Brute

Description

The Brute is a hevy class, capble at both defending and attacking. Equipped with a Heavy Spinfusor, he can really dish out the damage on to his fes. If an opponent does get too close a clip from the Automatic Shotgun can quikly eliminate them. This clas also has powerful Fractal Grenade that can cause hvoc for the enemy. The Brute has to be creative when standing on the flag (HoF), since he will have mid-air shots, body blocks and his grenades to deter incoming foes. The Nova Colt is a powerful replcement for the Automatic Shotgun btter suited for longer range damage, and ideal for finishing off opponents. a Brute can choose between the Energy Pack, providing him with more maneuverability, or the Shield Pack, absorbing more damage and keeping himself alive longer. The Brute has powerful blt options as well, the Light Sticky Grenade allows the Brute to eal a large amount of dmage to the enemy base. Though these grenades are often overshadowed by the Infiltrator's Sticky Grenades, they are still able o wreck havoc on enemy generators, urrets, and radar.

Tactics

Recommended Perks

Perk 1

  • Ultra Capacitor 1 is a great perk considering that you have only 85 maximum energy, and have a shield pack that is powered off of it. A higher energy cap means that you will be a little bit safer.
  • Safety Third gives you extra super scary fractal grenades. That's about all that needs to be said.

Perk 2

  • Bear Grills on the brute has to be one of the best combinations in the game. With the full upgrade you get 20% of your health back, and 40% of your energy, meaning even more effective health. This allows you to stay in the fight for longer than any other class. No other perks synergize this well.
