"Ready yourselves, we're in for a tough fight!"

Captain Ultra telling his comrades to toughen up.



The '''Captain Ultra''' is the third highest attainable [[rank]] a [[Brute]] can achieve<ref>[[Bungie.net]]</ref>, next to Honor Guards and [[Brute_Chieftain|Chieftains]]. They wear cyan [[Power Armor (Jiralhanae)|Power Armor]], which signifies higher rank than the gold [[Brute Captain Major]]s.<ref>''[[Halo 3]] the Official Guide'' pg 116 under "Thunderstorm"</ref> They seem to be the Jiralhanae equivalent to a Colonel and can command larger packs than their lesser ranks.

==Rank Differences==
Some think that all three [[Brute Captain]] Ranks are equal, but that is not true. Others mistake which color signifies which rank. The Captains have ''violet'' power armor, Captain Majors have ''gold'' power armor, and Captain Ultras have ''cyan'' armor as shown on the right. The cyan color can be mistaken for a [[Brute Bodyguard]]'s, which is a light cobalt color, and the Bodyguards possess a red undergarment, as opposed to the standard one worn by the Captain Ultras. Captain Ultras are an approximate counterpart to [[Ultra Elites]], given the number of troops they command, their superior strength and tactical ability, and their rarity on the battlefield.

==Combat Behavior==
Captain Ultras are very strong. They can take multiple hits from any non-explosive weapon to kill them. The best alternative to an explosive or powerful weapon for these Brutes is the [[Battle Rifle]] to the head, which allows the player to hit them from a distance and kill them with few shots. A single [[Plasma Grenade]] can kill them along with a [[Spike Grenade]], provided they detonate nearby. Ultras are rare in lower difficulties but more common on [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]]. The [[Plasma Pistol]]'s overcharge shot can come in handy as well. They are generally seen leading lesser Brutes, [[Grunts]], and [[Jackals]] into battle.

==Trivia==
*Despite possessing much stronger shields than the [[Brute Captain|Captain Regular]] ones, and slightly stronger than the [[Brute Captain Major|Captain Major]] ones, they are still a bit below those of a [[Major Domo Elite]]: in fact, on the [[Normal]] difficulty, a single shot from a [[Beam Rifle]] will destroy the Power Armor of an Ultra Captain, but won't drain completely the shield of a Major Domo.
*Interestingly, neither a Captain Ultra, nor any other kind of [[Brute]] Captain, has ever been seen manning a [[Wraith]] or a [[Brute Prowler|Prowler]]. Also, the only way to make them drive a [[Chopper]] is to let yours be [[hijack]]ed.
