Scorpion Swarm
Level 4 Wildlife · Badlands Canyon - Northern Trail
Scorpion Swarm is a level 4 wildlife found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A seething mass of desert scorpions disturbed from beneath a flat sandstone ledge. Their stings are individually manageable; together they are lethal.
What you are walking into
Scorpion Swarm is level 4, carries 35 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. 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 Scorpion Swarm plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Scorpion Swarm
Scorpion Swarm is encountered at Badlands Canyon - Northern Trail. 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 Badlands Canyon - Northern Trail covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 55 experience and between $1 and $3. Its loot table can yield Scorpion Chitin and Venom Sac. 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.
