The Skin Bandits Hostile

The Skin Bandits

You will meet the Skin Bandits before you know it. That is the entire point of them.

Skeletons disguising themselves in stitched human skin to pass among the living. Quietly one of the game's most unsettling factions.

Overview

The Skin Bandits are Skeletons who wear stitched-together human skin to disguise themselves and infiltrate. They appear as ordinary travellers until they attack.

Gameplay Impact

They turn a routine traveller encounter into an ambush. Because they pass as human until combat, careless squads can be caught off-guard on the road.

Joining & Reputation

No alliance possible. They are hostile, and revealed Skin Bandits are killed on sight by most factions.

Military Strength

As Skeletons under the skin, they resist cutting damage and are vulnerable to blunt weapons. Their advantage is surprise, not raw power.

Best Uses

Best for: Skeleton-component salvage and the lore reveal of the wasteland's deeper rot.
