“I was stationed at Fort Z back in the day. Military comms. Still got connections, and those connections are telling me they've been making something big. A kind of directed-energy weapon, a DEW. Whatever it is, it's about to be sent to Area 69 for testing. It's a serious trek to Bone County in the back of a Scarab. If we can get you in somehow... a pass, some cover... you could access the Scarab and the tech before they've finished shitting their pants. Tech goes to a buyer, Scarab I can sell to Arena Wars where the evidence obliterates itself. Oh, this is gonna be fun...”

— Jodi Marshall

The Brute Force File is a mission strand for The FIB Files, featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of Agents of Sabotage update.

Description

After acquiring the Darnell Bros. Garment Factory, the mission strand can be started through the Darnell Inc. app whenever it is available to the player.

Jodi Marshall will inform the player about directed-energy weapon being developed at the Fort Zancudo in Blaine County, one of her former work places, and is due to be transported in the back of a Future Shock Scarab to the Area 69 in Bone County. The player must find a way to infiltrate Fort Zancudo's underground storage facility and deliver the vehicle and its weapon to the buyer.

The Black Box File, like other FIB Files, consists of four Free Mode missions, including three preparation missions and one finale.

Completing The Brute Force File for the first time will unlock the Merryweather Heavy outfit.
