I like Halo. Since you are reading this, you probably do too.

I've been practicing for Endure and for me the most irritating enemies are:

Shield jackals
Buggers
Grav hammer/Fuel Rod Brutes
Hunters

I've been trying to take out the jackals with plasma overcharge/magnum or plasma rife. I've been shredding the bugs with the SMG and the Hunters drop to a rocket, but those stinking Brute Chieftains turn on their invincibility after a rocket and one drop of their hammer and I'm dead!

What I'm trying to say is: What's the best way to take out these enemies (especially those grav hammer/fuel rod Brutes)? Am I doing it right? Have you found a better way than what I am doing?

Thanks for spreading your Endure knowledge especially you kings out there who have already done it. I am in awe.

There are a lot of things you can do.

Overcharge plasma pistol and one human rocket kill any fuel rod/Hammer brute untill the 4th set after that plasma pistol and then what ever human weapon you got.

Jackels are like headshot practice with the automag or SMG works too.

Hunters use stickies, fuel rod/rockets, or if need be shotgun and beatdown.

Buggers its best to stay back and use smg or automag headshot and beatdown the shield ones.

INV me if you want to do endure I have helped a lot of people already.

By the gods what are you doing here, well don't just stand there man make the tea! Make yourself useful and look at my Fileshare.

for a start I wouldn't go it alone, for the chieftans a good backsmack will do the job, you've gotta anticipate their movement, it's possible to even ninja them, if you get on the far stairs, and jump backwards while they leap at you then you can jump over their head and ninja them, or just a bit of teamwork will do the job, one lures while the other backsmacks

Hello! I'm a male!

Shield Jackals: Take them out while they're running before they put there shield down. If they get to put there shield in the way then frag em.

"Buggers" (Actually called Drones): SMG them to death except those red ones with there pesky shields. Take those out with brute plasma rifles.

Gravity Hammer Brute chieftains: Either get extremely good with grenade sticks so you can stick there hammer staff or just solve the problem like a normal brute using a charged plasma pistol shot then magnum/carbine (carbine better) his head. If invincible mode is on you can try an assassination but 9 times out of 10 he'll just turn around and smash you. Also strafing side to side and running back words unloading helps. Try to jump back when he swings. Increases your chances of survival. Also try and fight them around objects that you can run around and jump over the ledges of to help escape the hammer swings.

Fuel Rod Cannon Brute Chieftains: Carbine/Plasma pistol combo. Also keep on the move with shooting and jumping to stay away from there attacks.

Hunters: Rocket launchers work nicely on these bad boys. Maybe use a shotgun up close on there back strafing to the side to dodge there swing around melee attack.

Hope this was helpful. :) My technique is teh pawnzors!

Edit: Oh and guys he's asking for "Endure" tips. That achievement requires 4 players so no duh he'll be doing it coop. >.>
