Black Uruk archers are uncommon Orcs that spawn in Mordor. They are the elite archers of Mordor and use their factions bows and are shod in Black Uruk armour.
Spawning
Black Uruk archers can spawn anywhere Black Uruks spawn. Additionally, they will also sometimes pop up when Mordor invades one of the many lands surrounding it.
Behaviour
Black Uruk archers will ignore any player with Mordor alignment of 0 or higher. But if a player or NPC not allied with Sauron approaches them, they will attack, keeping their distance from their foe, in the same way that most of the Mod's ranged units fight. When fighting them keep in mind that they are much stronger than a regular archer.
Drops
Black Uruks commonly drop rotten flesh and also have a few rare drop possibilities such as Black Uruk steel ingots and Orc draughts. Additionally to these, they have a moderate chance to drop some of the equipment or armour they are carrying.
