Citations Activity - Dead Space (Brute)

The Brute is one of the strongest forms of Necromorph that Isaac may encounter. They are heavily armored and require a lot of patience, considering these monsters take a lot of damage before falling.

Strategy

The Brute may charge you on several accounts, dealing a lot of damage (Usually fatal on the Impossible difficulty). Strafing to the side is a simple way of avoiding its charge. Using your Stasis Module may also aid you in dodging his attack, as well as dealing out critical damage to the Brute before he recovers from his charge. The Brute is also in favor of smashing you into the ground; therefore, you should keep your distance. Despite his heavy armor, you may take advantage of the opening on its shoulders. The Plasma Cutter is a great tool for dealing damage to him head-on, so long as your shots are accurate. Don't get too carried away though, or you may not have enough time to avoid his charge. If you happen to take out one of its arms or legs (I've never done this before; therefore, I've never had to worry about this), an opening in its chest will become visible and will unleash exploding pustules upon Isaac. These deadly projectiles can be easily countered using the Stasis Module, and may also be used as a weapon if projected back at the Brute, also conserving ammunition. If you deal enough damage to the Brute, he may stop and curl up in defense, leaving him very vulnerable if you strafe behind him (Or if you're accurate enough, you can assault him right away by shooting the weak points in his shoulders). Be patient and be aware, or you will fall victim to the Brute's wrath.
