[B42/B41] Bandits NPC (v2)

IMPORTANT: The mod has been updated to new major version for B42 and B41. It is best to start a new save. You can also re-enable the mod for a current save, but this may lead to errors. Bandits2 introduces many changes and it's best to stop for a moment to read about the changes.

Multiplayer setup guide

Also try Bandit Creator mod which now controls spawn settings and many other aspects of bandits.

During the zombie apocalypse, It's not the zombies you should be afraid of; it's the people...

This mod introduces hostile (NPC) bandits into the game. Please be aware that the enemies in this mod are extremely dangerous, and provide an extent of challenges. Treat them as actual players when it comes to combat. You will need to relearn how to survive.

WORKS IN MULTIPLAYER and WITH EXISTING SAVES and ALL MAPS!

Initially, a small groups of armed individuals with melee weapons appear in the world. Over time, much larger groups armed with handguns and rifles will arrive to take your head. In multiplayer on the other hand, this happens independently for each player. Newer players will have more so simple bandits attacking them, whereas long term players will have stronger bandits attacking them.

Some general customization is done via sandbox settings just like for any other mods.

Customization of bandit looks, weapons and spawn settings is now controlled by Bandit Creator which is a separate mod you need to subscribe to in order to make changes.

• Besides killing you, bandits can steal items from you base, sabotage your generators, vehicles or crops.
  
• Bandits can destroy things: obstacles and furniture blocking their way, destroy doors and windows, destroy or remove barricades, naturally they can also simply open doors or gates.
  
• They can have different extra traits which determine their extra skills
  
• They carry different loot depending to their profession and skills
  
• They will resupply with weapons or ammo from dead corpses and containers nearby.
  
• Some of them rarely may bite you as a recently infected desperate individuals.
  
• They don't know where you are until they see you or until they hear you.
  
• They can shoot all weapons, including shotguns, revolvers or rifles with scopes, weapon range depends on weapon now.

There are no bandits
Do not turn off zombies in your world completely. Otherwise Bandits will not spawn. Turning off zombie respawn is ok.
Their spawning has a large random factor. But if they don't spawn for 5-7 consecutive days then something may be wrong.

IThere is too many bandits
Use Bandit Creator mod to tune the right amount for you.
