Bandits

 are NPC's available during the Wild West 2016 Event.

They serve as the usual roaming characters. They spawn every 10 minutes until the amount of 30 is reached. When the town is filled further are spawned to a bank and moved from the bank into the town as soon as some of them are tapped by the player.

The bank also can't hold more than 15. So if the player doesn't clear their town at least every seven and a half hours, any additional spawns will be lost.

Rewards
When tapped they give 1 event currency depending on the act. Clues in Act 1, Deputy Badges in Act 2, or TNT in Act 3, as well as other currency that can be exchanged at the General Store. They can also be encountered in friends' towns, however only the first 30 friend actions of each day will reward currencies. Rewards from friend actions can be doubled by purchasing the Deputy Credentials.
