Only 4 Enhanced Brutes are encountered between Dead Space and Dead Space 2 (including one in Severed). A Contact Beam puts down the creature in just 4-5 shots to the armpits. They are much stronger than their normal counterparts and can take more damage, but still can be easy to put down with the right choice of weaponry and planning. They differ from those encountered in the first game.Įnhanced Brutes, like every other Enhanced Necromorph variant, are dark in their appearance with glowing red-yellowish eyes. The first one in the train before the crash and it is unusually weak, the second one in the Transport Hub and the third and fourth one in the tram tunnel of the USG Ishimura. In Dead Space 2, four of them are encountered. One is confronted in the Main Atrium, the second one in Ship Systems, and the final one in the East Grow Chamber. Three normal Brutes appear in Dead Space. The normal variant can easily put down the player in just two hits on higher difficulties, so be careful! They also get a slight appearance change in Dead Space 2, with their textures changed to be a bit darker and parts like the head being more symmetrical, a trait of possible evolution within the Necromorphs or just an outcome of different hosts.ĭespite its size and strength, they can be easy to put down by targeting the yellow weakspots in the armpit or the back when the creatures stops charging or retracts into a defensive ball.

It appears black, and is much stronger, requiring more ammunition to take down. Like many Necromorphs, the Brute has an Enhanced form. If one or both of the legs are severed, the Brute will be rendered completely immobile, but will actually resort to lobbing organic bombs from an otherwise rarely exposed hole in its belly. This can be used as an advantage, for the back of the creature is still exposed and ripe for being blasted, and when combined with Stasis, serious damage can be done before the creature recovers.
When attacked on the weak spots, the Brute will contract within its armored plates to protect itself. They are easily identified by their comparatively bright yellow coloration. There are, however, specific weak spots just before the shoulder joints, and towards the back along both rear legs.

The Brute bursts out these projectiles when its limbs are severed, not being able to attack properly.ĭespite its heavy armor, the Brute is also quick for its size, able to even acrobatically leap through objects such as on the roof, similar to a gorilla or any ape. The chest is a sack where the Brutes produce highly explosive organic material, made from the similar material as the yellow weakspots as well as a hole in the middle of the chest. Its posterior is relatively unarmored, and from it sprouts a pair of vestigial arms used for support if one of its main arms is cut off. The Brute is almost entirely encased in an armored, spiked exoskeleton made from bone and calcified skin. A normal variant of a Brute in the original Dead Space.
