How to unlock the Brute Juke achievement in Dead Space 2 - Definitive Guide

Very Very Easy way, at any difficulty level !!
In the chapter 10 "same area in the video post by UndertakerAndre" when the brute jump out, just run back to the door !! the brute can not cross the door so he turn back and you can shot him in the front and in the back with your favorite weapon !! enjoy

I don't know if this was pure luck, but on your first easy playthrough just stasis it once, shoot a detonator straight at his shoulder, instant death.

The first brute appears in the transport hub in chapter 6. He will jump down into the arena-like area with you and start to perform charge attacks. Face him head on, and then as he begins to charge you, run toward him but an angle to one side or the other so that you pass each other. Wheel around and stasis the brute from behind and begin blasting the knee joint on one of his legs.

When it gives out he will get up and start shooting exploding organic bombs at you from his chest. Catch the first bomb with telekinesis and fire it back at him. While he is stunned switch to the line gun and shoot its alt-fire mine at his feet. From here just continue to play pitch and catch with the bombs and replace the line gun mine at his feet whenever it detonates. He will not move anymore and, as long as you don't fail to catch one of his bombs, cannot damage you.

If you're struggling with the bombs use more stasis to reduce the number of bombs he can launch in the time it takes to kill him. If you get hit by a charge attack during the first stage, restart the checkpoint, which will be just prior to his jumping into the transport hub.

Good solution man, I was going to point out that there is one of those "stasis bombs" behind you when the Brute drops. It lasts ages and is a big help in saving your own stasis

Thumbs Up! Only thing I'd change is that I ran sideways when he charged. It also may be beneficial to add that he cannot charge through the pillars on the outside. I was able to use the alt-fire mines as you stated, but didn't bother to catch the bombs he throws at you, I just ducked behind cover to avoid the damage. Thanks!

Alternately, you can use the Javelin Gun. Its electrical alt-fire (if improved a little) is fairly powerful, and you don't even have to worry about hitting the weak spots. Don' forget to use stasis.

But yes, Chapter 6 is where I got the cheev, as well.

On level 6 on easy drop 3 mines in close proximity to one another, about the width of the brute stand behind them he charges at you through the mines he dies straight away job done.

Chapter 13

I personally think that this would be the easiest brute to get the achievement on. You hopefully have upgrades to some guns and your stasis module.

You will be in a large rectangular room at the very tell end of the level (comes after fighting a large number of guys on the two catwalks above this room.)

There is a BLUE STASIS container in the room. When the brute attacks, launch the container at it. He will now be frozen for what seems like half a minute(exact duration of container unknown to me)

Using the detonator mines, launch them at the brutes feet. should take 6-8 mines without upgrades and 3-4 mines fully upgraded. either way this brute can be killed before it regains movement. if it does come out of stasis, one blast from your stasis module should give you enough time to launch the last mine(s).

alternatively: use 4-5 contact beam shots to one arm.

should work great, however if you NEED to give a negative vote, please explain your reason, so i can post better solutions in the future. Thanks

Location: Chapter 06, Transport Hub
Difficulty: Any (Zealot relates to this strategy)
Weapon used in this strategy: Ripper (No upgrades - it will do surprisingly great)
Ammunition: About five Ripper Blades (Number relates to upgrade state)
Statis Packs: 0-3 (only one needed if Stasis is fully upgraded; None needed when Stasis Canister is used)

Strategy: Move in front of the Brute and get into combat with it. In combat use Stasis on it (about only five times). Cut on the yellow infected flesh of its body continually until one limb is off. Yeah, it is dead - and that efficiently brought down!

Alternative use of Stasis: A special Stasis Canister can be found in this area (To the right of CEC door). Target will remain frozen for 57 seconds on hard contact.

Additional chances: In Chapter 10 you will encounter two more Brutes. In Chapter 13 you will also encounter one Brute in single combat. You may be even more powered up and even greater equipped when you are there. This may leave you another, and more simplified options of accomplishing this.

