Safety Information Contents

ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when

exposed to certain visual images, including  ashing lights or

patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no

history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition

that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while

watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including

lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking

or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary

loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness

or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or

striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any

of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children

about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely

than adults to experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced

by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller

television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when

you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or

epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction

Manual contains important health and safety information that you

should read and understand before using this software.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially

front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games,

including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented

during the normal course of gameplay may “burn in” to the screen,

causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all

times, even when video games are not being played.

Similar damage may occur from static images created

when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult

your television owner’s manual to determine if

video games can be played safely on your set. If

you are unable to  nd this information in the

owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or

the manufacturer to determine if video games can be

played safely on your set.

Survival Guide

Guardians of the Confederation

BRUTE FORCE

In the year 2340, cloning technology has made training

and recruiting soldiers obsolete. The future of the

Confederation, of humanity itself, is in the hands of

differently; some are cautious, some aggressive.

Learn how each member acts and use them accordingly.

SHARED INVENTORY If you pick up a medkit or grenade,

single inventory.

FIELD TACTICS

BRUTE FORCE

Getting Started

GRENADES AND INVENTORY Pull the Left trigger to use

the currently selected inventory item. If you have a

grenade selected, you’ll toss a grenade. Aim high to

throw a grenade over obstacles, aim low to hit closer

targets; pull and hold the Left trigger then release

for more distance on your throw.

EQUIP INVENTORY ITEMS Press B to cycle through

and equip inventory items. Press and hold B to see

a list of all inventory equipment (the inventory

is shared by all four characters), using the Left

thumbstick to cycle to the desired choice.

WATCH YOUR HEALTH Retreat if the health bar becomes

too low. Use a medkit from your inventory to restore

health. The squad will use medkits on their own, but

will always leave one for your use.

MONITOR THE STAMINA BAR When the stamina bar

depletes, the character’s special ability terminates.

The less energy you use, the more quickly it

replenishes (for example, avoid running).

WATCH YOUR RADAR Your radar

displays enemy contacts

near your squad’s location

and also the direction

of your objectives.

These are the basic skills you need to get a quick

start in Brute Force

MOVE Move the Left thumbstick in the direction you

want to go.

LOOK Move the Right thumbstick to look around and

select targets with the color-coded reticle. (A red

reticle means you are looking at an enemy target,

green means friendly, and yellow indicates the target

is part of your mission objective.)

PICK UP ITEMS Run over ammo or equipment to pick

it up automatically. Stand next to a weapon and then

press and hold X to switch it with your current

weapon (unless there is a size limitation). Some

characters cannot use certain weapons.

SWITCH BETWEEN CHARACTERS Press the D-pad Up (Tex),

Down (Brutus), Right (Flint), or Left (Hawk) to

select the corresponding character.

GIVE SQUAD COMMANDS Press and hold the D-pad to

pause the game (single-player campaign) and enter

squad mode. Press the D-pad again to choose the

character or characters you wish to issue a command

to, and then press the colored controller button that

corresponds to the order you wish to issue.

SNIPE Certain weapons may be equipped with a sniper

scope. Click the Right thumbstick button to use

the scope. For Flint, a second click of the Right

thumbstick button will zoom in further on some

weapons. Click again to return to normal view.

SPECIAL ABILITY Press the White b button to use

the currently selected character’s special ability.

When the character’s stamina is expended, the special

ability terminates. For more information on special

abilities, see “The Team” on pages 12–15.

BRUTE FORCE

The Team

FLINT

BRUTUS

SPECIES, GENDER Feral, male.

ROLE Shock trooper.

SPECIAL ABILITY

Spirit of Vengar Brutus can call

upon the power of the Feral deity

Vengar. While infused with this

supernatural power, Brutus can charge

his enemies, killing them instantly.

SKILLS

Sense of the Beast He can sense

enemies and traps, and perceive

things others might miss.

Spirit Warrior In Spirit of Vengar mode, Brutus can

regenerate his health, see a creature’s essence, and

become more resistant to damage.

As a warrior, Brutus is a lethal mix of speed, stealth,

and strength. When not pursuing mission goals, he will

typically back up the operatives, working to  ank or

rush an engaged enemy. Brutus picks his  ghts wisely.

He’ll call for help if it’s too much for him to handle,

and retreat if he starts to lose a  ght. However, if

another squadmate is still in the fray, he’ll refuse

to leave. Although he can carry a single heavy weapon,

his weapon of choice is the ri e, and he always has at

least one.

