*In ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'', the Brute Shot is an effective weapon against the [[Flood]]. A single swipe from the Brute Shot's blade will act almost like a sword lunge, thus destroying a normal unshielded [[Combat Form]] easily. Unlike the Energy Sword however, it has unlimited swings for attacking, but is somewhat slower. Flood are also susceptible to Brute Shot blasts, and the Brute Shot can atomize them from a distance. [[Carrier Form]]s can be taken out efficiently without much to worry. Swarms of [[Infection Form]]s can also be dealt with within 3 blasts. | *In ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'', the Brute Shot is an effective weapon against the [[Flood]].

*In all, the Brute Shot is ideal against Flood, [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] (a single blast usually kills them even if they hide behind their shields), Elites and Brutes. It is also effective against crowds of Grunts, but is of limited use against [[Hunters]] and [[Drones]]. | *In all, the Brute Shot is ideal against Flood, [[Kig-yar|Jackals]] (a single blast usually kills them even if they hide behind their shields), Elites and Brutes.

*Its small ammunition capacity can also be a trouble. However, the Brute Shot is usually for more tactical approaches, such as taking out the biggest threat in a group, and isn't an ideal primary weapon since it has a very limited ammo capacity and rounds per belt. | *Its small ammunition capacity can also be a trouble.
