Question: red dead redemption 2 what happens when you have a bounty?
Answer: A Bounty is a price you have to pay - literally - for your crime. The more severe your crime the higher your Bounty will be. Bounties can accumulate, too - so if you commit multiple crimes the Bounties will add up to a higher total. Having a Bounty on your head effectively acts as a low-key Wanted status.
