"You're a big guy."
"For you."
Brute Strength is a mutation that boosts Brawn and Wrestle while penalizing Endurance. This mutation is very popular, being an auto-click for most brawn-based builds. It is incompatible with Swollen Brain, and by extension, Empath.
Location
Brute Strength is located in the Sewers, past the Charnold. The Charnold is an early-game miniboss who will attack players if he thinks he can win, but he is very weak. Reaching him requires a little bit of sewer knowledge, though.
Effects
This mutation grants:
Passive: +3 to Brawn Passive: -1 to Endurance Passive: +1 to Wrestle
Advantages
- +3 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 grab and headbutt casts.
- +1 Wrestle. Wrestle only gets +2 in total from mutations (the other being from Hooligan), so this is a nice buff to a useful crowd-control skill.
Disadvantages
- 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.
- -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.
Appearance
This mutation adds the following line to a character's description:
He/She has bulging muscles rippling under his/her skin.
Increasing levels of Brawn also grant more impressive messages when using the flex emote.
