Wildgate Prospectors Guide: All Characters and Abilities
Written by Andrew Hammel | Wildgate
Prospectors in Wildgate are your playable crew. Each one has fixed stats and passive abilities that define their role in ship combat, boarding, and exploration. You can’t change their traits, so choosing the right prospector is key to your loadout and team strategy.
Venture (Explorer)
Robot: No oxygen needed
Explorer: Heals faster outside ships
Cameron: Radar camera auto-scans behind him in a cone up to 18m
Health: 100
Great for scouting POIs and outdoor healing. Weak in close-range fights but good for info gathering.
Sammo (Ship Defender)
Begone!: Heals fully after blasting a prospector on his ship
The Quiet: Sees players through walls at 20m, only on his own ship
Large Frame: +20% health
Health: 120
Best defender in the game. Tanky, with strong utility to protect the ship from boarders.
Sal (Engineer)
Custom Multitool: Repair tool hits a second target
Salvage: Recycle unwanted items for random gear
Robot Body: +20% health, no weak spot
Health: 120
Essential for keeping ships functional. Can solo-manage repairs and craft backup items mid-match.
Ion (Boarder)
Battering Ram: Destroys ship parts in melee, kills prospectors in one hit
Four Arms: Stowed weapon reloads in 1 second
Health: 120
Top-tier boarding unit. High-risk, high-reward. Dominate tight corridors but weak at range.
Mophs (Boarder)
Camouflage: Turns invisible at any item for 15 seconds
Wings: Flies 30% faster
Small Frame: -20% health
Health: 80
Stealth-focused boarder. Fast and evasive, but very fragile. Best used for ambush or recon.
Adrian (Boarder)
Jet Pack: Replaces Maghook, allows burst movement
Wings: Flies 30% faster
Health: 100
Good mobility for quick insertions. No combat perks or tech tools, so use hit-and-run tactics.
Kae (Boarder)
Telekinetic: Interact with objects from 10m
Warp Jump: One-time teleport up to 100m (replaces Maghook)
Health: 100
Useful for fast escapes, surprise flanks, and safe looting. Teleport is strong but single-use.
Final Blurb
Each prospector in Wildgate brings a fixed kit built around boarding, support, defense, or exploration. Ion and Sammo are strong core picks for most teams, while Sal and Kae offer high value in smart hands.
Knowing your role and using your abilities well is what separates good crews from dead ones.
