The Brute :: Final Release
- Thread starter Hemi
- Start date
Remember duke, he's only as strong as he is on our servers due to the amount of extra players.
Man, don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. It's not about making the Brute easier, it's about making him fit better into KF if WPC really wants it white-listed, or even adopted into the official game.
In KF, everything has a Burning / Panic animation (except maybe Sirens?...). The point is, Scrakes and Fleshpounds have them and usually it actually makes them harder to kill when they do it (because of erratic movement), but it buys time to reload if needed.
As for Stuns, I already said the balance of it would come from determining what causes the Stun animation. Again, the fact is most every enemy has a Stun of some sort. As far as I know, the FP does not have a true stun but he does have to stop & yell when he rages, and has a break in between his rages. The Brute technically does take a break from his rages, sometimes, but it seems like he never stops raging if he's still hitting people. Even the FP doesn't do that. If he's raging and destroying people, he'll still calm down on his own. The Scrake's rage won't end, but he can at least be stunned. There is a balance present.
Edit: If I have to get into the job of suggesting what would cause the Stun, I would think a Berserker landing a Fire Axe to the head probably deserves the stun. You could make a crossbow do it too, but I think that would be unnecessary. It'd be more fun seeing Berserkers practice their melee ambushes on some Brutes.

The part before the period is the package name, so it should be "KFBruteFinal_014.ZombieBrute".
Finally got around to installing and playing with brutes - THEY R AWESOME!! the scrapyard map is pretty fun too - why isn't i whitelisted?
yah, i noticed it was grey - i did a quick run on beginner difficulty and didn't find any obvious exploits, so i wondered if it was in the works. I'm happy to hear that it is
Its not a FP replacement, its an entirely new custom monster; it has its own behavior and stats, and FPs still spawn.
And I'm pretty sure I've seen the two mutators used together, but don't take my word for it.
as far as i know, its spawned a couple brutes on every map i play in solo (with the mut on, of course) so i think its coded into the wave spawn mechanism, not the map itself. but i don't really know how that all works.
Ohh thanks.
Btw great mutator!
Another question:
Is brute spawns in all maps or I need new specific brute monster maps?
yeah, its coded into the monsters spawns and not onto any specific map, so as long as you have the mutator activated, they will spawn, no matter the map (and yes, that includes custom and community-made maps as well
)I want to thank you for taking the time to create this addition to the game.
Any idea what servers I can find the Brute on?
