The camps consist of caves, longboats, tents, or shacks. Attacking the camps with a shield and one-handed weapon is recommended since most bandits use ranged weapons. You will not lose any relation with the lord and if you ask for a task immediately afterwards, he will give you another chance at destroying the bandits.īandit camps are good targets of opportunity for new characters since they are filled with items that can be used early on or sold for money. If you fail to eliminate the camp while taking on such a quest, you have to explain this to the lord.
These camps are often quest targets for a lord who owns a nearby town.
However if you fail, the bandits leave the camp and build another camp somewhere else (and continue to plague anyone who passes by). If the base is destroyed, you are presented with the loot screen with their 'ill-gotten gains' (usually bandit arms and armour, with a few villagers' supplies). Due to the narrow entrances to the camps, cavalry cannot be used in the battle. When reaching a bandit camp, you have the option to leave it alone or attack it. These camps act as the main base for bandit gangs. Bandit Camps were introduced in Mount&Blade: Warband.
