Brutes

Brutes are one of several different types of enemies in Infested Planet.
__TOC__
== Description ==
They are larger insects that calcify upon being shot, allowing them to regenerate if left unattended. If not permitted to heal, they can be eliminated with 3-4 hits. When killed, they leave behind a Barrier, becoming and annoyance to deal without area-of-effect weapons such as flamethrowers or grenades.
These types of enemies appear when the Mutation Brute Spawn or Brute Guard are present.
== Countering ==
The best type of weapon to counter these kind of enemies, are area-of-effect weapons, such as the flamethrower or grenades.
Originating from Brute Guard or Brute Spawn mutations, and occasionally from protohives, brutes can be treated similarly to regular bugs, though their increased resilience makes them harder to handle. Riflemen, even with Grenades, are prone to being overwhelmed by brutes. The countermeasures against brutes mirror those against regular bugs, requiring emphasis on flamers, shotgunners, minefields, and comparable strategies.
