Outlaw Heavy

An Outlaw Heavy. Straw hat, white vest, ragged halfpants and a slab of mercenary plate

Race	Greenlander, Hive Soldier Drone, Hive Worker Drone (50% female chance)
Faction	Rebel Farmers
Weapon	Holed Sabre (manufacturer Unknown or Ancient)
Armour	Mercenary Plate, Straw Hat, White Vest, Halfpants (ragged), Wooden Sandals
Armour quality	Shoddy 75% / Standard 25%
Bounty	10% chance of 2,500 to 3,500 Cats
Formation	Groups of 3 to 7, always led by an Outlaw Swordsman Captain

The closest thing the Rebel Farmers have to heavy infantry — mercenary plate over a holed sabre. Only one in ten carries a bounty, but when they do it is the same bracket as a captain, so it pays to open each one.

Outlaw Heavies are a unit type of the Rebel Farmers, and the closest thing this rebellion has to heavy infantry.

They form the core of the heavy squads that roam Bast, the Grey Desert, Heng and Sinkuun. A squad is usually 3 to 7 Heavies, sometimes with 1 to 3 Outlaw Swordsmen tagging along, but always under an Outlaw Swordsman Captain.

Where you meet them

Besides the roaming patrols, there are fixed postings:

The barracks at Fort Simion — 5 to 6 of them, plus 4 to 6 more serving as Boss Simion's personal bodyguard
Peasant-controlled Port North, Port South and Slave Farm South — garrisoning the barracks
Your own base — if you are allied with the Rebel Farmers, a heavy squad will turn up to help repel United Cities attacks on it

Two world states

NoteOnce Lord Inaba is dead, an extra heavy squad spawns, the ceiling rises from 7 Heavies to 11, and the patrol range extends into Bast, Heng and Stormgap Coast.

ImportantOnce Emperor Tengu is killed, all of these squads stop spawning. The wiki's reading is that they either laid down the sword or folded into the Rebel Swordsmen.

Are they worth fighting

Only one in ten Outlaw Heavies carries a bounty, but when one does it runs 2,500 to 3,500 Cats — the same bracket as an Outlaw Swordsman Captain. Which means that after clearing a squad it is worth opening every body rather than only checking the leader.

Combat statistics

Taking the Greenlander version:

Dexterity	29–37
Toughness	21–29
All six weapon skills / Melee attack and defence	21–29
Stealth / Lockpicking / Thievery / Field Medic	29–37
Dodge / Martial Arts	−1.5–6.5
Assassination	33

Figures randomise by ±4 and are then scaled by the racial multiplier. The armour is Shoddy (25% chance of Standard); what actually holds them up is the Mercenary Plate, not the numbers.
