Description
The Raygunner is a mid-game enemy that makes its debut in Expert Mode. Despite wielding a raygun, it does not use it. It has an above average speed and a decent amount of health. It is also protected by the shield they create.
Lore
"Raygunners don't normally use their weaponry, as they are typically used for heavy barricade damage. The heavy ammunition limits their attacks to specific points of interest, rather than the more universal Towers."
"Remember those shielded enemies from waves prior? This is an extreme version. It may have a low amount of health but get ready of its shield."
Appearance
The Raygunner holds a futuristic raygun. There is an enhanced eyepatch covering over the left eye. It has black reflective skin. It wears boots, black gloves, vest, and white clothing. It also wears a black mask. A backpack can be seen being worn on its back. An advanced blue shield can be seen covering itself when its shield health is present, however, when all of its shield health is depleted, the shield effectively breaks.

Tactics
- Lots of 4-0 Sharpshooters or 2-4 Vulcans can easily take down hordes of Raygunners.
- Since these spawn in hordes, you can also use top path Demolitionists to kill them easily due to it's high splash damage in a huge radius.
- Recon Base Missile Truck can deal a ton of damage to multiple Raygunners if the map favors it.
- Elite is extremely viable against Raygunner, as it does 3x damage to shields when upgraded to X-2.
Trivia
- According to the enemy description, the reason why Raygunners don't use their guns to stun towers is because the gun is used for heavy barricade damage.
- The Raygunner's weapon is the Super Spy Laser Blaster.
- The Raygunner's eyepatch is the Laser Eye Patch, but it's re-textured.
- If you look closely, Raygunner's shirt is the same shirt as the Worker's and Chief Worker's shirt, this also applies to his 'Ranked-Up' variant Elite Raygunner.
