Specialist Hugh Armbruster is a character in the Brigador audiobook.

Early in the audiobook, Armbruster reads the Contract on a hacked District Control Gate terminal. It is later revealed that he accepted the contract, vowing to eliminate staff of Outpost 78, as well as the visiting Colonel.

Added to the pilot holster in the All Saints patch, in November 6th 2017.

Acquisitions Entry

A steadily coiling spring of murderous energy with no release. Great Leader has kept the peace, and Armbruster was born to spill a torrent of blood; in another life he would have gone far in our own ranks. Instead he and his kind wait for us in every city, every country, every planet in which the Concern seeks to regain control. Waiting like the black holes invisibly pitting the night sky over Solo Nobre—impatient for anything to get too close. Waiting for the freedom of the Contract, without ever knowing it.

Trivia

• Hugh Armbruster's pilot portrait bears an uncanny resemblance to Stellar Jockeys co-founder, Hugh Monahan.

Achievements

Called It What It Truly Was Complete an operation with a Buckmaster equipped with Zeus, Bonesaw, and Active Camo. Excerpt from the Brigador Audiobook, chapter 1: "The Buckmaster, a marvel of engineering, is the only scout mech chassis able to mount such a heavy weapon. He thought the Buckmaster deserved a better name, so he called it what it truly was: a hunter. Specialist Hugh Armbruster loved his mech."
