Gunslingers and Bounty Hunters are level 6 creatures of Factory. They are recruited from the Watchtower.
Heroes with a specialty
Tancred the Mercenary has Gunslingers as a specialty, which increases the attack and defense skills of any Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters for each level attained after 6th level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
Special Ability: Preemptive Shot
Preemptive Shot triggers when the Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter is targeted by a ranged attack in combat, shooting their attacker with a ranged shot before the enemy has a chance to fire. There is a possibility that the whole attacking stack is killed by Preemptive Shot, therefore dealing no damage. Gunslingers can only do this once per round, while Bounty Hunters can do this an unlimited number of times.
Preemptive Shot works against all ranged shots, except ranged AoE attacks: Liches' Death Clouds and Magogs' Fireball Attacks, even if target Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters as a central hex.
Preemptive Shot does not trigger if there is an enemy unit adjacent to the Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter, unless the hero has Bow of the Sharpshooter equipped.
So as to avoid Preemptive Shot, ranged wandering monsters often walk by land or cast spells (Storm and Ice Elementals) if you have Gunslingers or Bounty Hunters, instead of shooting.
