Confederate Soldiers

The Confederate Soldier is a medium level unit found in Six Guns. They are located in Fort Ghost and in Soccoro town. They wear the standard grey uniform and wield Burnside Carbines. The Guards in Fort Ghost are allied and will help the Vigilante agianst the various waves of Vampires and Witches. However in Soccoro, the guards are neutral towards the Vigilante and will become hostile towards the Vigilante if he attacks them, any ordinary citizen, non hostile bandit or rider in the town. Hunting animals or randomly firing your gun around the town also causes them to become hostile. They appear as red dots on the minimap when hostile and they engage the Vigilante by firing from cover or attacking in groups which can be risky for lower level players. A good strategy to engage them would be to roll and fire, fire from cover or fire from horseback. Using a Burnside Carbine or Sniper Rifle from the balcony of Gem's Saloon in Soccoro is a good option too. However the Soldiers will help against any hostile bandits or animals that may follow you to the town. There have been instances of Soldiers in Soccoro attacking a bear that pursues you to town. although it could be a bug it isn't confirmed.The soldiers make good target practice for skilled lower level players and a good way for the Vigilante to get the Headshot Achievements easily. The Unique Crime system of Six Guns is evident in the game when the guards attack the player for committing murder in Soccoro, However if the player dies in combat or simply leaves the town and returns then the hostility meter is reset and the guards are indifferent towards the player. However the guards do not become hostile if the player steals a horse from a rider or kills any of the saloon's patrons and staff when inside the saloon.
