For example, you can't expect your Pulse shield to knock abroad the massive Brute — it'south simply too beefy.

The Vortex Grenade, when picked up, grants you lot ii uses of Vortex. Vortex creates a swirling, uh, vortex wherever the grenade lands. This vortex can vacuum up smaller enemies, dragging them into the center dealing periodic damage the entire fourth dimension before a final explosion sets off, dealing more damage. This is an excellent Horde clearing grenade — and at that place doesn't announced to be a difficult cap to the number of units it can affect.

Yet, this grenade does not touch Brutes. Over again, Brutes are just too large to movement around or be affected by things like Vortex, Pulse, and Shield effects. Vortex can bear upon some of the smaller specialty aliens like Gooper and Grabber, but considering they are highly mobile, and Vortex has a very small window where the effect works, you may not exist able to striking them with it reliably.
