Behold! The strongest known creature of the Locust Horde! The Brumak is a walking fortress with firepower that would make a tank seem like a sportscar.

A Brumak can be divided into three parts: the beast itself, the weaponry installed by the Locust Horde and a driver, which suppresses the animal's feral instincts and directs it towards specific targets. As stated above, the creature resembles a Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a distinctly bipedal posture, pronounced muscles and pale skin; its head is partially covered by the same metal mask used on Corpsers, showing multiple eyes. On each wrist, a high-caliber machine gun is capable of firing medium powered shots towards the player, but the most powerful weaponry is stored on the bulky apparatus the creature carries on its back.

The back mounted weapons are a battery of three Rocket Propelled Grenade launchers and a massive, heavy duty chaingun, the latter of which can be fired in conjunction with the wrist-mounted guns, effectively dismembering the player in mere seconds. While using them, though, the Brumak is forced to hunch, in order to give its driver, whose seat is located right behind the chaingun's barrel, proper view of the battlefield.

The wrist mounted weaponry is in fact poorly armored, being easily disabled by assault rifle fire, and even the driver can be shot down, as sustained fire to the beast's legs will make it crumble under its own weight and lie motionless for a few seconds in order to recover. Once the driver has been disposed off, the creature will enter a berserker status, blindly attacking buildings and living creatures alike, and only extreme environemental hazards will ultimately kill it (e.g. coming into contact with active power lines).
