Kenshi Wiki



Crab Raiders are a bandit faction of Scorchlanders who worship Crabs. They are primarily located in The Pits East, the location of their capital Crab Town, but also have villages in Greenbeach and Stobe's Garden. They are led by the Crab Queen and like other "pit gang" factions, they often engage in border raids and skirmishes with their rivals and share hostility towards United Cities. They will also raid the player outpost, and attack neutral players unless allied.

Their strong Crab Armour, high combat stats and the usage of pet Crab often allows them to win most skirmishes with their rival gangs.

They will host a "Crab Tournament" at a player outpost, seeing you as a rival crab trainer, in order to determine if you are worthy enough to own crabs as well and become crab master.

Note: Player can buy a crab at a Crab shop without being allied to them or doing a tournament. The player cannot, however, buy their Crab Armour without being allied.

Members of this faction can colour armour and clothing due to a colour scheme attached.

Trivia[]

  • Wearing dyed Crab Raider faction armor will make all wild Crab your allies due to it acting as a Disguise.
  • Crab Raider buildings can spawn Holy Nation memorabilia such as Small Emperor Statues, which could imply they are followers of a form of the Okranite faith.
    • This may explain the lack of Scorchlanders living within the Holy Nation, as they may be the descendants of exiles due to their disdain for authority.
    • It could also imply that the Raiders have been living on the south-eastern coast for longer than their rivals such as the Reavers or the Skeleton Bandits.
  • Winning the Crab Tournament is the only way to increase reputation with the Crab Raiders without incurring penalties with the Reavers, Skeleton Bandits and the Skin Bandits however it is rather buggy and not the ideal method.
  • Allying does not decrease your reputation with the United Cities, despite them being hostile to the Crab Raiders.
