Looters are tier-one bandit infantry in Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord.

Tactics[]

They can be found all over Calradia and are the weakest, most common, and lowest-tier outlaws in Bannerlord. Technically not part of the bandit troop tree, Looters don't actually upgrade to any of the other types - they will, however, join and be joined by other outlaws in battle. Generally cowardly, Looters rarely actually attack anything on the overland map and rout easily in battle - they may attack travelling villagers if they have significantly superior numbers, however (such as when multiple bands join for the same battle).

Looters make excellent practice - charging a group of them with a comparably sized group of new recruits can earn rapid promotions with minimal casualties. Since they lack shields or even half-decent armor, Looters are embarassingly vulnerable to ranged weaponry - most die after only a couple arrows, bolts, and thrown weapons. Being bandits, almost all their armor is torn, tattered, worn, battered, or frayed, and nearly all of their weapons are rusty, splintered, and bent - this means Looter equipment is in poor condition and thus has somewhat lower-than-average stats.

Despite their incredibly poor equipment, care must be taken when ordering (especially light) cavalry to charge a large group of Looters - the ones armed with Pitchforks can cause a horse to rear, halting it in place and allowing the others to swarm over the rider like ants on a rat.

Trivia[]

Since Looters upgrade to Imperial Infatrymen, it can be surmised they are former imperial citizens who have been displaced by the fracturing of the Calradic Empire and the ensuing constant wars. This essentially means Looters could be desperate imperial refugees turned outlaw.
