People have a reason for saying that the Brutalizer is useless against the Ancient Sentinel. Look at the Armor Defense in the article above - the Sentinel's armor only takes 10% damage from Explosive attacks, like the Brutalizer. Most tactics call for circumventing this using attacks with good Armor Piercing, like tanks and the Radio Tech, but the Brutalizer has no armor piercing. It would be a lot more useful once you've stripped away the Sentinel's armor, but Fire damage is the only good way to do that, and there aren't enough hard-hitting Fire attacks that don't rely on DoT effects.
