Understand Armed Pillager Weapon Variety

Random Loadouts Each Spawn

Each Armed Pillager spawns with a random firearm from the TACZ mod's weapon pool. This means you'll encounter different weapon types during raids and patrols—some may carry rifles, others automatic weapons or precision firearms. Their loadouts are unpredictable, so you cannot prepare for a specific threat.

The mod integrates with custom weapon packs and community addons, so your installed gun mods directly expand the possible weapons Pillagers can spawn with. If you've added extra weapon packs to your mod setup, Armed Pillagers will use those weapons too.

Adapt Your Strategy

Because loadouts are random, treat each encounter as unique. A Pillager with an automatic weapon requires different tactics than one with a single-shot rifle. Automatic weapons deal sustained damage, so minimize exposure time. Single-shot weapons have reload windows—exploit these gaps to advance or heal.

Observe the weapon type during early shots, then adjust your positioning and timing accordingly. Faster-firing weapons demand more aggressive use of cover, while slower weapons allow for more deliberate, careful engagement.
