Claim Squatter
Level 4 Bandit · Abandoned Mine
Claim Squatter is one of the bandit threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 4.
Field notes
A desperate prospector who has legally "claimed" this worthless played-out hole. Paranoid and armed; attacks any competitor on sight.
What you are walking into
Claim Squatter is level 4, carries 44 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 Claim Squatter plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Claim Squatter
Claim Squatter is encountered at Abandoned Mine. 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 Abandoned Mine covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 72 experience and between $2 and $4. Its loot table can yield Stolen Goods and Copper Ore. 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.
