The '''Brute Buddies'''  is a [[glitch]] that can only be performed on the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level [[Great Journey (Level)|Great Journey]].
==Walkthrough==
In the Great Journey, when you're escorting [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]]'s [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] in a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]], fly to the ground near the [[Control Room]] and wait for another Banshee to fly down to you, [[Naval boarding|hijack]] it. The [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] pilot will fall out and land on the ground, but he will not die.


==How to do it==
Fly down and get close to the Brute, and he will calmly walk toward you and follow you wherever you go. Even though he is making berserker yells, he will not attack you. If you do the same with others, they, too, will follow you—so you can have an entire pack of harmless Brutes follow you wherever you want. However, if you kill one of them, and another one sees you, he will go berserk and attack you.  
Play the level Great Journey on any difficulty. When you're in the [[Banshee]] and Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]] is in the [[Scarab]], fly to the ground near the [[Control Room]] and wait for a Banshee to fly down to you. [[Hijack]] it. The [[Brute]] will fall out and land on the ground but he will not die. Fly down and get close to the Brute and he will calmly walk toward you and follow you wherever you go. Even though he is making berserker yells he will not attack you. If you do the same with others they too will follow so you can have a Brute pack follow you wherever you want. However, if you kill one of them, and another one see's you, he will more than likely go berserk, and attack you.


== Other Appearances ==
Also, in the same area, when you see an overturned [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]], get out of your Banshee. The Brute there will not attack nor have a weapon.
On the Halo 3 level [[Tsavo Highway]], upon reaching the area where the Marines are pinned down by Brutes and there is a vehicle barrier that you must destroy. You will find a platform to the left with a Brute wielding a carbine, if you stand on his head and take down his shields with a melee, he will go into a berserker stance and may yell, but he will simply stand there, looking at you whenever you move from his sight. This glitch will only ocassionally work and has only been seen a few times succesfully.


==Explanation==
This glitch occurs because many brute pilots on the Great Journey are spawned without weapons. The brutes ''want'' to attack the player, but have no way of doing so, since they have no animations tied to meleeing with no weapons. This can be proven by the fact that weaponless brutes go berserk when you kill one of their pack. In addition, if you get a weaponless brute on top of a wraith you're piloting, he will board it and start hitting you.

A Brute without any weapon.

The Brute Buddies glitch is an AI-related phenomenon that occurs in the Halo 2 Campaign level the Great Journey. It may be related to Halo 3's "Friendly" Brutes glitch.

Walkthrough[edit]

In the Great Journey, when you're escorting Sergeant Johnson's Scarab in a Banshee, fly to the ground near the Control Room and wait for another Banshee to fly down to you, hijack it. The Brute pilot will fall out and land on the ground, but he will not die.

Fly down and get close to the Brute, and he will calmly walk toward you and follow you wherever you go. Even though he is making berserker yells, he will not attack you. If you do the same with others, they, too, will follow you—so you can have an entire pack of harmless Brutes follow you wherever you want. However, if you kill one of them, and another one sees you, he will go berserk and attack you.

Also, in the same area, when you see an overturned Wraith, get out of your Banshee. The Brute there will not attack nor have a weapon.

Explanation[edit]

This glitch occurs because many brute pilots on the Great Journey are spawned without weapons. The brutes want to attack the player, but have no way of doing so, since they have no animations tied to meleeing with no weapons. This can be proven by the fact that weaponless brutes go berserk when you kill one of their pack. In addition, if you get a weaponless brute on top of a wraith you're piloting, he will board it and start hitting you.
