Wheelchair-bound residents of Yharnam equipped with various firearms, these enemies are barely mobile and unable to do anything but shoot - they effectively act as stationary gun turrets. What they lack in mobility, however, they more than make up for in firepower. Due to the ranged nature of most of their attacks, they are most threatening when they see you coming from a distance and you're forced to close in while under fire. Once you do get close, however, their lack of melee attack and very slow turning ability means that they're all but defenseless. Those using pistols and rifles have an extremely long reload time between each shot around 5 seconds), so once you see them fire you'll know you have a small window of opportunity to close in and get to the side of them, where it's safe.

Wheelchair Huntsmen with gatling guns can pack a deadly punch and are able to fire sustained bursts at an incredible rate. Each round that hits you will cause you to flinch, making it difficult to escape once they've got you in their sights, so rather than running straight at them, it's best to approach at an angle so that their shots miss. Unlike the other Wheelchair Huntsmen, the ones armed with flamesprayers have no means of hitting you at long range, but they are a serious threat at mid range. When you get close, they'll spray jets of fire in sweeping frontal arcs, which are wide enough to reach you if you're standing beside them, so make sure you get right round to their back once you get close.

Approach these snipers the same way as the ones with gatling guns - use their long reload cycle and any available cover to move in safely, and then hit them with quick R1 attacks from up close, or thrown weapons at a distance. As with all Wheelchair Huntsman enemies, the best place to stand is behind them, but you won't be there very long - one or two basic R1 attacks are enough to deplete their low health.


Basic variant found throughout Yharnam.	Blood variant summoned by Bell Ringer in Yahar'gul.

All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video]

	Pungent Blood Cocktails don't attract this enemy, making the item ineffective.
	Shaman Bone Blades affect this enemy, making it hostile to other enemies.
