Alliance defenders - what "type" of enemies are they?

[hoary fog]

Are alliance defenders treated as bandits from attackers POV? Meaning, will they be hit harder with a gun, rather than with rifle?

[stuck tree]

Hm i think rifle better for killing them

But they not bandits

[stuck tree]

They bot players

[hoary fog]

You misunderstood the question.

[stuck tree]

But it you attack to alliance they will get revenge even they real players

[hoary fog]

I know that.

Will the "bandit" bonus of a gun apply to the damage when I use gun on defenders of a base? Obvisouly the "animal" bonus of a rifle wont.

Thats why I wanna know if defenders are "bandits"?

[stuck tree]

Hm

Let me search up

Gun bandit won't work on alliance defender look at damage rifle t5 rare have high damage than gun t5 rare https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxVWYHP3H2DoOGrjkeadMgbLoOwjZVnAil?si=Xa6HGjkMIPdArups

[fallen crag]

No , defenders are NPC not bandits

I've been told this

[stuck tree]

[fallen crag]

Yes , but this was very long before skills update when no gun had any bonus . I confirmed for the curent time

I see this is very old video and weapon damage bonus was not introduced here!

[stuck tree]

Well i gotta test it myself when i got time go to raid alliance

[hoary fog]

So, are you saying that bandit bonus doesn't apply on ally defenders?

[fallen crag]

Yes

Since they are in a separate category of NPC

[hoary fog]

Let me know when you do that, if you can make a video it would be great.

[hoary fog]

okay thanks.

[fallen crag]

You welcome

[hoary fog]

Also, one more thing while we're at it.. what happens when timer "Rivals will get reinforcement in ..." runs out?

More enemies? More contribution if killed?

[fallen crag]

An army of incredibly powerfull enemies come . Their attacks ignore armor and certainly will kill you instantly

[hoary fog]

Oky, wont even try it. Thanks!

[fallen crag]

You welcome

[ashen leaf]

Damn!!... I've always wanted to test it... But I raid Solo... 😆

[fallen crag]

Well , if you ever wanna die and don't know a good way to do it , wait for those reinforcements

Intrasting video. So thats how it was. U coud acess backpak. U coud raid 10 alliances alone.😅

Just was wondering why it show 3 safes in base. That one I dont get.

[fallen crag]

Before there were more loots : coffee boxes , whiskey boxes , dynamite boxes . These were marked with safes , which was kinda ... inacurate . Glad that they removed those and now only the HQ safe is the loot . Raids are simpler and faster

[winter igloo]

Oh ok. That was intrasting.
Stealing their whiskey and coffe.😅
I am sure thay got mad😅

[fallen crag]

[sacred sleet]

Hi!
No, they not. 🙂
They don’t receive any bonus damage from weapons 🙂

[misty mica]

Remember that box of about 12k whiskey that went round and round?

Btw, the attackers don't count as bandits either, so defenders don't get bonus for them. As most of the defenders use rifles anyway, this has not an overly huge impact.

[winter igloo]

I didnt play back than. Not so old player.
I cach on old sistem of tubes that was changed when I was t4.
Dont know how lower lvls do now. I rember quest board tasks was somthing I avoided,early on,find it to hard,keept on dying back than,by thay have to for upgrades.
And buying gunparts was favorit spending of coins later on.

Handgun not much good in raids anyway.
Less range gets u into cross fire offten with multiple reduction on attack speed when that hapens.
With rifle u have range and reduction on avatar attack speed as well,and bigger base damage.
But we do have unique situation with alliance full of true cowboys who love to raid with handguns.😅

Thanks for official confirmation

^Which doesn’t mean I didn’t consider Mario’s answer as official!
