Outbreak – Brutal Difficulty
In Outbreak, your mission is to defend your base from a large swarm of infested terran during the night and destroy undefended structures during the day. The biggest difference in Brutal is that the enemies hit harder and the days are shorter. If you have problems with this mission, complete The Dig mission first, which will give you Siege Tanks. Without Siege Tanks, you need to build 2 bunkers protected by Supply Depots and manned with Marines and SCVs to defend them. Firebats will also work inside the bunker. There are 3 choke points, so you’ll need 6 bunkers and a ton of Supply Depots. There is no expansion, so gathering the needed minerals and vespene gas only requires you to build SCVs and send them to collect.
You’ll notice at the end I carefully avoided completing the mission so that I would have a chance to collect the final Zerg specimen. This is very important since it will help you level up your units and structures in the Laboratory.
