Pirate Defender

The Pirate Defender is a type of Pirate wearing improvised armour and padding. The Pirate Defender is not a very strong enemy, but can be dangerous if encountered in groups.

Tips

• The Defender's armour reduces the amount of damage they take from bullets, allowing them to survive about three times as much damage as a Pirate Assaulter. They can usually survive a sniper rifle shot to the torso, unless hit with the powerful Z93 rifle. This makes head shots very important against them for stealthy one-hit-kills. They can be killed with one shot to any part of the body with the Recurve Bow, though.
• They are good defenders since they can sometimes spot the player or even hear something suspicious.
• They work often in tandem with Pirate Assaulters.
• Compared to Assaulters, Defenders are less aggressive and will attempt to stay in cover or cautiously advance.
• Pirate Defenders have weak body armour, as you can see it's duct-taped together. But they can take many shots before dying if you use a weapon with low damage.
• Head shots are extremely effective against them.
• They become more common the more outposts you clear.
