Brutes in Lego Fortnite are devastating enemies roaming the biomes, and in this guide, I will go over how to find and defeat them.
As of the current version of the game, there are three different Brute variants in the game.
You will need to use the best weapons at your disposal, and different strategies to defeat them.
Let’s dive a little deeper into what is known about these ferocious enemies.
LEGO Fortnite: The Basics of Brutes
In your world, you can find three different variants of Brutes, and all of them have different drop materials for players to get.
| Brute Variants | Brute Materials | Usage | Roaming Biome |
| Brutes | Brute Scale | Crafting Bench Hearty Totem Health Charm Regeneration Charm | Grasslands |
| Sand Brutes | Sand Brute Scale | Cool-Headed Charms Totem of the Immortal | Dry Valley |
| Frost Brutes | Frost Brute Scale | Inner Fire Charm Regeneration Charm | Frostlands |
With a few of the basics down let’s go over who these enemies fight.
All the Brutes share the same attack pattern, with the four same attacks depending on how far the player is compared to their location.
- Swipe Attack: The Brute swings its hands in front of it aiming for the player.
- Dash Attack: The Brute hits its chest four times, and then runs toward the player. It creates a small air current around it that can hit the player.
- Arm Slam: The Brute will stop raising its left arm followed by the right, and then it slams both on the ground. The moment the arms hit the ground three shockwaves will rush forward.
- Ranged Attack: When the player is far away, the Brute will look up, and spit a green ball toward the location of the player. If the player moves from their position after it begins, then the ball will fall where the player stood.
These were the four attacks all the Brute variants share when facing the players.

LEGO Fortnite: Dealing with the Brutes
Let’s go over some tips that will greatly better your chances of winning against these ferocious Brutes. When you go to any fight already prepared the chances of you winning are increased tenfold, and the overall struggle will be minimized greatly.
When preparing to fight the Brutes, you will either need to have a shield or a meal in your off-hand.
Shields will protect you against an attack if you mistimed your dodge, while meals on the other hand can help in the early game to heal up any damage you may receive.
Another thing is that long-range weapons, though not as powerful as melee weapons, can offer a safer way to deal with Brutes. Since you are keeping your distance, you will be able to see attacks coming and react accordingly before having to take damage.
No matter whether you choose to fight melee or with long-range attacks, you should always keep an eye out for other creatures in the area around you. You will end up getting swarmed, and defeating the Brute will become almost impossible.
