Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Brute

"Ready to crush!"

-Brute

The Brute is the heavy close-range combat infantry of the Collective of Auring.

Overview
The inevitable conclusion of the Archer project to increase muscle mass in humans, the Brute is a heavily mutated human with the strength to rip tanks apart piece by piece, their tough skin capable of withstanding tank shells. Though their low intelligence and focus on melee attacks puts Brutes at a disadvantage against conventional forces, they can become a very real threat when they outnumber their opponents and are potent against slower or immobile enemies.

With the use of Cloning Vats, psychic and regenerative support weapons, Genetic Mutator, or combined with the Stalker's energy drain weapons, Brutes can become a true menace on the battlefield.
