Dust Walker (enemy)

The Dust Walker is a Raider unit and is arguably the Raider equivalent to the Sharp Shooter/Sniper/Marksman due to its high damage output towards infantry and lack of overall effectiveness against armored vehicles.

Prior to the 1.2 Patch and 1.1 Patch Dust Walkers were infamous for their ability to get almost constant critical hits on infantry and due to their original attack range they were able to hit any unit regardless of placement.

As of the 1.3 Patch, they do not show up in random encounters as often as they used to but still retain their lethality towards most infantry. Their attack range functions effectively in the opposite direction as Snipers meaning they attack the rear row first and anything large enough, such as a tank or Riot Trooper will block the squares in front of the unit in a similar manner to a Tank blocking the squares behind it if it were on the opposite side of the battlefield. Despite its low amount of HP Dust Walkers have a high survivability in battle due to its high chance to dodge attacks, including most shell based attacks from Tanks and sometimes even dodge Sharp Shooter and Sniper fire.
