Content: Some of these bounties have multiple targets and can be pretty challenging so this role is best performed in a posse (though it is not required). Best Part of being a Bounty Hunter
This is a very fun role that centers on PvE
It becomes exceptionally more fun if you are in a posse
The Legendary Bounties are pretty elaborate and well crafted
You earn gold as part of your payment
Worst parts of being a Bounty Hunter
It does not make as much money as the other roles
Some of the higher quality bounties require you to capture multiple targets and this is really tough without a posse
Progression
There are 20 ranks in the Bounty Hunter role and 4 stages (Novice, Promising, Established, and Distinguished)
Each rank and stage unlocks unique cosmetics, skills, items, and attire specific to the Bounty Hunter
You must purchase the Bounty Hunter License to start this role, it costs 15 Gold Bars
At all ranks and stages, you can access any posted bounty around the map to capture criminals and turn them into a sheriffs office for a reward
At the Novice stage you can purchase the Reinforced Lasso which increases the time it takes for an NPC (or other players if your feeling mischievous) to escape from being hogtied, it costs $350
At the Established stage, you can purchase the Bolas which allow you to temporarily tie up an enemy at range, it costs $30 for 3 (this is a consumable item)
At the Established stage, you can purchase the Bounty Wagon which allows you to stow captured fugitives together before taking them all to the sheriff, it costs $875
Tips
Turning bounties in alive will make more money
Even a hogtied bounty can escape, so keep your wits about you
You will have more fun and be more effective in a posse
1. Moonshiner
Moonshiner HQ is a moonshine shack you can purchase in various locations
Get rich or drunk trying. The Moonshiner is a new role that can make some serious money and offers some more story missions to dig into. This role asks you to do a little of everything: killing, brawling, sneaking, farming (like actually grabbing plants), and driving. In the end, after all the initial investments, you just end up periodically paying a little money to make a lot of money after a quick delivery. What could be better? Best Part of being a Moonshiner
Makes a lot of money but less demanding than the Trader role
You get to own your own bar if you want, you can actually add a bar and band section and turn your dusty moonshine still into a booming speakeasy
Has its own fun story missions
The Bootlegger Missions are pretty unique and fun as well
Worst parts of being a Moonshiner
This new role has a few kinks that need to get worked out (unlimited load screen after missions)
The Bootlegger Missions (side missions not story missions) can actually be a little difficult to do solo, the ones were you have to eliminate roadblocks actually pit you against numerous and tough NPCs
Progression
There are 20 ranks in the Moonshiner role and 4 stages (Novice, Promising, Established, and Distinguished)
Each stage and rank unlocks unique cosmetics, skills, items, and attire specific to the Moonshiner role
To start you need Cripps to introduce you to Maggie Fike, you will then buy a Moonshine Shack from her for 25 Gold Bars to start this role
Initially, you will need to do a story mission to hire the cook that will be making your moonshine
At all ranks and stages, you will need to buy sour mash to make every batch of moonshine, this costs $50 unless you do a Bootlegger MIssion which will reduce the price to either $30 or $40
At the Novice stage, you make moonshine that can earn you about 90$ depending on the flavor you choose
At the Promising stage, you can purchase the Condenser Upgrade for $825 to
