Enemies

There are several types of enemies in Colt Canyon. The most common enemy type is a human equipped with some type of weapon.

All enemies can be killed with enough fire power or melee damage.

Enemies can be identified by the alertness indicator and the slight red tint to their color.

Enemy Types
All enemies are either a human or an animal. There are not fantasy enemies like orcs or dragons.

All enemies are either melee-based with some kind of melee attack or melee weapon or ranged-based equipped with some type of weapon that usually could also be used by the player.

Guns equipped by enemies usually are a bit weaker than the same weapon used by the player or companions.

Every area has its own types of enemies.

Some enemies can show up as elite version.

Bosses
Boss enemies are enemies that the player is forced to engage, because after every area, before reaching the next area, the player will encounter the area's boss.

There are currently three bosses in Colt Canyon. Its always advised to pack weapons with a lot of punch for boss fights and make heavy use of dodging.

Special enemies
There are some special enemies that are not spawning like regular enemies or bosses.

Wolf
Wolves are a special type of enemy, not only because they are not human, but also because they do not spawn like regular enemies in particular levels. Instead they will start spawning after the player spent too much time in a level to force the player to move to the next level.

Aggressive Merchant
If the player attacks a merchant, for example by using explosives, the usually friendly and innocent merchant will turn hostile and fight the player. The more merchants the player has killed before the stronger the aggressive merchant will be.

Aggressive Slave
Aggressive slaves are slaves that spawn with a knife equipped. They will only spawn as the Slaver's minions and only if innocent slaves were killed before.

Small enemies
Some NPCs are too small to be hit with ranged weapons. Melee attacks or special weapons are needed to hit them reliably.

Currently only scorpions and snakes are part of this enemy category.
