  We investigate the survivor distributions of a spatially extended model of
competitive dynamics in different geometries. The model consists of a
deterministic dynamical system of individual agents at specified nodes, which
might or might not survive the predatory dynamics: all stochasticity is brought
in by the initial state. Every such initial state leads to a unique and
extended pattern of survivors and non-survivors, which is known as an attractor
of the dynamics. We show that the number of such attractors grows exponentially
with system size, so that their exact characterisation is limited to only very
small systems. Given this, we construct an analytical approach based on
inhomogeneous mean-field theory to calculate survival probabilities for
arbitrary networks. This powerful (albeit approximate) approach shows how
universality arises in survivor distributions via a key concept -- the {\it
dynamical fugacity}. Remarkably, in the large-mass limit, the survival
probability of a node becomes independent of network geometry, and assumes a
simple form which depends only on its mass and degree.
