Brutes are a Chimeran strain that is exclusively featured in Resistance: Retribution.

Description

An apparent predecessor of the Ravager, the Brute strain were created sometime after the Chimeran occupation of Europe. The Brutes were deployed across Western Europe during the events of Operation Overstrike. Brutes are first seen participating in the siege of the Maquis Fortress in Luxembourg.

Strategy

  • 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 FR-1's secondary fire to slow time and score a few headshots, or fire away at them from behind cover with the Auger WS. *Shooting Brutes with a LAARK generally results in a one hit kill, but it is recommend for the player to conserve the LAARK's ammo for more difficult opponents.
  • Brutes are often accompanied by Advanced Hybrids, which can serve to distract the player from targeting the Brutes.
  • The HE .44 Magnum, grenades, and XR-004 Allure are excellent use against them. Brutes will often advance on the player's position if the player does not shoot them, so it's best to keep them occupied. If they get too close, the firepower from their chaingun is even deadlier.
  • If the player have unlocked the Longbow 1S-1K, an overcharged shot from this weapon to a Brute's head will usually result in, as the weapon's name implies, a one-shot kill.
