}}Mercenary Marksman is a ranged unit, which appears in [[Mercenaries|mercenary squads]] and as enemy during some [[contracts]].

* A [[Dagger]], [[Scramasax]], [[Hatchet]] or [[Bludgeon]].
* A [[Mail Shirt]] (130), [[Basic Mail Shirt]] (115), [[Padded Leather]] (80), [[Rugged Surcoat]] (55), [[Padded Surcoat]] (50) or [[Thick Tunic]] (35).

== Behavior ==
Mercenary Marksmen don't reposition much, and will instead just shoot. Their allies also don't guard them like [[Brigands]] or [[Nomads]] do (verify).

==Tips==

* They will [[Overwhelm]] you, unless you are faster, use [[Adrenaline (20 fatigue)|Adrenaline]], [[Throwing Net|nets]], [[Dazed (Status Effect)|daze]] or [[Staggered (Status Effect)|stagger]].
* [[Nimble]] makes them quite tough. Because of this and the presence of more dangerous or vulnerable [[Mercenary|melee Mercenaries]], sniping them is not recommended.
* However, their damage is annoying. Engage them in melee when possible so they will stop shooting.
* They can use [[Rotation (Skill)|Rotation]] and [[Footwork (Skill)|Footwork]] to escape melee.
* Despite being ranged, they aren't completely harmless in melee, and can [[Overwhelm]] and [[Puncture (20 fatigue)|Puncture]].
* If you don't rely on ranged units, prefer nighttime when they are less accurate.
