Looters and bandits are being bullied
Every Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord player knows them: The Looter (German: looters). Although they are not particularly strong and cannot withstand much, they can be annoying. They throw stones at us with the accuracy of a sniper, constantly interrupting our attack animations. In addition, despite the thick armor, the nasty pebbles always cause a few damage points.
With the new update, the looters have now been weakened by the developers and theirs Throwing accuracy reduced, so that you get significantly less stones thrown at your head from what feels like kilometers away.
The forest bandits, which you regularly encounter early in the game, have also been weakened: the unit type Bushwacker now uses a mixture of long and short bows, previously they only used the stronger longbows.
The Freebooter, another unit of the forest bandits, has also been rebuilt – although they continue to use their longbows But weapons have a lower rank.
