Bruisers

Official Description
"Although the origin of their mutations is uncertain, those descendants of the nuclear fallout survivors suffer a peculiar condition which causes uncontrollable muscle growth, leading to greatly increased strength, but also causing the tissue to rip through the skin as the victim grows. Constant muscle regeneration also involves increased need for nutrients, which prompts those brutes to often battle each other over scarce of food resources. Bruisers are rarely smarter than an average leper, although some of them, apart from grunting and growling, are capable of constructing simple sentences, mostly consisting of sneers and threats to scare off humans.

''Being simple folks, they also developed a simple cult - most of them worships Spice Gods, whose blessing is believed by mutants to be earned by proving strength in combat. The bigger and stronger one is, the more respected he is within the mutant community, as he is believed to have been gifted by the Spice Gods themselves."''

Bruiser Types
There are currently 4 types of Bruisers. Each one varies in appearance and behavior, from lesser and tribal bruisers to crazed and heavily armored brutes.

These morphs have been removed from the game, following the Bruiser overhaul update. Their appearance now shows them with more greyer skin and being much taller than Humans.
 * Tribal Bruiser
 * Vagrant Bruiser
 * Barbarian Bruiser
 * Psychotic Bruiser

Trivia

 * Bruisers camp out at a unnamed building in the town surrounding the Lone Pylon. It is adorned with mutilated corpses, skeletons hanging on chains, a prison to likely hold human victims as hostage for their sick acts, two upper floors, the one on the left having collapsed due to deterioration of the foundations, and the right one serving as a place where they sleep. The stairs go down into a basement storage area where their Altar for the Spice Gods resides.
 * Bruisers are unlikely to be friendly, seeing as they're too stupid to grasp that concept, and the fact they revolve around violence.
 * They favour bulkier and powerful weapons, like the LMG. Their hideout suggests that they use other weapons like the FAL or the Ripper,
