==Description==
[[File:Brute_Ratings.png|thumb|227px]]

The '''Brute''' is a heavy class, capable of both defense and [[Tribes: Ascend/Heavy Offense|Heavy Offense]]. Equipped with a [[Tribes: Ascend/Heavy Spinfusor|Heavy Spinfusor]], [[Tribes: Ascend/Gladiator|Gladiator]], or [[Tribes: Ascend/Devastator Spinfusor|Devastator Spinfusor]], he can deal massive damage to his enemies at medium range. If an opponent does get too close, a shot from the [[Tribes: Ascend/Automatic Shotgun|Automatic Shotgun]] or [[The Hammer]] can quickly eliminate them. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Plasma Cannon|Plasma Cannon]] is also a viable option if used in the right hands. The Brute has to be creative when standing on the flag ([[Tribes: Ascend/Heavy on Flag|HoF]]), since he will have mid-air shots, body blocks and his grenades to deter incoming foes. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Nova Colt|Nova Colt]] is a powerful replacement for the shotguns; better suited for longer range damage and ideal for finishing off opponents.

Some of this class' favorite weapons are the powerful (and widely popular) [[Tribes: Ascend/Fractal Grenade|Fractal Grenade]]s and [[Tribes: Ascend/Extended Fractal Grenade|Extended Fractals]]. The Fractal Grenade deals damage to an area over time and can be deadly indoors. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Extended Fractal Grenade|Extended Fractal Grenade]], though dealing slightly less damage, has effects that last longer and are better suited for area denial. Brutes have another belt option as well; the [[Tribes: Ascend/Light Sticky Grenade|Light Sticky Grenade]] allows the Brute to deal a large amount of damage to the enemy base. Though these grenades are often overshadowed by the [[Tribes: Ascend/Infiltrator|Infiltrator's]] [[Sticky Grenades]], they are still able to wreck havoc on enemy [[Tribes: Ascend/Generator|generator]]s, [[Tribes: Ascend/Base Turret|base turrets]], and [[Tribes: Ascend/Radar Sensor|radar]].

A '''Brute''' can choose between the [[Tribes: Ascend/Energy Pack|Energy Pack]], providing him with more maneuverability, the [[Tribes: Ascend/Shield Pack|Shield Pack]], absorbing more damage and keeping himself alive longer, or the [[Survival Pack]], which gives is a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, increasing health by 200, run speed by 25% and increasing energy regeneration by 15%.
==Skins==

The '''Brute''' currently has the following skin(s):

==Tactics==

===Recommended [[Tribes: Ascend/Perks|Perks]]===
Perk Slot 1

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Ultra Capacitor 1|Ultra Capacitor 1 ]]'''''is a great perk considering that you have only 85 maximum energy, and have a shield pack that is powered off of it. A higher energy cap means that you will be a little bit safer. Not a necessary choice if you have the [[Tribes: Ascend/Energy Pack|Energy Pack]] equipped.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunter]] '''''is also a great perk to have'' ''if you like spending your Credits for your Team's Benefit. Since you deal a large amount of damage, you will earn more credits much faster.

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Safety Third|Safety Third]]''''' gives you extra fractal grenades and sticky grenades.

Perk Slot 2

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Survivalist|Survivalist]]''''' on the Brute has to be one of the best combinations in the game. With the full upgrade you get 20% of your health back, and 40% of your energy, meaning even more effective health. This allows you to stay in the fight for longer than any other class. No other perks synergize this well.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Potential Energy|Potential Energy]]''''' Many weapons (those most commonly used) in Tribes: Ascend have aoe and taking a direct hit is far less common than taking their splash damage. If you plan to have a shield pack active, this perk will make it last longer. Unlike survivalist, this does not require you to go searching for ammo drops but won't heal you either.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Egocentric|Egocentric]] '''''It is difficult not to get hit by your own fractal grenades and other explosives while fighting indoors. If this becomes too much of a problem, use this perk. This perk is also useful when trying to get to the base or retreat faster.

==Trivia==
*Brutes who throw many [[Tribes: Ascend/Fractal Grenade|Fractal Grenade]]s are sometimes referred to "Disco Brutes". This "Disco" can grow if you are using the [[Tribes: Ascend/Gladiator|Gladiator]] and change color if you are using the [[Tribes: Ascend/Extended Fractal Grenade|Extended Fractal Grenade]]
