“ Anybody ever disrespects you - I'll kill 'em! ”

–Maniacal Personality

Drifters are randomly-named members of several factions. Depending on their squad they can be part of the: Drifters, Tech Hunters, Mongrel, Flotsam Ninjas, Holy Nation Outlaws, and Vagrants. They can be found squatting in many towns as well as patrolling some zones. Their race is randomly determined by their faction.

Drifters that are members of the Tech Hunters can be recruited as bodyguards and outpost guards for the same rate as members of the Mercenary Guild.

They have a 4% chance of having a bounty ranging from 1 to 4000 Cats.

Drifter characters have a chance of triggering recruitment dialogue if they are healed by the player. They have a random Personality but are more likely to be recruited if Honorable. After being recruited, they will have the "Player TOUGH Merc" dialogue package.

They have NPC Shopping Behavior and can potentially purchase Basic First Aid Kit, Bread, Cactus Rum, Splint Kit, and Water items.
