Brick

Brick is the game's "Berserker" class. He can become proficient in explosive weapons, such as Rocket Launchers, and has the ability to go into a Berserker Rage that makes him very powerful in melee combat.

Appearance
Brick is a massive specimen of a man who likes to use his fists and explosive weapons. He wears a necklace around his neck adorned with the paw of his dead dog, Priscilla. On his fists he has attached bolts and screws, as well as rings on each hand that say "1" and "2" (giving a new meaning to the phrase "the ol' one-two"). His boots are similarly adorned with bolts. The letters "TCB", with a lightning bolt, are emblazoned on Brick's belt, a signature of Elvis Presley which means "taking care of business in a flash".

Family
Brick's family is referenced in several places throughout the game.
 * His sister is his reason for being on Pandora. She is missing and he has to find her.
 * His mother is referenced in Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot as getting past a certain round; apparently, she was as good a fighter as he. This may or may not have been a jibe.
 * his dad had a extremly large cock

Gameplay
Brick is often an up-close and personal kind of guy. He is well equipped to use shotguns and explosives, and is also a very potent brawler with his fists when he slips into a berserker rage. Some say he is best played as a tank or brawler, as he has talents that reinforce him to withstand harm, empower his brawling capabilities and aid any explosive weaponry that he might use. His default melee weapon is a pipe.

Active Ability

 * See Article: Active Abilities, for info.

Brick's Active ability is a Berserk Mode in which the screen goes red, he holsters his weapon and proceeds to attack with his fists. During this time, Brick also gains resistance to all damage and his health will regenerate at a rapid rate as he beats down enemies. You control Brick's berserk mode by using the 'aim' button for a powerful but slower left hook and the 'shoot' button for a quicker but weaker right jab. One of the ways that his Berserk Mode is improved is by upgrading different skill trees.

Brick's three skill trees are Brawler which focuses on improving his melee combat abilities, especially while Berserk, Tank which focuses on improving his durability in combat, and Blaster which focuses on enhancing his weapons skills, with an emphasis on explosive weaponry.

Trivia

 * All of Brick's Tier 4 skills refer to movies:
 * Master Blaster comes from a character of that name in the movie, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
 * Bloodsport recognises the martial arts, action movie, Bloodsport.
 * Unbreakable is the title of a movie starring Bruce Willis.


 * His Tier 3 skill, Die Hard, is a reference to the Die Hard series of films starring Bruce Willis.
 * Pictured on "Wanted" posters in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, Brick has a higher bounty on his head, at $9,999,999.99, than the others, who are targeted for $1,000,000.00. His listed crime is "Murder and Dismemberment of anything that moves".
 * When playing as Brick as the host of a game, you can get an artificial speed boost by going into Berserk mode within less than a second of being downed or dying otherwise which will not impair your ability to use weaponry or your peripheral vision (no blood filled peripheries is what is meant by that) but will fool the game into thinking that you are moving in Berserk mode (Brick's walking speed in Berskerk mode is the equivalent of a normal sprinting speed). A less effective speed boost of the same nature can be gained by going into Berserk mode then simultaneously opeing your inventory or interacting with an object that brings up a menu (vending machine, Catch-a-Ride station, etc). The effects of both of the glitches are somewhat permanent with the speed boost going away only after using Berserk mode again or after you quit the game. Both glitches are infinitely repeatable as long as you are the host of the game.
