him. | *Unlike ''Halo 2'' and ''3'', berserking does not cause a Brute to sheathe his weapon.

*Most Brutes are equipped with Armor Lock and will activate it if a Needler or Needle Rifle is shot at them. Wait until the Brute is out of Armor Lock to finish them off. | *Most Brutes are equipped with Armor Lock and will activate it if a Needler or Needle Rifle is shot at them.

*'''Do not kill any civilians!''' If a civilian is killed by you ''even by accident,'' '''you die instantly.''' This proves to be a headache as the civilians you are trying to protect have infantile intelligence and tend to get in the way i.e. running in front of you while firing your weapon. Try to avoid lobbing grenades or firing any heavy artillery near them. If civilians are near enemies, wait until you have a clean shot. | *'''Do not kill any civilians!'''
