Summit Rattlesnake
Level 4 Wildlife · Widow's Peak
Summit Rattlesnake is one of the wildlife threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 4.
Field notes
A high-altitude pit viper, smaller than its lowland cousins and faster on cold rock. Its venom delivery is quicker than a rattlesnake has any right to be at this elevation.
What you are walking into
Summit Rattlesnake is level 4, carries 36 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 Summit Rattlesnake plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Summit Rattlesnake
Summit Rattlesnake is encountered at Widow's Peak. 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 Widow's Peak covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 48 experience and between $2 and $4. Its loot table can yield Venom Sac and Snake Venom. 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.
