Safety Information Contents
ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including  ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentar y loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software.
AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially
front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all
times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to  nd this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

Guardians of the Confederation
BRUTE FORCE
In the year 2340, cloning technology has made training and recruiting soldiers obsolete. The future of the Confederation, of humanity itself, is in the hands of the most skilled warriors of the age-warriors who can  ght to the death and be cloned to battle another day.

differently; some are cautious, some aggressive. Learn how each member acts and use them accordingly.
SHARED INVENTORY If you pick up a medkit or grenade,
remember that all members of your squad share a single inventory.
SWITCHING BETWEEN CHARACTERS Use the D-pad to
change which member of Brute Force you control. Flank your enemies, scout ahead, or simply attack.

BRUTE FORCE
13
The Team
FLINT
BRUTUS
SPECIES, GENDER Feral, male. ROLE Shock trooper. SPECIAL ABILITY
Spirit of Vengar Brutus can call
upon the power of the Feral deity Vengar. While infused with this supernatural power, Brutus can charge his enemies, killing them instantly.
SKILLS Sense of the Beast He can sense
enemies and traps, and perceive things others might miss.
Spirit Warrior In Spirit of Vengar mode, Brutus can
regenerate his health, see a creature’s essence, and become more resistant to damage.
As a warrior, Brutus is a lethal mix of speed, stealth, and strength. When not pursuing mission goals, he will typically back up the operatives, working to  ank or rush an engaged enemy. Brutus picks his  ghts wisely. He’ll call for help if it’s too much for him to handle, and retreat if he starts to lose a  ght. However, if another squadmate is still in the fray, he’ll refuse to leave. Although he can carry a single heavy weapon, his weapon of choice is the ri e, and he always has at least one.
SPECIES, GENDER Human
synthetic, female.
ROLE Sniper. SPECIAL ABILITY
Advanced Targeting Flint
raises her ri e, ready for any target to show itself. While in this mode, Flint will automatically target any enemies that are within a wide area in front of her. Flint cannot reload while using this ability, and will drop out of Advanced Targeting if she runs out of ammo.
SKILLS Air Recycling Flint’s synthetic body does not
require air to operate, and she is resistant to gas-based attacks.
Threat Analysis While in Advanced Targeting mode,
Flint’s enhanced combat abilities display the current health of the enemy within her sights.
Advanced Sniping Advanced synthetic eye implants allow
Flint to zoom farther with sniper ri es than any other character, and to take out most combatants with a single, well-placed headshot.
Flint is a sniper whose augmented abilities give her lethal accuracy with any weapon. Her preferred weapons are sniper ri es and pistols. Flint cannot use heavy weapons. She is supremely con dent in her ability, yet she is the voice of cynicism. Flint adopts a cautious hunting style of combat—she prowls close to walls and tries to position herself high above the enemy, picking them off with ease.

BRUTE FORCE

The Team
HAWK
TEX
SPECIES, GENDER Human, female. ROLE Scout. SPECIAL ABILITY
Stealth Hawk can move without making a
sound—she is virtually invisible. She is dif cult to detect, except when  ring a weapon; excellent for sneaking behind enemy turrets and taking them down.
SKILLS Powerblade Hawk carries a deadly
Powerblade that is designed to silently eliminate targets. Although most effective when striking unseen from behind her target, it can be used as an assault weapon. Equip and use the Powerblade as you would an inventory item.
System Bypass Hawk’s tech skills enable her to bypass
computer and electrical systems that would otherwise sound alarms.
Awareness Hawk possesses a level of awareness that
allows her to see things that others miss.
Hawk is an adept, careful scout, and believes in gathering facts before bulldozing in—a tactical style that sometimes puts her at odds with Tex. Hawk is the fastest and quietest member of the team. She has the least armor and cannot carry large weapons.
SPECIES, GENDER Human, male. ROLE Heavy assault trooper. SPECIAL ABILITY
Berserker Tex  res both weapons
at once. Tex cannot reload while using this ability.
SKILLS Assault Gear Tex uses the heaviest
armor and weaponry of the team.
Explosives Disarmament Tex can
disarm enemy explosives, from simple explosives and mines to complex devices.
As an operative, Tex is a bruiser. When left solo in a  re ght, Tex will methodically seek and destroy. Nothing pretty about it; he’ll try to outgun anything he sees. Tex  ghts with ri es, cannons, missiles, and other heavy weapons. He scorns light weapons and would rather throw a pistol than  re it.

