}}Brigand Marauder is an armored unit from the [[Brigands]] faction.

== Equipment ==

* A weapon:
** 55% chance of a [[Longaxe]] (double chance), [[Pike]], [[Executioner's Sword]], [[Warbrand]], [[Two-Handed Flail]], [[Two-Handed Mace]] or [[Longsword]].
** 45% chance of a [[Handaxe]], [[Flail]] or [[Arming Sword]].
* 50% chance of a [[Bundle of Throwing Axes]], [[Bundle of Javelins]] or [[Throwing Spear]].
* A [[Pillaged Heavy Lamellar Armor]] (255) (only after day 60), [[Patchwork Scale Armor]] (220) or [[Rusted Mail Hauberk]] (140).
** The armor has a 33% chance of a [[Rusted Mail Patch]] (15) (80% chance) or [[Metal Plates and Rivets]] (30) (20% chance) on it.
* A helmet:
** 90% chance of a [[Flat Top with Rusty Mail]] (245) (only after day 60), [[Marauder Helmet with Closed Mail]] (245) (only after day 60, double chance), [[Kettle Hat with Rusty Mail]] (230), [[Marauder Helmet with Rusty Mail]] (180) (double chance) or [[Nasal Helmet with Rusty Mail]] (140).
** 10% chance of a [[Rusty Mail Coif]] (70) or a [[Headscarf]] (20) (double chance). These Marauders have [[Steel Brow]].

==Behavior==
Brigand Marauders start appearing in the middle game, one or more among weaker brigands. Later, brigand parties can sometimes entirely consist of Marauders.

==Tips==

*They resemble [[Barbarian Chosen]] because of similar stats, heavy armor and lack of shields, but have weaker weapons, stats and perk set.
*They often have weapons with extra head hit chance or damage, the most dangerous of which is [[Two-Handed Flail]], and [[Head Hunter]]. Protect heads accordingly and take defensive [[perks]].
*Have some means of escape before the guaranteed second head hit finishes you. The simplest is to [[Knock Back (20 fatigue)|Knock Back]] with a [[Shields|shield]].
*Armor piercing or anti-armor weapons are required to penetrate their armor.
*Control them by [[Maces|stunning]]. [[Battle Whip|Disarming]] only works against 6 AP weapons because they have [[Quick Hands]]. Unarmed attacks interfere with Head Hunter.
*Can be [[Daggers|punctured]] for their armor if the risk is not too high.
*Their heavy armor makes them easy to [[Overwhelm]].
*Their morale can be broken with [[Fearsome]] if you can deal HP damage through armor.
*Their lack of [[Resilient]] makes them more vulnerable to poisons and [[Dazed (Status Effect)|Daze]].
*Letting them spend turns using [[Throwing Weapons|throwing weapons]] seems a better option than walking into melee range of a scary [[Executioner's Sword]] with all these [[Brigand Raider|Raiders]] still present on the battlefield.
