War



War is a mini-boss that came out in the 2.5.0 update for Six Guns. He is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse and is the first one so far. He has hell-based armor with a theme of fire and death. He is located in Arizona near Prosperidad and is only seen in mission The World Will End in War.

Backstory
As seen in the trailer above,

Dr. Atticus Stoneback, presumably an insane asylum doctor, wrote in his journal the following words on the arrival of the apocalypse before he was found dead in the Rio de Paz (River of Peace)  Asylum.


 * Depicting the four horsemen of the apocalypse, setting foot on the earth


 * As they roam the world, there will be bloodshed


 * As the apocalypse rages on, smoke covers the skies and birds starts to fall in flames


 * Horror would spread to anybody in these lands (the Wild West)


 * War starts by destroying Prosperidad.

Boss Battle
With his Mayhem Gauntlet, War can unleash various deadly attacks.

The first one is his laser, which is probably his most deadly weapon. He uses this regularly on later fights against him.

The second one is his shotgun, where he unleashes three projectiles similar to the Hand of Kisin's. This attack is easily dodged and is not much of a threat.

His last attack is his homing attack. This attack is very similar to what the Hand Of Kisin does, but the projectiles are much slower and much less damage.

He does not have that much health, but he teleports, so using a homing weapon like the Demon Thrower is recommended because it will follow him. Or you can use any homing weapons.

After mission 12, outlaws will spawn while doing the mission. This may be a threat due to the fact the outlaws can attack you of you don't kill War fast enough.
