The clock, the clues, the banishing and the extraction, and what every step pays. All of it is read from the mission and rules presets in the game files.
Fight solo, in duos, or in trios. Recruit and equip your Hunters, find Clues to locate Boss Targets, and extract the Bounty. Play it safe or risk everything in tense, challenging Missions.
Fight other teams in a single compound, banish the Target, and extract with the Bounty Token! This new PvP-focused contract condenses the Bounty Hunt experience into an action-packed 15 minute round.
A solo-only fight where one Hunter can survive. Start with a simple loadout, scavenge for better weapons, find Rifts to activate the Wellspring, and then survive the target on your back.
Clues, the lair and the kill pay Bounty to the whole team. The token bounty and the underdog bonus are the defaults in the files. The server can raise both per contract, which is what bonus contracts in the lobby do. Rotjaw and Hellborn pay like a boss: 25 to find, 100 to kill, 350 XP to banish.
It takes 30 seconds to extract Bounty Tokens and leave the map, if not blocked by enemy Hunters. If any teammates aren't at the Extraction Point by the end, they will not extract with you. Leaving the Extraction area resets the timer.
You can't extract if one of your teammates has been downed in the Extraction Point area. You must revive them to be able to leave from that Extraction Point.
Watch the lights at the Extraction Point. If they are red, enemy Hunters are nearby. Be prepared for an ambush.
Extraction Points are revealed when you find Clues, banish a Boss Target, pick up a Bounty Token, or find a Scouting Map.
Once banished, each target releases two Bounty Tokens, but you can only carry one Token of the same target at a time.
Looting a dead Hunter while carrying a Bounty Token restores a second of Dark Sight Boost.
On most single-boss Bounty Hunt contracts, the files give an 80% chance of an extra Sealed Bounty. It runs its own 200-second timer, as long as a banish.
Disconnecting only spares your hunter if you're more than 70 m from enemy hunters and not at death's door. Hunters are lost for good from bloodline rank 11.
Attention! The mission will end in 5 minutes. Please exit through an extraction point as soon as possible to keep your Hunter alive.

Odds are the weights on each map's random contract. Themed contracts and events swap in their own.
