Arkansas



Arkansas is an elderly, revenge-driven sniper, who lives in Minefield in 2277.

Background
The last of the military survivors who made Minefield their town, Arkansas was a small boy when the slavers first came and captured nearly all of the tribe, but they never found him. Swearing revenge, he spread rumors of a new band of inhabitants and set a trap for the slavers. When the slavers came to raid the town again, they were harried by a hidden sniper and decimated by landmines. The slavers took heavy losses that day and never came back. Now an old man, Arkansas still shuffles around this place.

Daily schedule
Aside from targeting inanimate objects near the player, he will fire - from his perch in a three-story building at the north end of town - upon the vehicles scattered about the area, causing them to explode, when the player character approaches.

Bugs

 * Depending on which angle you approach Arkansas' sniper nest from there is a chance he will run out of the building to get a better angle. However in doing so there is a change he will glitch into the sky. After this happens he will walk around [in the sky] for a few seconds firing shots at you before falling to the ground and dying.
