Canyon Cutthroat
Level 16 Outlaw · Dead Man's Stretch
Canyon Cutthroat is a level 16 outlaw found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A coordinated pair working the Stretch's mid-section — one fires from distance while the other flanks to close range. A pincer built for terrain where players cannot retreat sideways.
What you are walking into
Canyon Cutthroat is level 16, carries 176 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. 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 Canyon Cutthroat plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Canyon Cutthroat
Canyon Cutthroat is encountered at Dead Man's Stretch. 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 Dead Man's Stretch covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 288 experience and between $6 and $16. Its loot table can yield Stolen Goods, Contraband and Desert Minerals. 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.
