Bounty Broker?

[harken23]

Since I started the game, there's been a message to "Return to the Bounty Broker for your free bladed wrench!" I'm roughly 10 hours in, and haven't seen or heard anything about this person yet. What is it? I'll go pick the thing up, just to get it off my screen!

If I have, it was in a previous save with a different community. The message has been on screen since I started.

Active bounties carry over between communities. You must have met him in a previous playthrough and forgot about it.

I started a new community, because I wanted to start over from scratch. But I guess I didn't? I deleted the old save, but only after I'd started the new one. I'm too far in, now (and frankly not much enjoying it anyway) to start over again. Maybe time to uninstall for a while again.

You did start over. It's just that, like I said, active bounties carry over. They are not tied to a community, but to your account.

The author should research the Bounty Broker so there's no misunderstanding. You're not required to deal with the broker but it's to your advantage to do so, especially early in game.

Bounty quests are well posted by Ladez to explain why you still see the bounty award.

If you quit it's just what the zeds wanted. Take your challenge to them... not the other way.

It's mostly that I have a message on my screen about someone I've never met (this time round, anyway), doesn't show up in the list of missions, and never goes away. Doesn't even say where it is, and I didn't know (or forgot since playing the first group) that it even existed. It looks like a bug. And I'm guessing it doesn't go away when you pick up your prize, either.

Unless you activate another bounty, it goes away when you turn it in. Only active bounties are shown, and you decide which ones are active.

Take users advice if you wish to pursue your desire.

Special Traders are the Bounty Broker, Mysterious Wandering Trader, and Rare Skills Trader.

These unique individuals are briefly covered in the manual found on your library page.
They are also high performance assets when you understand their presence.

Wiki has detailed info about Broker and the other two traders you need to know about.
If it seems complicated take them one at a time and keep going over it.

The most difficult aspect of SoD2 is the amount of info you need to know to survive.

yes if the message is on your missions or quests it just means u have already met him just find the blue bag on the map for me he has been a lil pond

He's a fat guy in a van with a cowboy hat. You can accept the rewards and choose other bounties along the way. Total of 3 at any one time. There are a couple of crafting rewards that are actually quite good as well as some wardrobe outfits. Some of the bounties are easy to achieve cause you have to shooting ferals anyway over the course of the game.
