Bushwacker

Discover the Bushwacker's skill values in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Learn their strengths in One Handed, Two Handed, Polearm, Bow, Throwing, Riding, and Athletics.

Alright, let's talk about the Bushwacker. These guys are your typical bandit fodder, but they've got some surprising strengths that can make them a real pain if you're not careful. Think of them as the scrappy underdogs of the bandit world.

Here's a quick rundown of their skill values:

As you can see, they're surprisingly decent with bows and have solid Athletics skills, which means they can close the distance or put up a good fight on foot. Their Riding skill isn't half bad either, so don't expect them to be easy targets to run down on horseback. Where they fall short is in Two Handed combat and Crossbows, so if you can force them into those situations, you'll have an advantage.

Basically, when you run into a group of Bushwackers, expect them to try and pepper you with arrows from a distance or engage in solid melee if you get too close. Keep an eye on their ranged capabilities, and try to close the gap quickly or use terrain to your advantage.
