The Brute Splicer is a type of Splicer in BioShock 2 and has its own unique model. Brute Splicers are the result of splicing the leftovers of Sports Boost and Armored Shell Gene Tonics, a cocktail first invented by Leo Hartwig and tested on himself. This type of Splicer seems to have absorbed more ADAM than the average Splicer, as denoted by their abnormal size and musculature. They have much more health and brute force than normal Splicers, and as such are harder to take down. There are three types of Brute Splicers: normal, Elite Brute Splicers, and Fiery Brute Splicers, which are only in Minerva's Den.
