About

The Brute Ferox (Gen2) is a fantasy-type creature appearing in the Genesis DLC as a hunt encounter variant of the large Ferox form. It shares the shapeshifting nature of the standard Ferox but is tuned as a brute-tier threat, making it significantly more dangerous than a wild Ferox encountered in normal gameplay.

Admins working with Genesis Part 2 hunt missions will encounter this creature as a scripted spawn tied to those events rather than as a freely roaming wild creature. Its entity ID Shapeshifter_Large_Character_BP_Hunt_Gen2_C and name tag Bigly are the reliable identifiers to use when targeting it in server commands or mission configuration.

Because this variant is mission-specific, forcing it to spawn outside its intended context may produce unpredictable behavior. Use the entity ID carefully in controlled test environments before applying changes to a live server.
