Not quite, and where are you getting the +5 & +6 from? You'd get 1d8 + STR mod + 1d10. Assuming you're at the cap of 20 STR, you only get a +5 to damage rolls, so where's that +6 coming from?
You also don't get an additional bonus action when you use Action Surge, so your total number of possible attacks is 9. That would be a minimum of 63 damage, and a maximum of 207.
Brute is also a dead subclass that has been abandoned, so it's only available in a homebrew game anyway.

You don't know what fear is until you've witnessed a drunk bird divebombing you while carrying a screaming Kobold throwing fire anywhere and everywhere.

Sorry, faulty Math on my part. Thank you for pointing it out, gives new perspective.
35 minimum and 115 maximum.
Although Action Surge is an extra action, not a bonus action; at least from what I'm reading. So 67 minimum and 211 maximum with Action Surge.
Is all this now correct?
Also, isn't Brute still UA? I though UA was like homebrew by Wizards of the Coast that could become official. When did they officially consider it a lost concept?

Wait, my previous issue messed with me.
It would be 35 minimum and 115 maximum.
With Action Surge it would be 64 minimum and 207 maximum.
7*9=63 ;P Otherwise, you've got the right idea now.
I'm not 100% on what makes a UA "officially dead"--since none of it is official until it hits the store anyway--but it no longer being available to even look at on DDB is a good indication it's been scrapped. It's just homebrew now.

There are, broadly speaking, three groups of Unearthed Arcana with regards to D&D Beyond:
Never added content such as Mystic, Revised Ranger, and skill feats. These are allUnearthed Arcana releases from January 2018 or earlier that, when UA was first added to DDB, were part of a cut off not to be added. Anything from this group is considered abandoned
Archived content, such as the Brute or Aberrant Mind. This is content that was added to DDB, but was archived from the site at the request of Wizards of the Coast as it's no longer being actively developed. For example, the Onomancy wizard or Revived rogue from the recent rounds of UA
Available content, such as the Rune Knight, Psi Knight, Soulknight...I mean Soulknife. This is content that's in active playtest and development and thus remains on D&D Beyond.
Considering a Brute Fighter at level 20 5e (UA):
Dual Wielder (Feat), Two-Weapon Fighting (Fighting Style), Brute Force (Martial Archtype), Extra Attack (Fighter) -
Longsword (1d8 + 5 + 1d10) - Action
Longsword (1d8 + 5 + 1d10) - Extra Attack 1
Longsword (1d8 + 5 + 1d10) - Extra Attack 2
Longsword (1d8 + 5 + 1d10) - Extra Attack 3
Longsword (1d8 + 5 + 1d10) - Bonus Action
If all hit, this gives a minimum of 35 slashing damage to a maximum of 115 slashing damage. Is that correct?
If the Action Surge (Class) is used, wouldn't this increase the above to a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 207?
This isn't even including Devastating Critical (Martial Archtype).
Just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly because it seems powerful if the hits land. Thanks in advance!

Corrected math issue... (Thank you Sigred!)

I hope that clears things up a bit.
