*Both Plasma Rifles strip shields better than damaging flesh and armor (and thus, are not as good at eliminating the ''Halo 2'' Brutes as, say, the Battle Rifle), their true value lies in their rate of fire and their ability to stun opponents. In ODST, this ability to take down shields is even more effective, as they can remove a Brute's Energy Shields in a matter of seconds. The brute plasma rifle is also effective against swarms of Drones. | *Both Plasma Rifles strip shields better than damaging flesh and armor (and thus, are not as good at eliminating the ''Halo 2'' Brutes as, say, the Battle Rifle), their true value lies in their rate of fire and their ability to stun opponents.

*A third tactic is to dual wield a Brute Plasma Rifle and a human SMG. This is one of the most powerful combos and can defeat even an Energy Sword wielder. The only disadvantage is that only works at mid-range, and you need some very good aim because if you fail to aim properly, you may be left with an overheated Plasma Rifle and an empty SMG. In order to combat the lack of SMG's in levels with the Brute Plasma Rifle, try dual wielding a Needler with it as well, as these weapons are normally in huge supply on such levels. Also with this way a good aim isn't a necessity as the needles home in on enemies and damage them this means it is more useful for those that can't aim as well so they can remove enemies shields then kill them with the least amount of ammo needed. | *A third tactic is to dual wield a Brute Plasma Rifle and a human SMG.
