Therefore, you need to explore the Grasslands with caution, especially when following glowing fairies on the borders of other biomes. Things get more serious when you start travelling through snowy or deserted areas.

- Brute - Can be found in the Shores biome.
- Sand Brute - Can be found in the Dry Valley biome.
- Frost Brute - Can be found in the Frostlands biome.
How to beat Brute in LEGO Fortnite
Before swinging your sword at the Brute, it's worth getting familiar with its attack patterns so you know when to time your own offensive actions to perfection:
- Normal Attack - The enemy strikes with its paw in front of it.
- Charged Attack - The creature starts running at you, destroying everything along the way.
- Acid Attack - The enemy shoots acid at you. When it hits the ground, it creates a small pool of poison for a short time. This attack has the longest range.
- Shockwave Attack - The creature hits the ground with both hands, releasing a shockwave in a straight line. The attack has a medium range.
While each of these attacks can easily kill you, dodging them is fairly easy if you keep your distance. The best strategy for defeating the Brute is ranged combat. All you need is a lot of arrows and a good Crossbow. We recommend that you use at least a Rare Crossbow for maximum impact.
Also, you will need equipment that will increase your Defence and Health. Even if you don't get hit by Brute attacks, you can easily run into other mobs during the battle which is where additional Defence comes in handy.
Lastly, bring some friends with you. It will make the battle with the Brute much more fun and you will save a lot of time, since shooting the boss with a Crossbow isn't the fastest of attacks.
That's all there is to defeating the Brute in LEGO Fortnite. This boss is strong, but unless you get hit by its attacks, it is not a serious threat. Plus, it is a source of a valuable resource called Brute Scales, so you will have to kill at least a few of them if you're after a lot of scales.
