Chaos dwarf hand cannoneer

A Chaos Dwarf Hand Cannoneer is a Chaos dwarf with a hand cannon. This monster was released on 9 September 2009 in the quest Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf.

Players who kill these have a chance of obtaining the Dragon pickaxe, which can only be earned otherwise by killing a Chaos dwogre, by killing a Chaos dwarf (only the Chaos Dwarves in Chaos Dwarf Battlefield drop it), or by buying from other players. They also have a chance of dropping the Hand Cannon and its ammo, Hand cannon shots, which are dropped with 100 at once.

Cannoneers attack mainly with slow but powerful ranged attacks that hit a maximum of 380 damage, though they also use melee, which only hits up to 110. They will change their attack styles according to protection prayers (attacking with melee if Protect from Missiles is used, and with ranged if Protect from Melee is used) and their melee attack appears to hit diagonally, though it doesn't as it is caused by movement lag (the effect of which can also be seen when fighting Pyrefiends), which makes the cannoneer appear somewhere he really isn't. These monsters can be killed after the quest Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf in the Chaos Dwarf Battlefield, which is reached through the tunnel by the gold ore vein in the South West corner of Keldagrim mines.

The Protect from Ranged prayer is strongly recommended when engaging these enemies due to their maximum damage and the multicombat nature of the battlefield. Bring Prayer potions, good food, and a super set as well if you plan to stay for an extended time.
