Mountain Bandits are bandit infantry in Mount&Blade and Warband.

Tactics

Roaming the mountainous regions of Calradia - especially those controlled by the Kingdom of Rhodoks - they spawn in groups of 4-60.

Mountain Bandits are the only outlaw type carrying weapons that can crush through blocks. The combination of heavy weapons and effective shields makes them some of the harder-to-kill bandits. If captured in battle or rescued from another party's prisoners, Mountain Bandits can be upgraded to Rhodok Tribesmen.

Quotes

Mountain Bandits say one of the following lines when encountering the player.

• "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way..."
• "Your money or your life!"
• "We'll have our pay... or we'll have our fun."
• "My men and I would like a word with you about your purse and your belongings."

Trivia

• While they could spawn riding Steppe Horses or black Saddle Horses in classic Mount&Blade - usually making them hard to fight for lone adventurers and low-level characters - they were converted to infantry-only in Warband.
