G. Sheldrick [[ccp4:SHELX_C/D/E#critical_parameters|recommends]]: "For iodide soaks, a good rule of thumb is to start with a number of iodide sites equal to the number of amino-acids in the asymmetric unit divided by 15." Bromine should behave similarly, so we expect roughly 14 sites.

I decided to use 3.3 Å as a suitable cutoff for solving the substructure, and to let SHELXD search for 20 Br atoms (just a guess!). SHELXD then found a convincing solution:
