Brute
Brutes are big, slow bruisers with a lot of health and heavy hits. They are also among the best loot drops outside bosses.
How to beat the Brute
- Kite them: they are slow, so keep moving and keep shooting.
- Toxic makes them take extra damage from every source; frost barely slows them.
- Brutes drop guns, armour, grenades, turret kits and even Augment Cores more often than regular enemies.
Health and damage by map
Enemies get tougher on harder maps, deeper into each map, and with more players in the squad (see co-op). In the first area of each map:
| Map | Health (solo) | Damage (solo) | Health (4 players) | Damage (4 players) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overgrown Outpost | 165 | 40.8 | 313 | 53 |
| Sunken Ruins | 248 | 55.1 | 470 | 71.6 |
| Obsidian Citadel | 330 | 69.4 | 627 | 90.2 |
An elite Brute (gold ring, from 2 players up) has 1.8× the health and 1.25× the damage, and pays 2.5× the XP and 2× the gold.
Elements
Takes 50% extra damage from Toxic. Takes 50% less from Frost.
