Shooters are mercenaries that specialise in long ranged combat and roam uncommitted between the settlements in search of easy pay for their expertise. They are far too independent and wild to submit to anyone else's leadership, but shooters are experienced fighters so their services are always in demand. Commonly they are employed by hivers or guilders to act as sentries or to protect expanses of open terrain, but the more adventurous shooters may sometimes choose to run alongside the warring gangs for a slice of the spoils.
