Brute Guard

Brute Guard is one of many different mutations that can be found in Infested Planet.
== Description ==
Slow, tough brute aliens will now defend enemy positions.
Hives produce brutes instead of bugs when marines are nearby.
== Planetary Campaign ==
Aliens created to defend hives change to brutes
Brutes move slower and are much harder to kill than normal. They also do more damage if they melee you. When brutes die, they leave a bony barrier that obstructs your fire.
=== Suggested Counters ===
* FLAMETHROWERS quickly burn through brutes
* GRENADES and CLUSTER BOMBS can clear mid-map areas
* MINEFIELDS, FLAK CANNONS and MORTARS work for defense
