Gunner Droid

The gunner droid is a Hostile Droid that may be first encountered in Sandy Canyon, but is usually first encountered in Mount Whirl.

Appearance
All variants of the Gunner Droid have a handcannon on their right arm. Gunner Droids are green, Gunner Droid 2.0s are Yellow and Gunner Droid 3.0s are Orange. All Gunner Droids fire bullets that match their color.

Rapid-Fire Droid s, although very similar to Gunner Droids, are technically different droids.

Behavior
The Gunner Droid has 2 types of attacks. Its melee attack is simply chasing players within its aggro range like other Droids in the game.

However, when there are no players within its aggro range, the Gunner Droid will use its ranged attack: firing bullets at the nearest player. It fires at a regular interval, with each shot dealing 5 damage if it hits the player. The bullets can collide with anything.

Combat Tips
Gunner Droids have moderate damage and health, but can damage players from afar.

As a Paladin, the Golden Shield negates projectile damage completely, allowing you to safely approach Gunner Droids without having to dodge their bullets. (you can get the Golden Shield through various ways as other classes, but none of them are reliable).

As Gunner Droids cannot aim their bullets upwards or downwards, getting onto higher ground can allow you to avoid being hit by the bullets.

While Gunner Droid bullets are easy to dodge on their own, they are more difficult to dodge when you are simultaneously fighting other Droids. You can use other Droids or environmental objects as a shield to block the bullets.