Why make this any harder than it needs to be, if all you care about is getting the cheevo?

I was playing on Zealot and was getting tagged at least once in the fight. So drop the difficulty down to easy.

As mentioned in the other guides do this in chapter 6 when you meet Ellie again , this is right after the school.

Now if you have some detonators quickly mine from the back where he jumps down to the door where you entered and stay there and let him charge, he will run right at you and through the mines ;) 3 or 4 should take him down before he is even close to you.

As insurance stasis him and blast him from range between mines.

I was also able to take him out just using stasis and javelin's and it's alt fire shock think before he got to me.

Remember this is just to get the achievement, so quit to the menu and reload if you were playing on zealot !!!!!!!

On Easy, Chapter 6, all you have to do is stasis him the second he lands, shoot the alt-fire from the line gun at his feet, if he starts to come out of stasis use it again to re-freeze. The mine will go off at his feet, he will be dead, and the achievement will pop. Simple as that.

You 1st encounter the brute in chapter 6 from the beginning to here you should be a few power nodes from having fully upgrades plasma cutter, use the stasis canister when its charging get behind it and 3 shots to the leg and stasis again a few more to the arm and you should be done also EASY diffculty will help.

Got this one in the Severed DLC without even trying, at the beginning of Chapter 2 a brute will smash through a door, I lit it up with the flamethrower(which i'd been upgrading with power nodes the whole time)as soon as it busted through and it died pretty quick.

You will have your first real fight with a Brute in Chapter 6 when you meetup with Ellie and Thross. He walks around with his two huge hands like a Gorilla (not to be confused with a Tripod!), has a running charge attack and his weakspots are the 2 areas between his left and right shoulders and body. Focus on 1 area only, wait for him to charge, run sideways then turn around and Stasis him and use the Plasma Cutter, Line Gun, or better yet a charged Primary attack from the Contact Beam. Once you break one of his limbs the fight becomes much easier as you can then stand from afar, wait for him to spit one of the mines and use Kinesis to grab it and throw it back, otherwise finish him with your gun. Be careful not to any damage during the fight, restart from last checkpoint if you do.

If you missed this opportunity, there are 2 more encounters in Chapter 10, one after the other, and a final encounter in Chapter 13.

You will encounter your first Brute at the end of Chapter 6 in the "Transport Hub". This turns out to be extremely easy to complete on casual. Grab the stasis canister in the room and wait for Ellie and Stross to finish talking on the balcony above you. The Brute will jump down near the Transport Hub sign. Launch the stasis canister at the Brute and use your plasma cutter to dismember one of the Brute's arms. The arm should fall off before he even exits stasis. Once the arm is off, the Brute no longer charges, but will spit bombs out of its chest. Hit it with your own stasis and shoot off the other arm. Even easier, the Brute can be killed in one shot on lower difficulties with the Line Gun's alt-fire. Hit him with the stasis canister and then plant the mine at his feet. If he starts to come out of stasis, hit him with your own stasis and bam, one shot kill.

A simple trophy. Use stasis and shoot the yellow areas of the Brute, and keep your distance from him.

The easiest way: place contact mines on the Brute’s path, 6 minutes and he’s dead.)) can be done in 5 seconds, just don’t forget to slow down.

Chapter 10 Pumped power cutter. Altogon throws him into stasis and then 2 shots into the abscesses and Brutus is dead. Well, or stasis and absolutely any powerful gun.

My friends, there is a very simple way to take down a Brute without wasting much ammo and health. In general, we take him into stasis and shoot him in the leg; a sniper rifle is best. The leg will quickly fly off, and the Brute will fall, and you move to a far distance and wait for him to throw some kind of crap from his stomach at you, you catch this crap with kinesis and throw it back. After you have shot off his leg, Brute will not crawl, he will stand still and throw a spherical bomb at you.
