Bounty Hunter Archive

Okay, I noticed that if you have a weak weapon equipped when you choose a mission the mission payouts are less. So, I reasoned that if the payouts are less the missions must be easier. This was what I was looking for - I wanted some slighty easier missions (I keep getting by butt handed to me on the high paying missions and was sick of visiting the cloning center).

I take a mission for 5000 credits (I am still a novice BH with no Invest. yet.). I was thinking that this would be an easier mission. I get to my mark and it is still a red who hands me butt yet again.

If the mark is always going to be a difficult kill then why bother with the different payouts depending on what weapon you have equiped? Why not just make every bounty a set price (preferably the price as if you had the LLC equipped) and have the amount go up with each branch of the investigation tree? I mean if I have to kill a red to get 7500 or 4500 why the heck even give me the 4500 option? This just does not make sense to me.

I know the first thing that someone is going to say to me is "well you just don't know how to take down your mark". Well, that may be true. I am not a power gamer. I do not even play a lot. I do not have a lot of knowledge about good fighting techniques in this game. However, all of that aside, it still does not make sense to have the same difficulty in a mark for lesser money.

Anyway, I just needed to vent a little. I was starting to get pretty frustrated.

Well, the marks actually areeasier. It's just that they're still tough as hell. Me, I always go for the highest paying missions, because they're usually more fun.

what level are you? If its that hard you might wanna level up before you take missions. Make sure you exam them from about the 70m range so they don't attack before your ready. See what they are most vulnerable to (heat, acid, energy) and choose your weapon. Hit them first and keep your distance. Make them bleed and run if you have to.

Best advice I have would be to either get a non-ch pet, (don't know how they work after patch though) or level up a bit first. Send in the pet, use underhand, bleed him and eyeshot if you've got it. Also do you have any medic skills? Get Novice Medic and a crate of good stim-b's, then make a macro for /healdamage self and key map it to a key you dont use. (I use insert, as it's close to my main attack f-keys) With the ham's we eat up with rapid pistol and expensive carb costs, medic is a pretty good choice.

My rockbeetle works pretty good on marks. The mark usually takes away about half his ham, but no big deal. I usually do confusion, fkd, and then either use pistol or llc to finish him off, never fails.

Here are some tips for U! 1) Put your pistol on your action bar so you can equip and unequip it fast. 2) Make sure you have burst run and a bleed on your action bar. 3) Bleed your mark and immediately unequip your gun. (lol... do not do this in melee distance) Then burst run away... keep your mark at about 70 to 90 meters. Let it bleed... if you have torso shot use it. Use the best bleeds you have and kite the mark. By kitting I mean litterally run around as if your mark was a kite following you. Only enter fighting range to re-apply bleeds. Also don't forget suppression shot and warning shot these can help you keep your marks at a distance. If you have any kind of Knock Down shots use em but watch your ham... hope this helps

Take a food buff for the ham issues. I use Breath of Heaven.
