RDO Bounty Hunter: gang bounties

[Kuba_Q]

I finally acquired the bounty wagon, but when I started gang bounty mission, all I could find was the gang leader. There were no multiple targets like in case of multiple assassination missions. What's up with that? Are gang bounties restricted to posse members only?

There are gang bounties where you have multiple targets but can only catch one per mission, IDK if it's restricted to the new bounties or if some older ones behave like that too. Check back with the bounty board where you picked up the mission, there should be a head crossed off on the poster now

Legendary bounties become 1 star harder each time you play them again and that sometimes means you need to catch 2 more targets along with the main target. Like When you do Red Ben mission at 1 star difficulty, you only catch Red Ben himself, but when it's 5 star difficulty, you catch 2 more guys along with him. There are 3 targets. So you toss them all in the wagon.

On regular bounty posters, as you rank up towards rank 20, there are actually multiple bounty targets, (sometimes up to 6, which is quite hard to catch alive all together by yourself because they run, escape) If you are a really agile player and use bolas quickly and effectively while defending yourself meanwhile, it's still doable. But it's better to go for multiple bounties with at least with 1 posse member. You catch all 6 of them, stuff them in the wagon.

On new regular prestigious bounties, there are posters with multiple targets, but you catch them one at a time for each mission. Let's say there's a poster "silly brothers" Each time you play a mission on that poster you will catch 1 of the silly brothers, and the next time on the poster, the one you had caught earlier will have an X mark on their face. You can't play that same poster immediately after you cathed one of the bounties. You need to go do another one, and come back again. There's some cool down time.

Also now with the new update, there some radiant event bounty targets that spawn on the map. (just like hideouts, moonshine bootlegger missions, a red circle) Those bounties are very easy to catch, they are usually alone, and the delivery destination is super long for some reason, and it only pays $1 as a reward. If you are grinding xp, it's fine. Other than that those are just waste of time.

There are also player bounty targets but I really don't know how that actually works. I just saw the pop up a few times saying - player bounty nearby, but was never able to spot them.

Hope this helps.

I does. Immensely. Thank you both.

I started to think that maybe the reason why I had only a single target bounty mission despite choosing a gang poster was that I didn't have my bounty wagon "equipped" while starting the mission. But I had no idea that some gang bounties are designed this way (that you catch them one by one).

As for playing solo on an multiple targets mission - I usually try silent approach first anyway. It should help some (depending on the mission design). But I understand that players can use tracking arrow that prevents targets to escape (or at least makes it's harder since target stays detected from greater distance and is also slower). I haven’t ordered this pamphlet yet.

BTW. What's the deal with reinforced lasso? Is it normal that targets still can break free from it? Does it only make it less likely?

Also - is there a way to hit the bounty (put him to sleep) anytime I want while he’s on horseback? Or is it always a QTE sort of thing?
