Patrols

“We're just keeping this land safe.” — Headbanger

A Headbanger and Hairbanger patrol clash outside of the Crushing Pit

Each faction has patrols that roam the Brütal Land. Enemy patrols are always hostile to the player, and will attack on sight. The player can also interact with friendly Ironheade patrols, most of which can be double teamed. If the player helps a friendly patrol wipe out another group of enemies (not including creatures), they will be awarded 15 Fire Tributes. Patrols start to appear after "Exploited in the Bowels of Hell" is completed.
