"Technology taken from the Kell's Scourge. Another splintered house, united under Eramis."

— Variks, the Loyal

Brigs are bipedal war machines used by the Fallen. The first to be encountered was Insurrection Prime, which was used to invade the Last City and break into the Black Armory for the Kell's Scourge.

Sometime after the death of their leader, former members of the Scourge joined the House of Salvation and shared their design for mass production. Brigs feature prominently across Europa, with these new models having engine cores similar to Fallen Walkers. They would eventually be adopted by the remnants of the House of Dusk.

History

Origin

During a secret incursion to occupy a desolate district of the Last City, the Kell's Scourge stole phase technology from the Black Armory's vault and integrated it with their own Fallen technology by kitbashing a Walker mech and a Prime Servitor together to create the war machine Insurrection Prime as the first of its kind.

In response, the Vanguard dispatched a fireteam to raid the Scourge's occupied territory, securing the vault and destroying the war machine.

Beyond Light

Following a few years since Insurrection Prime's appearance and rampage, inferior but mass-produced copies of it began appearing under the banner of Eramis, the newly proclaimed Kell of Darkness. Identified as Brigs, they were sourced from remnants of the Kell's Scourge syndicate who had joined Eramis's House Salvation. The majority of these war mechs appear to be smaller versions in comparison to Insurrection Prime. The smaller versions of these war machines are labeled Brigs while the much larger variants - similar in size to Insurrection Prime - are labelled Commodores.

Though the production of Brigs on Europa has been compromised multiple times by Vanguard operations, the plans for these machines would still manage to slip out of the icy moon, and be adopted by other grops of Fallen across the Sol System.

Gameplay

Brigs are a dangerous and challenging opponent to face on the battlefield, both with their high durability and arsenal of weapons to hammer Guardians with. They are equipped with the same weapons as the Insurrection Prime; a pair of front-mounted Arc Electrocution Bolt turrets, an arm Death Cannon that fires Void blasts, a retractable launcher to bombard players with volleys of missiles from above and an Annihilation Blaster mounted on the other side, which can deal tremendous Solar damage and can potentially kill a Guardian in a single hit. The Brig is also fairly agile for such a lumbering machine, capable of moving quickly to the sides through bursts of its jet engines. When an enemy gets too close, a Brig will unleash a Fiery Burst from these engines, that can push back foes and inflict tremendous damage.

They will stride around, firing on players with their Arc turrets while occasionally using either their Void cannon or airstrike missiles, but when they lose a significant portion of their health, their face plate will blow off, exposing their engine core weak point. In this state, they will hover stationary in the air while firing repeatedly with their Annihilation Blaster until either they or their target has been killed. There are two equipment variants of Brigs, those with right arm mounted cannons and those without. The ones without said cannons constantly have their retractable launchers deployed and almost exclusively attack via missile bombardments. These brigs also feature a different set of lights/sensors along their frontal plate with one large sensor and four smaller one's instead of six equally sized.

• The early Beyond Light trailers feature pre-Alpha models of Brigs with distinctly different paint jobs and armed with Black Armory weapons. These however do not appear in the official release of Beyond Light.
• The House of Salvation Brigs appear in one of two colors; dominantly White or dominantly Blue with fur.
  • White Brigs are exclusively armed with missile launchers.
  • Blue Brigs have fur and are equipped with Void arm cannons.
  • Larger White Brigs with fur appear as special encounters and are also equipped with Void cannons and have more durability.
• The Brigs make a non-canon appearance in the remastered Devils' Lair strike and notably feature House of Dusk insignia. However they would finally have an actual appearance in the PsiOps Battleground: Cosmodrome
