Flats Rattlesnake
Level 6 Wildlife · Caliche Flats
In Desperados Destiny, Flats Rattlesnake is a level 6 wildlife — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
A thick rattler coiled in the shade of a creosote bush. The dry flats hide a hundred more like it.
What you are walking into
Flats Rattlesnake is level 6, carries 45 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. 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 Flats Rattlesnake plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Flats Rattlesnake
Flats Rattlesnake is encountered at Caliche Flats. 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 Caliche Flats covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 65 experience and between $6 and $14. Its loot table can yield Venom Sac and Rattlesnake Skin. 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.
