@KindChinotto48 I think it might be rot, and it will spread to the other if you don't separate the affected one from the smaller healthy ones, to prevent spreading. The one that is affected can be saved by cutting off the upper part (which is still healthy green), and try to let it grow roots (propagation by cuttings).
The causes of cactus rot are too much moist, either in the soil or in the air.

It's too far away to tell exactly what it is. When I zoom in it's blurry. Any chance you can get a close up of the brown.
Please don't make any rash decisions and cut into your cactus, without knowing what it is. If someone gives you a diagnosis with that photo it is a guess.
My guess is that it could be corking or possibly scale. But a close up is required to see properly. ๐ฉท

Perfect photos it looks like soft scale, a pest that sucks the sap out.
Is the cacti sticky?
I marked up your photo, take your fingernail and try to scrape the spots off. If you can scrape them off its scale.

They can leave blobs of a waxy substance they excrete when there are a lot of them.
If it is and you can remove them with your fingernail. Treat the cactus once a week with neem oil for 3 weeks.
