They can be found all over Eastern Europe in groups of 3-60 and are the weakest, most common, and lowest-tier outlaws in With Fire & Sword. Almost nothing has changed about these rough bunches from Warband except their clothes and weapons they are somewhat less common to encounter, however, and should not be confused with the much more dangerous Rebels.
These Looters are moderately stronger than their previous counterpart due to the fact they use somewhat stronger weapons - such as Carpenter Axes and Pitchforks - and are also guaranteed to wear armor and boots whereas previous Looters could spawn with neither.
Looters can only be recruited from prisoners. This can be done if you have taken them as prisoner and recruit through the camp menu, though this way will inflict a morale penalty on your party and a good percentage will flee from your army during the first night. The second and more reliable way is to recruit them from prisoners held by your enemies. When Looters gain enough experience, they can be upgraded to Bandits, who carry firearms. As can be discovered when fighting them, they are otherwise practically useless without upgrades.
Stats and Equipment[]
Note: Troops have a set of default stats; at the beginning of a new game, these stats are randomly adjusted for each type of troop. The following is the default set for this troop as seen within the game code and may not reflect the specific stats you will see during actual gameplay. For more information, see Troop stats.
