"As mentioned previously, when not leading lesser Covenant forces, Brutes tend to congregate in packs of 4-6 individuals; the rank of each Brute, the number of each rank and the weaponry with which they are equipped varies with the difficulty being played. Often, these packs will consist of one Brute Captain, 1-2 Brute Majors and 2-3 Brute Minors. It can be twice that many if there is a Brute Chieftain in command nearby, with his Jiralhanae Bodyguards adding to the numbers as well."@en . "Jiralhanae/Gameplay"@en .

When patrolling, Brutes exhibit considerably less tactical awareness than Elites, allowing the player to often get the drop on them when the Brutes are not aware of them. In these situations, Brutes exhibit a sense of calm, confident that there is no imminent threat and some have been found testing captured Human weaponry whilst in this relaxed state. On the other hand, it may be noted that as the Brutes are dishonourable, their lack of a code of honour enables them to tactically think outside-the-box more than the Elites. However whether the Brutes are very good at that, is another thing altogether."@en .
