Water Thief
Description
Water Thieves are high HP infantry that come in three variants: Skirmishers, Looters, and Berzerkers. They use the same model as Old Man; however, most of them wear highly customized masks to cover their faces. They use jerry cans strapped to the sides of their Rigs to carry stolen water. Aside from the Skirmisher, Water Thieves also carry water barrels, leading them to drop Water on death. The human rib cages stashed in their make-shift rigs and their preferred spawning location (the Innards morgue) suggests they are not only stealing water.
Location
- The Innards, Water Thief Raid layout, common WT infantry only.
- Frozen Swamp
