Bounty Hunting is a miscellaneous repeatable mission in Starfield.
Summary[]
With update 1.12.30, the function of scanning passers-by in cities to search for wanted criminals was added. Criminals are highlighted in red, after scanning (key E on PC) the name, list of crimes, reward and wanted type are displayed. This feature works regardless of whether you have started the Trackers Alliance introductory missions or not. Having detected and scanned the criminal, the mission is activated. In the dialogue, you can convince the criminal to surrender without resistance, attack and kill him, in some cases the choice appears to take a bribe of 500 credits and let him go. If you convince the criminal to surrender, local law enforcement will handle the arrest procedure; you do not need to escort him. If you attack a target without communicating, it will be perceived by others as an illegal assault, and the mission will fail.
Quick Walkthrough[]
- Confront citizen
Detailed Walkthrough[]
Whenever you walk through a major settlement (New Atlantis, Neon, etc.), open up your scanner. Random citizens will be highlighted red, instead of the usual blue. Approach them and scan. The target will be identified with a randomly generated name and a list of crimes will show up on the scanner. Hereafter, speak with the target.
You'll have 3 options:
- Get the criminal to pay hush money.
- Persuade them to surrender peacefully.
- Threaten them into a fight.
Please note that opening fire without first speaking to them will be considered a crime by the local authorities.
After the bounty target surrenders or is killed, the credits will be payed and the missions will be completed.
Rewards[]
Amount of credits of assigned bounty.
