So I booted up the game for the first time in a while to see what the deal was with the bandits, and discovered a heavily armored variant that pummeled two people to death before absconding with a basket of cabbage. Guns seem to have little impact. What can be done to counter this menace, seeing as my settlement is deprived of sulfur and no one dares enter the refinery for some reason?
Yeah, there are two types of bandits, the regular kind, and once in a while, an Armoured Bandit (I will refer you to the Bandit page on the official wiki) - anything that is armoured (bandits, giant beetles, Obeliskians) has incoming damage reduced by half, but it's not invulnerable; you can still shoot him to death.
Neato. Thanks for the well-crafted link; I suppose to this means I'll just have to be lucky enough to spawn on some mineral-rich land and hope people don't think the refinery is cursed.
