Mercenaries are guards hired by Captain Siad, the head of the Desert Mining Camp, to guard it. The four of them are led by a Mercenary Captain and their duty is to protect said captain and the entrance to the camp. They will attack the player if they are wielding a weapon or wearing armour outside the Desert Mining Camp. After completion of The Tourist Trap, they are no longer aggressive outside the camp regardless if the player wears any armour or weapons. However, if the player stands inside the camp right next to the gate, they can call out the player and attempt to attack them, but will fail due to the gate being in the way,
