Robber is an infected marauder and a former military man with a dark past. He is armed with a five-round revolver and dressed in a black shirt, black jacket, black pants, and a duty belt. He sports a scruffy black beard.

Overview

Robber is the marauder counterpart of sniper units.

He fires his single-action at a slow speed up to five times before performing a relatively quick reload. If approached suddenly or without ammo, he does a quick melee attack.

As a human, he is able to move towards closest detected enemies, is susceptible to fear, and can navigate around fire pools. He will attack Generator and Turret when he is near them, but will ignore any other stationary items. Some time after dying, he turns into a Tipsy.

Strategy

Robber is the first encountered enemy who uses a ranged weapon, and can easily kill units not resistant to bullets. Builder and Grenadier prove to be the best options to counter him, as they are one of the few bullet resistant units available by the time of reaching location 3. Grenadier is especially notable, as his explosives allow to take care of Robber before he can even detect the incoming units. Red Barrel can be used for the same strategy too, given that a mission allows to accumulate enough rage prior to Robber's appearance. In the worst case, you can use Empty Barrel, which will leave the enemy with just a fraction of its health or even kill it if the barrel is at least 3 levels higher.

A more reckless strategy is to spam fast melee units, like Redneck or Mechanic, and pray that one of them manages to reach Robber in one piece, as Robber's melee is very weak and his low health makes him vulnerable to Mechanic's sledgehammer attack. Likewise, Empty Barrel or Red Barrel can be efficiently used against Robber if enough rage has been collected from other enemies.
