Mercenaries are still broken

[Lunethex]

Still white helmets. Wanted system is bugged thanks to previous patches. They will not come after me, no matter what.

[Atomek]

Same here.

White helmets mean they aren't intested in your contract. I think people fail to realize the higher they are up on the merc tree, the less interested lower mercs will be with them and the only ones high enough, will be the final 2-3 tiers.

Step back and think about what you said. What happens when the wanted level in GTA goes up? The stakes are higher; more manpower is devoted to bringing your character down.

In AC:Odyssey, you become #1 mercenary after a while. Sponsors _always_ show up with the bounty on your head, and the wanted system is still affected by your actions, yet nobody bothers to show up. I should be facing off against waves of people who spice up my infiltrations and battles.

The game forcefully auto scales every enemy to your level, so nothing matters. It's broken.

Wow so that's why I can freely walking in front of them with 5 helmets

Yes, their level scales to you, their interest does not. That is why there are tiers of mercenaries and even now that I am close to the final levels of the game, the final tiers still don't come after me, it is jsut the first 1-5.

Crap this sucks. I was hoping against the odds that the new patch would magically fix the problem. But since this game-breaking bug isn’t even acknowledged by Ubi yet, it was unlikely to be fixed.
Really want to jump back into the game but honestly it’s not at all the same without the exhilaration of constantly fighting powerful mercs who are constantly hunting you.

same, bounty hunter system is broken

[Yavanna]

Same here, ran around with 5 helms for about an hour and not a single merc came for me. Been like this since last two patches.

This guy said exactly my thoughts. I'm really bummed because I was loving this game and now I feel like i'm playing a child version of it. Come on DEVS - acknowledge the bug and tell us you're working on it!

Works fine for me

I'm happy for you. For those of us affected by the bug ♥♥♥♥ ain't working for us. But hey thanks for the useful comment. I think i'll just go into every bug report thread and tell people I don't have their bug. That's super helpful.
