Drilling Crew Laborer
Level 13 Bandit · Settler Drilling Site
Drilling Crew Laborer is a level 13 bandit found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A company laborer doing a dangerous job for daily wages. Not ideologically committed to the drill operation — just employed. He defends the site because Briggs told him to.
What you are walking into
Drilling Crew Laborer is level 13, carries 143 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. 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 Drilling Crew Laborer plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Drilling Crew Laborer
Drilling Crew Laborer is encountered at Settler Drilling Site. 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 Settler Drilling Site covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 234 experience and between $5 and $13. Its loot table can yield Scrap Metal and Coal. 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.
