BRO ALPHA
- BOSS
- BOOT HILL
- RANGED
BRO ALPHA is a boss on BOOT HILL, a place of hands.
It shoots from 240 away and ducks behind cover between shots.
One of the three controllers shielding THE BRO SUPERCORE, and the one that runs every hand in the park. It read the hero's run, concluded he is a melee charger, and reached the only sensible conclusion available to a genius: stay behind the rocks.

What to know
- HOW IT ENDSIt is opened along the line the blow came in on, and comes apart into whatever it was made of.
- LEASHEDNever strays further than 520 from where it stands.
- PART OF A WHOLEPays 5× a monster of its level rather than a full set-piece reward — the fight it belongs to is priced as one.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGA shift's pay, and only about one body in five is carrying any of it when it falls.
- WHEN STRUCKIt throws sparks. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it into wire, cells and torn plate, and it smokes where it lands.
Its shot
It fires every 2.0s from up to 240 away, for 22 before your armor turns its share. Walls eat the shot and a jump clears it. Between shots it puts the nearest solid thing between you and it, and only steps back out as the reload runs down.
What it drops
Every kill pays one piece of gear, one medkit and one XP scroll.
Its drops roll 30% better on the rarity ladder than the level's ordinary loot.
Guaranteed pieces by rarity: 1 magic. A rarity the monster's own level has not unlocked yet is skipped, so the same fight pays better on a harder rung.
