Brute

Brute
Brutes are a Chimeran strain that are quite likely the direct predecessor to the Ravager seen in Resistance 2. They are featured in Resistance Retribution, and are first introducted in Luxembourg when one of them kills two Maquis soldiers that are trying to close shut a metal door. They wield what seems to be an IWAO-R Chaingun and they are most often spotted in the company of advanced hybrids, but two Brutes can also show up on the scene at once.

Tactics
Brutes pack a lot of firepower, and being exposed for too long while fighting them can result in a quick death. It is therefore recommended to take cover when they show up on the scene and either make use of the Fareye's secondary fire to slow time and score a few headshots, or fire away at them from behind your cover with your Auger. Shooting them with a LAARK generally results in a one hit kill, but you might want to conserve your LAARK's ammo for more difficult opponents. Brutes will often advance on your position if you don't shoot them, so it's best to keep them busy. If they get too close, the fire from their chaingun is even deadlier.
