The Brawler — GUNTOUCHABLES Walkthrough

Embrace the chaos as The Brawler in GUNTOUCHABLES. Master melee combat, high aggression, and devastating close-quarters power.

For those who thrive in the thick of combat, the Brawler archetype in GUNTOUCHABLES embodies raw power and relentless aggression. This build focuses on closing the distance, overwhelming opponents with brutal melee attacks, and shrugging off damage that would fell lesser mercenaries.

The Brawler is a close-quarters combat specialist. Their effectiveness hinges on high Strength and Constitution attributes, which dictate melee damage, health, and resistance to incoming attacks. The gameplay loop for a Brawler involves charging into enemy formations, utilizing powerful melee weapons like hammers, axes, or reinforced fists, and employing combat abilities that enhance their offensive or defensive capabilities in close proximity. They are the frontline of any engagement, drawing enemy fire and creating openings for their allies (or themselves) to exploit. While they excel at taking and dishing out damage up close, they can be vulnerable to ranged attacks if not managed carefully.

Key elements of The Brawler build:

• Primary Attributes: Strength for melee damage and Constitution for survivability.
• Weapon Focus: Heavy melee weapons (Hammers, Axes, Maces), Reinforced Gauntlets, and potentially Shotguns for close-range bursts.
• Key Skills: Melee Combat, Fortitude, Adrenaline Rush, and abilities that grant temporary damage resistance or lifesteal.
• Cyberware: Reinforced skeletal structures, subdermal armor, and combat stimulators.
• Armor: Heavy or medium armor that provides high damage resistance and potentially melee damage bonuses.

A typical Brawler encounter might involve them charging headfirst into a group of scavengers in the Industrial Zone. They would activate an ability like 'Rage' to increase their attack speed and damage, then proceed to cleave through enemies with a heavy two-handed hammer, such as the 'Demolisher'. If they sustain heavy damage, they might use a 'Ground Slam' ability to stagger nearby foes and create space, or rely on a cybernetic implant that grants temporary invulnerability. The goal is to be the unstoppable force, wading through enemy ranks and leaving a trail of destruction. While they might struggle against snipers or enemies that can kite effectively, their sheer offensive pressure and resilience make them a terrifying opponent in close quarters. They are also invaluable for breaking through enemy lines and disrupting formations.

To master The Brawler:

1. Aggressive Playstyle: Don't be afraid to get into the thick of it.
2. Prioritize Melee Weapons: Invest in the best blunt or bladed weapons you can find.
3. Manage Adrenaline/Stamina: Use your combat abilities strategically to maximize their impact.
4. Utilize Environmental Hazards: Smash through explosive barrels or push enemies into dangerous areas.
