| |
| '''Ultra''' is the highest regular rank among the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]'s [[Sangheili]] warriors and later those of the [[Covenant separatists]].
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| Sangheili Ultras command specific operations, serving as field officers. They are directly subordinate to [[Sangheili Zealot]], who command fleets and armies. They are sometimes deployed on high-priority missions, often alone. For example, Ultras are known to command [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab assault platforms]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref> However, they often engage in open battle.<ref name="Reach">'''Halo: Reach'''</ref><ref>'''[[Deliver Hope]]'''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Ultras wear pearlescent armor with higher-than-average shield strength. Their armor has red markings and a crested helmet similar to that of the [[councilor]]s.<ref name="Reach"/> In combat, Sangheili Ultras typically wield [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|plasma rifles]], though they also commonly use [[Type-51 Directed Energy Rifle/Improved|plasma repeaters]] and [[Type-50 Directed Energy Rifle/Heavy|concussion rifles]]. Ultras are sometimes seen with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] in close combat.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', all Sangheili encountered will become Ultras with the [[Halo 2 Skulls#Thunderstorm|Thunderstorm]] [[Halo: Reach Skulls#Thunderstorm|skull]] activated.
| |
| *In the level ''[[Floodgate]]'' in ''[[Halo 3]]'', the corpses of the Ultras in the crashed cruiser can be infected by the [[Flood]]. They will sometimes pick up dropped energy swords lying on the ground. This may seem alarming, but the Flood apparently either do not have animations for the energy sword or are simply not programmed to use it, because they will simply follow the player without attacking. They retain the white-colored armor of the corpses, making them look very distinct from other Flood forms.
| |
| *Contrary to popular belief, the [[BOB]]s in ''Halo: Reach'' have an Ultra variant, though it looks completely identical to the Sangheili Ultra.
| |
| *In ''Halo: Reach'', Ultras, despite being a regular rank, is listed as "Elite Specialist" in the Post-Game Carnage reports.
| |
| *In ''Halo: Reach'' [[multiplayer]], the Ultra Combat Harness is made available after the player reaches the rank of Warrant Officer.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_061110 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 06.11.10 '']</ref>
