Contested Lands Stalker
Level 28 Wildlife · The Wastes
Contested Lands Stalker is one of the wildlife threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 28.
Field notes
The corruption-warped apex of the Catamount line — a monstrous, mutated great cat that has thrived in the blasted reaches of The Wastes, grown vast and merciless where weaker predators starved.
What you are walking into
Contested Lands Stalker is level 28, carries 400 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a late-game threat for a well-equipped character. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Contested Lands Stalker plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Contested Lands Stalker
Contested Lands Stalker is encountered at The Wastes. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Wastes covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 1000 experience and between $13 and $25. Its loot table can yield Exotic Leather and Predator Claws. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
