Editing Brute (section)

== Extermination ==
Have players focus on a Brute upon its appearance within a mob.  Removing a potential high threat will allow the players more time to recover when the mob reaches the group.  

In the event it is encountered along with a Scrake and/or Fleshpound, eliminate in the following sequence: Brute, Fleshpound, Scrake.  This is for reasons of how quickly each specimen can reach the players.

Berserker and Sharpshooter are weakest against the Brute – but when working together the Berserker can turn the Brute so the back of the Brute's head is opened to the Sharpshooter.
This is even easier when slowed by fire.
A balanced perk spread across an assembled team is also a good way to defeat him – too many Sharpshooters will not be effective.
The more members on a team increases the Brute's health just as it would a Fleshpound; this ensures he has enough health to throw players around before he is killed.