BRUTE FORCE
Weapons
BALLISTIC WEAPONS
Listed below are some of the weapons you’ll  nd as you progress in your mission. You may also  nd weapons or items not listed here.
RAIL CLVR
The rail cannon is a bigger version of the rail ri e.
FOLEY 356 TACT
The Foley 356 is a sleek, extremely effective handgun.
FERAL CUTTER
The traditional weapon of Feral warriors, the cutter  res razor-sharp discs at high velocities that ricochet off objects.
GAS GRENADE
The gas grenade releases a cloud of poisonous gas when it explodes.
RAIL RVR
Rail technology uses two parallel copper rails and an electric current to launch a projectile at well beyond Mach 2.
L-SHOT-50
The standard Confed-issue ballistic ri e  res high-caliber lead slugs.
RVG50 MINIGUN
The minigun is a miniature version of a vehicle-mounted machine gun; as a personal weapon it is anything but “mini.”
Some grenades cause more damage than others. Any grenade is good for softening up the enemy and taking a few of them down.
FRAG GRENADE
The shrapnel grenade explodes sharp hot metal shards on the enemy.
Solid projectile weapons dispense damage by  ring good old-fashioned bullets (or razor-sharp discs) at high velocity through a muzzle.
GRENADES
Listen to what your squad members are telling you, especially Hawk and Brutus. They can detect enemies before they appear onscreen.
FIELD TACTICS
18
BRUTE FORCE
19
Weapons
LASER WEAPONS
MISSILES
ENERGY GRENADE
Because of the energy grenade’s burst effect that can damage multiple opponents, the grenade toss doesn’t require pinpoint accuracy.
Missiles are self-propelled projectiles. Save these powerful weapons for when you need massive destruction and aren’t worried too much about collateral damage.
SWEEPER V MISSILE CANNON
An apparatus that  res standard missiles with a three-meter burst radius.
IKHAN-GPL GRENADE LAUNCHER
The iKhan  res cluster grenades that pepper an area with shrapnel bomblets.
THERM SWEEPER MISSILE CANNON
This missile cannon  res multiple thermalite warheads that can track targets.
Laser weapons are the most commonly used weapons by Confederation warriors. They make little noise and have high accuracy. Laser weapons regenerate their charge, so you won’t run out of ammo!
CONFED LZR-50 LASER CANNON
The laser cannon’s giant beam is large enough to cause serious damage without tremendous noise or recoil.
When using a missile cannon, aim at the ground near the enemies’ feet, rather than attempting a direct hit. The explosion will take out most enemies if you hit your spot.
CONFED LZR-10 LASER PISTOL
Good punch, low noise factor, and minimal recoil make the laser pistol a good stealth weapon.
CONFED LZR-23 LASER RIFLE
The ubiquitous laser ri e is the basic-issue ri e for Confed troops.

ExtrasItems
MEDKIT
A medkit will heal some of the damage you may have taken.
SENTRY BOMB
Equipped with a motion sensor, the sentry bomb explodes when something enters its proximity radius. Tex can disarm sentry bombs.
ROLLING BOMB
The rolling bomb speeds to the nearest enemy target. It will even adjust its trajectory to follow the enemy. The rolling bomb detonates eventually whether it reaches its target or not, but it can follow an enemy around corners.
ORGANIC SENSOR
The organic sensor is a vision aid that will allow the wearer to detect signs of life when visibility is otherwise compromised. Brutus cannot equip the organic sensor.
Press
B
to cycle through and use any of these items from your inventory. Pull the Left trigger to use the equipped item. Listed below are some of the items you may  nd as you play Brute Force
:
GARO FRUIT
Found only on Ferix, the garo instantly cures wounds.
DNA CANISTER
Genome sequences can be found in hidden or protected places throughout the Ulysses system. Collect them to unlock extra characters for deathmatch play!
BRIEFCASE
Edward Kingman’s bribery extends throughout the system. His favorite method of payment is to provide a briefcase full of cash. If you  nd a briefcase, be sure to pick it up because it will increase funding for that mission.
Some items are activated immediately when touched. They may be found in secret or well-defended places. Some of these items include:
PSYCHIC RUBY
Carried by Seer Priests, the psychic ruby contains neurotransmitters and provides a burst of healing to anyone holding it.
MEMORY CHIP
When an operative dies, a memory chip containing the operative’s memories can be recovered from the body to make the cloning process easier and cheaper.

BRUTE FORCE

Enemies
SEER PRIESTS
MUTANTS
EDWARD KINGMAN
FERAL OUTCASTS
SHADOON
CASPIAN SUBVERSIVE MILITIA
The Seer Priests are the overseers of Shadoon’s army of followers. They are tyrants who persistently denigrate the followers, and have no problem with sacri cing others for Shadoon’s cause. These fanatics attack your team on sight with a powerful psychic blast.
Mutants are the downtrodden minority of Caspian. They are bitterly enraged by conditions in their  lthy slums and toxic labor factories. They agitate against the Confed and its agents, set traps, and  ght like cornered rats.
For the past forty years Edward Kingman has dominated trade in the Ulysses system through supplying materials, especially sootrock, to the Ferguson colonists on Caspian. He may be rich, but he’s dirty. If there’s something rotten going on anywhere in the Ulysses system, Kingman is probably in on it.
Outcasts are Feral warriors who have been banished for crimes against the clan. Some are recruited by the Seers, who twist the Outcasts’ minds and bodies with their psychic powers and mind-powered machinery. As minions of the Seers, Outcasts are dangerous and vicious killers, warped to serve Shadoon’s purposes.
Shadoon is a powerful religious  gure among the Seers. He believes he is the messenger of his gods, and that judgment day for the Confederation is due. He is a religious zealot who thinks nothing of murdering his own followers, who gladly give up their lives to act as living batteries for Shadoon’s machinery.
Some members of the Caspian Militia have been corrupted by promises of wealth and power, and now owe their allegiance to Edward Kingman. They are equipped with state-of-the-art Confederation weaponry, and they are well-trained in militia tactics, which makes them both treacherous and deadly.
