Brute Sarco
Overview
The Brute Sarco is a large carnivore variant of the Sarco, distinguished by its enhanced strength and resilience. It possesses the ability to be carried by larger creatures, enabling unique transport strategies in combat or resource hauling. This dino excels in structural damage and can be used effectively in raids or defensive pushes when deployed from aerial carriers. It can be carried by Tusoteuthis for surprise underwater assaults or repositioning in aquatic zones.

Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Brute Sarco yields Hide, Raw Meat, and Raw Prime Meat. The Hatchet is the best tool for harvesting Hide, while the Pick increases Raw Meat yield. For Raw Prime Meat, using a Dino (Prime) source provides the highest quantity.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 40%~21~17 hits | 60%~32~13 hits | |
| 60%~24~17 hits | 40%~16~13 hits | |
| 3%~1~17 hits | 2%~1~13 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Damage Resistances
The Brute Sarco takes +200% damage from spike walls, making them extremely effective for defense. It also suffers +120% damage from Instant HurtDinos, such as explosive charges or certain environmental hazards. Conversely, it is fully resistant to Mining Drill Harvest damage, rendering such tools useless against it. It takes +55% damage from melee attacks that deal Metal-tier damage, and +50% from explosions and certain double-damage melee sources. However, it resists melee attacks with projectile impact effects and small ranged turret damage by 50%.