SPECIES, GENDER Human

synthetic, female.

ROLE Sniper.

SPECIAL ABILITY

Advanced Targeting Flint

raises her ri e, ready for

any target to show itself.

While in this mode, Flint

will automatically target any

enemies that are within a wide

area in front of her. Flint

cannot reload while using this

ability, and will drop out of

Advanced Targeting if she runs

out of ammo.

SKILLS

Air Recycling Flint’s synthetic body does not

require air to operate, and she is resistant to

gas-based attacks.

Threat Analysis While in Advanced Targeting mode,

Flint’s enhanced combat abilities display the current

health of the enemy within her sights.

Advanced Sniping Advanced synthetic eye implants allow

Flint to zoom farther with sniper ri es than any other

character, and to take out most combatants with a single,

well-placed headshot.

Flint is a sniper whose augmented abilities give her

lethal accuracy with any weapon. Her preferred weapons

are sniper ri es and pistols. Flint cannot use heavy

weapons. She is supremely con dent in her ability, yet

she is the voice of cynicism. Flint adopts a cautious

hunting style of combat—she prowls close to walls and

tries to position herself high above the enemy, picking

them off with ease.

BRUTE FORCE

The Team

HAWK TEX

SPECIES, GENDER Human, female.

ROLE Scout.

SPECIAL ABILITY

Stealth Hawk can move without making a

sound—she is virtually invisible. She is

dif cult to detect, except when  ring

a weapon; excellent for sneaking behind

enemy turrets and taking them down.

SKILLS

Powerblade Hawk carries a deadly

Powerblade that is designed to

silently eliminate targets. Although

most effective when striking unseen

from behind her target, it can be

used as an assault weapon. Equip and

use the Powerblade as you would an

inventory item.

System Bypass Hawk’s tech skills enable her to bypass

computer and electrical systems that would otherwise

sound alarms.

Awareness Hawk possesses a level of awareness that

allows her to see things that others miss.

Hawk is an adept, careful scout, and believes in

gathering facts before bulldozing in—a tactical style

that sometimes puts her at odds with Tex. Hawk is the

fastest and quietest member of the team. She has the

least armor and cannot carry large weapons.

SPECIES, GENDER Human, male.

ROLE Heavy assault trooper.

SPECIAL ABILITY

Berserker Tex  res both weapons

at once. Tex cannot reload while

using this ability.

SKILLS

Assault Gear Tex uses the heaviest

armor and weaponry of the team.

Explosives Disarmament Tex can

disarm enemy explosives, from

simple explosives and mines to

complex devices.

As an operative, Tex is a bruiser. When left solo in

a  re ght, Tex will methodically seek and destroy.

Nothing pretty about it; he’ll try to outgun anything

he sees. Tex  ghts with ri es, cannons, missiles, and

other heavy weapons. He scorns light weapons and would

rather throw a pistol than  re it.

BRUTE FORCE

Weapons

BALLISTIC WEAPONS

Listed below are some of the weapons you’ll  nd

as you progress in your mission. You may also  nd

weapons or items not listed here.

RAIL CLVR

The rail cannon is a bigger

version of the rail ri e.

FOLEY 356 TACT

The Foley 356 is a sleek,

extremely effective handgun.

FERAL CUTTER

The traditional weapon of

Feral warriors, the cutter

 res razor-sharp discs

at high velocities that

ricochet off objects.

GAS GRENADE

The gas grenade releases a cloud

of poisonous gas when it explodes.

RAIL RVR

Rail technology uses two

parallel copper rails and

an electric current to

launch a projectile at

well beyond Mach 2.

L-SHOT-50

The standard Confed-issue

ballistic ri e  res

high-caliber lead slugs.

RVG50 MINIGUN

The minigun is a miniature

version of a vehicle-mounted

machine gun; as a personal

weapon it is anything

but “mini.”

Some grenades cause more damage than others.

Any grenade is good for softening up the enemy

and taking a few of them down.

FRAG GRENADE

The shrapnel grenade explodes sharp

hot metal shards on the enemy.

Solid projectile weapons dispense damage by  ring

good old-fashioned bullets (or razor-sharp discs)

at high velocity through a muzzle.

GRENADES

Listen to what your squad members are telling you,

especially Hawk and Brutus. They can detect enemies

before they appear onscreen.
