Just a regular dude that shoots enemies with a submachine gun at a medium range.
―In-Game Description

Description

The Lackey, internally referred to as KingpinHenchman, is one of the two first units spawned by the Kingpin. It receives three upgrades, one when the Kingpin is upgraded to Level 4B or Level 5A, one when upgraded to Level 5B or Level 6A and one when upgraded to Level 6B. Like most other units, it starts from one of the entrances of the map and moves towards the exit.

Whenever there is a detectable enemy in its range, it will stop moving to attack it. It will continue walking if there are no enemies in its range for a few seconds.

Appearance

The Lackey has dark skin, brown hair and a light smirk. Wears a grey coat with dark grey stripes, white shirt, dark brown stripes pants, brown shoes with gold laces, a shiny leather buckle, golden shades and a grey hat with a red band. Wields an Uzi to attack enemies.

Strategy

  • The Lackey has the fastest spawn time out of all offensive units, though it also has the lowest DPS out of them, so it is optimal to use it for unit stacking.
  • This unit pairs well with the Field Medic from the Mercenary Base, as it can shield it from damage.
  • While the Kingpin does not have hidden detection, the Lackey does, meaning it can be used to deal with Hidden enemies.
    • It cannot be used for flying or lead detection as it lacks them. Other units or the Kingpin itself should be used instead.
