Does anyone have a good t1/ more T2 brutix fix for running l2 and 4 missions

Hey there!

First of all, L4s in a Brutix may be possible, but...it won't be pleasant. A Brutix is perfectly fine for L2 and L3 missions though. You've been asking for a Tech 2 fit, so I'll assume you can use Tech 2 weapons. My suggestion:

Tech 2 CQB Brutix

[Brutix, Brutix PvE Blasters]

Damage Control II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Reactive Armor Hardener
Medium Armor Repairer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II

10MN Afterburner II

Medium Explosive Armor Reinforcer I
Medium Hybrid Burst Aerator I
Medium Ancillary Current Router I


Hornet II x5
Vespa II x5

The idea behind the fit - get in close, shoot things. A Rail Brutix would be possible, too, but those have lower DPS and in PvE you want to blast through things as quickly as you can as you surely know.

So this is the current fit and the few I have seen have webs but I was under the thought that was more for PVP. Now with this current fit, I should be able to do L2 or L3 as far as the drones I can do small tech 1 but not medium. I guess I am asking what do you think of it?

[Koris the Second]

Took a look at your fit. First off, one general issue. You're using two Republic Fleet cap batteries at over 20 million per, you're using a Gistum MWD for about 80 million. Those three modules together woud buy you two Brutix hulls. Take your Tech 2 rigs at almost 20 million per and your fit is way too expensive for what you want to do. Why do you want to fly a 240M ISK fit if an 80M ISK fit will do just as well? I threw out all the bling in my revised fit.

Concering the web - well, in my opinion the fit does not need a web as you have your Light Drones to hit Frigates, and you will have enough tracking to deal with the rest. If you really want one - sure, leave it in. I would use a tracking computer though.

Concerning drones: Don't mix and match your flights. You have 75 m³ of bay space. That's exactly enough for one flight of Light Drones (to deal with Frigates) and one flight of Medium Drones (your main DPS support drones). Caldari drones provide a good balance of firepower, speed and resilience, so I tend to go with those for generalist fits. You can also just replace the Tech 2 drones with faction drones. Don't worry too much about drones on your Brutix, they are not your main weapon system anyway.

Oh, and don't use faction ammo for PvE, especially not for L2 and L3 missions. Way, way too expensive.

Take a look!

thanks, I had to do some more adjusting to make that fit work but it seems to handle L3 just fine so far so mission accomplished thanks again
