Behaviour
- Ranged
- Attacks from distance rather than closing. Breaking line of sight or forcing it into melee removes most of its threat.
- Boss
- Attacks on a 0.7-second cadence instead of the standard 1.1, and announces itself in the message log on spawn. One instance may be alive in its region at a time.

Location
The Kingpin spawns inside the Grindset Blocks, a region of radius 16 centred on 90, 96. It occupies slot 3 of 3 on that spawn table, and being a unique boss it clears only 0.6% of rolls — and only when no other instance is alive. It shares the table with 3 other creatures.
Others on this spawn table
- Street Tagger 160 HP
- Corner Dealer 200 HP
- Block Enforcer 210 HP
Strategy
- Close the gap. It loses most of its output once you are inside its minimum range.
- Only one may be alive in the region at a time — clear the trash first so nothing adds mid-fight.
