Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Burned Bulls

The Burned Bulls are remnants of Caesar's Legion turned Tribal. after the second war of Hoover Dam and before The Fall.

Overview
Lead by Caius Severus, this splinter group originating from remains of Caesar's Legion turned into a tribe, characterized by the fetishization of their past as members of Caesars Legion.

This is not only reflected in their armor which is mostly comprised of reclaimed legion armor and masks aping the one worn by the former Legate Lanius as well as in their penchant for crucifixion, but also in their preference for posing in allmost the same formation as the Legions' when first encountering The Courier during past events.

Whether or not their initial desire to reconstitute the Legion remains a conscious part of their identity is unknown, but their extremely aggressive behaviour might stem from the death of their idol.

Tactical considerations
Burned Bulls are, with very few exceptions, armed with melee weapons and require closing the distance between their intended victim and themselves, which makes them vulnerable ranged attacks. They seem to be able to move deceptively fast though, and preventing them from reaching melee range might require trading slower, but more accurate attacks for more quick, but potentially resource wasting ones in order to not get swarmed and suqsequently overwhelmed.

Their common Legion armor, while providing for some protection, is not capable of absorbing larger amounts of damage. Both, armor and helmets worn can provide substantial bonus effects, and are thus of interest to Survivors.

What they can't make up in equipment, they can usually make up in numbers, being able to swarm Survivors and take them down with a barrage of attacks using Junk Swords and other cobbled-together melee weapons.

Some members of the Burned Bulls will carry advanced weaponry and armor, though, such as 10mm Pistols, even Submachine Guns and Metal Armor, but these are few and far between. Of particular note is the Ripper carried by a member in the Burned Bulls Camp.

Trivia

 * Members of the Burned Bulls will often utter sentences formerly used by Legion personnel, such as "Another kill to my name!".
 * All members of the Burned Bulls seem to be simply named "Tribal" in-game
