Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter is one of the eight professions as a character can select on Empire in Flames. It's a starting profession, and can be selected in the character creation page. It gives the character access to the Bounty Hunter terminals, where they can find and locate specific targets for clients. As it stands now, Empire in Flames does not have any way for player bounties to go on the terminals, but this feature has been hinted at as future content.

Those who don't select to create a Bounty Hunter during character creation will need to seek out a Bounty Hunter trainer to acquire the novice box. A character will need to drop their existing profession to unlock this box, and begin leveling it up.

## How to Level Up Bounty Hunter

Like all professions, Bounty Hunter has 16 boxes a character will need to master before reaching Master Bounty Hunter. Of the 16 boxes, 12 of them require Combat Experience to unlock, while four require Investigation, which is unique to the Bounty Hunter profession. Combat Experience is earned by a character participating in combat and defeating a foe with any melee or ranged weapon.

When a character wishes to gain experience points for Investigation, they must accept bounties from a Bounty Terminal.

## How Hunting Bounties Works

When a Bounty Hunter is ready to hunt down a target, they must accept a hunt from a Bounty Hunter terminal on Empire in Flames. A character can find them throughout the galaxy. They will appear on the Planetary Map, and will exclusively appear by clicking the "Terminal" tab, and underneath the "Mission Terminal" category. Every Bounty Hunter Mission Terminal location will be shown on a character's planetary map as a pin, and clicking that pin allows character to make a custom waypoint to that location.

These are many of the standard waypoints where a character can find Bounty Hunter terminals in NPC cities.

The next step is to speak with a Spymaster while you have an active bounty in your missions. It is a race against time, and it is advised you seek out a Spymaster to help you track down the target as quickly as possible. For Novice Bounty Hunters won't have to worry about using more advanced droids, but as you level up the Investigation line to Investigation I, the targets are more elusive, and you will need to use Arakyd Probe Droids and Seeker Droids. The Arakyd Probe Droids will determine what planet where you can find your target, and the Seeker droid will pinpoint their exact location on that planet. You can only use the Seeker droid to track down the target if the two of you are on the same planet.

There are several Spymasters a Bounty Hunter can use to help track down their target on Empire in Flames, broken up into Novice and Master Spymasters. A Novice Spymaster can only help you while taking Bounty Hunter Missions between Investigation boxes I and II, whereas the Master Spymasters can assist you with any Bounty Hunter Terminal Mission. It's recommended to seek these out as they will always provide information on a Bounty Hunter's target, but the choice is up to the player.

These are all the locations where you can find Novice Spymasters in Empire in Flames.

Once a character has a location for their bounty with the help of the Spymaster, the Arakyd Probe Droid, and the Seeker droid after they've arrived on the planet, the last objective is to eliminate the target. The Bounty Hunter will need to defeat the target before they reach to a Starport, or the target will fly off world and the Bounty Hunter must use another Arakyd Probe Droid to track them down.

Investigation, Combat Experience, and credits for finishing the Bounty Hunter Mission are awarded at the end after the target has fallen. Unlike other missions on Empire in Flames, a Bounty Hunter may only accept one Bounty Hunter mission at a time.

## All Bounty Hunter Skills

Every box in the Bounty Hunter Profession tree rewards a character with unique Commands and Abilities. These provide unique certification to weapons, or diverse skills to use in or out of combat. Beyond the Novice and Master Bounty Hunter boxes, there are 16 a character must unlock before they can become a Master Bounty Hunter, unlocking the greatest skills, and earning the Master Bounty Hunter badge. It is important to note that any Bounty Hunter Ability unlocked in this tree can be used on any weapon that a character uses, even while wielding the Light Lightning Cannon. However, the exclusive Light Lightning Cannon abilities does require a character to be holding that specific weapon, or to craft and use the Electro Gauntlet.

These are all of the Bounty Hunter Skills boxes, what they unlock, and the amount of experience a character needs to earn to learn it in Empire in Flames.

## All Bounty Hunter Ability Stats

The Bounty Hunter abilities a character unlocks as they progress through the Bounty Hunter tree gives them access to multiple attacks that can be used with nearly any weapon. Beyond the attacks that require a Light Lightning Cannon or an Electro Gauntlet, any Bounty Hunter attack can be used with any ranged or melee weapon. However, they are not all the same. Some have different damage modifiers, speed modifiers, have unique state effects against an opponent, and some are single target while others are made to hit multiple targets.

Here's a full breakdown of the stats for every Bounty Hunter Ability on Empire in Flames.
