Raiding a bandit camp

[Bryan=0101]

A.17 unstable bandit camp oppunity
I only have 2 ranged fighets out of my 5 colonist
If i do this raid i get a minigun its a 6 day travel inculding the return trip
I don't want to send both of them and leave the colony with little in the ways of adept protection.
Can I pull a raid off with one guy with a survival rifle and another with a galdius?

If the gladius guy have a personal shield , try it !

You will be slaughtered, lol. Just think of how it works out when someone sends a raid of two your way.

[Mallard]

LOL, not a chance. If you want to a successful raid you gotta send at least 5 well armed men, at the least. Even then you'll probably lose someone.

Make a save and test things out.

From what i've heard about those raids is that they're pretty tough.

The danger of raiding a bandit camp is nether worth it, not until you have progressed so far beyond the value of the reward that the reward is not worth it.

I haven't tested the feature, but this has been my feeling on the issue for awhile, based on what I do know of the game. I can (and need to) do so much in my town in even 2 days time, that the resources need to be great to sacrifice time/food/health to travel and a raid.

THAT said... my very first raid opportunity (early on) was for a legnedary sniper rifle as a reward. That seemed... tempting.

Caravans are super unbalanced right now, which will hopefully be an A18 fix. No caravaning or attacking band camps are worth it right versus just building up a base. Good silver can be made from trading, but then its hard to argue that's worth the risk when you have to split your colony to make the trip and could always get hit with a bad raid.
