Dust Bandit
Level 13 Bandit · The Badlands
Dust Bandit is a level 13 bandit found in the Sangre Territory of Desperados Destiny.
Field notes
A road-agent who works the Badlands trails, riding out of the heat-shimmer to rob anyone fool enough to cross alone.
What you are walking into
Dust Bandit is level 13, carries 130 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. 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 Dust Bandit plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Dust Bandit
Dust Bandit is encountered at The Badlands. 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 The Badlands covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 320 experience and between $35 and $75. Its loot table can yield Stolen Goods and Contraband. 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.
