You need a perfect physical specimen to inspire you!
Brute Strength is a mutation that provides a significant boost to the Brawn stat, while penalizing a point in Endurance. Brute Strength is mutually exclusive with Swollen Brain, and thus cannot be taken alongside it.
Location
Brute Strength is located in the Sewers. Players will have to locate and kill the Charnold in order to find this mutation. After killing the king of the Chuds, players will be able to proceed to where the mutation is located.
Effects
Passive: +3 Brawn Passive: +1 Wrestle Passive: -1 Endurance
Advantages
- +3 Brawn. This mutation provides a +3 bonus to Brawn. There are only three mutation bonuses to Brawn, and the other two are both racials: Abomination and Vampire. This is the only universal brawn boost. +3 equates to +1.5 in any skill that depends on Brawn, more damage scaling on all brawn-scaling weapons, more gun speed, and stronger headbutts.
Disadvantages
- -1 Endurance. This is a significant penalty, thanks to the usefulness of the Endurance stat, but for brawn builds it is an acceptable sacrifice for +3 Brawn.
- Incompatible with Swollen Brain. Most builds take one or the other of these two; taking Brute opens up the top levels of Brawn, but locks out the top levels of Brains. It is also impossible to be an Empath with Brute Strength.
Appearance
Player groans as their muscles begin to thicken, their bulk inflating disgustingly, until the swelling suddenly stops.
This mutation adds the following line to a character's description:
They have bulging muscles rippling under their skin.
