The Steam Gunman is an unlockable unit, and has a large movement range, making him an excellent choice for any scenario. He is especially useful in the Gold Rush and Claim Jumping scenarios because of his ability to act as a "gold retriever." In Cattle Rustling scenarios, he is best used as a shepherd to move cattle closer to a player's spawn point.
As a steam unit, the Gunman is strong against human units, except big shots; an opponent would likely target Artillery and big shots upon the Gunman because of this. The Gunman can operate as both a durable fast-striker and as a vehicle for achieving objectives, and many players bring him on every match.
The Steam Gunman can be unlocked by obtaining the Big Winner badge, or by purchasing the Cannon from the Frontier Town general store.
[edit] Historical Notes
Before the September 18, 2006 release, the Steam Gunman's hat was tan, instead of changing to reflect the player's color.
The Steam Gunman was not an unlockable unit before the October 18, 2006 release, when he was switched with the Shotgunner.
