Is it a glitch for me or do you only earn the $75 reward from completing a full infamous bounty (all 3) the first time per bounty board? 

Yes its one time reward not a glitch.

Maybe this has already been discovered / mentioned but I may be able to possibly spoiler something we may get in time for Christmas, if it's not content that was cut etc. There is a Evans Reaper Variant which as the comment 'Winter', not sure if it's going to be free, cost gold or whatever, however I haven't found any images to go with it at this current time.

 

Here is the code:

<Name>LO_MP008_THEMED_VARIANTS</Name>
<Items>
	<Item type="CLoadOutWeapon">
		<WeaponName>WEAPON_REVOLVER_LEMAT</WeaponName> <!-- Bounty Hunter -->
		<Ammo value="100" />
		<Flags />
		<ComponentNames>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REVOLVER_LEMAT_BARREL_BOUNTY</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REVOLVER_LEMAT_GRIP_BOUNTY</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REVOLVER_LEMAT_SIGHT_BOUNTY</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_SHORTARM_ROLE_ENGRAVING_LEMAT_BOUNTY</Item>
		</ComponentNames>
	</Item>
	<Item type="CLoadOutWeapon">
		<WeaponName>WEAPON_REVOLVER_EVANS</WeaponName> <!-- Winter -->
		<Ammo value="100" />
		<Flags />
		<ComponentNames>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REPEATER_EVANS_GRIP_WINTER</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REPEATER_EVANS_SIGHT_WINTER</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_REPEATER_EVANS_WRAP_WINTER</Item>
			<Item>COMPONENT_LONGARM_ROLE_ENGRAVING_EVANS_WINTER</Item>
		</ComponentNames>
	</Item>
</Items>

 

So will have to see if it gets added to the game in the next couple of weeks, if at all since the Winter comment doesn't exactly mean Christmas, so don't hate me if it doesn't happen.

Also, expect the Krampus Double Barrel Shotgun to return, again don't hate me if it doesn't!

As always I've extracted all the files from the update which can be viewed here: https://rdodlc.xyz/files/bh-update/

Please note, it's everything so includes previous update files.

when you look at the names, you can see how many wraps there is for each weapon, and what weapons will get them

Okay I am loving those infamous bounties!

 

I actually feel like an honest.. err, dishonest Bounty Hunter now. I only wished R* would update the game every few months with stuff like this.

I'm hoping this is a positive that comes out of the gold nerf. If enough people start buying gold it might give Rockstar a reason to add content more regularly. Shark cards is what has kept GTA updated for so long. If they are not making money from gold and only from selling copies of the game then there is no reason for them to add content to get players to stick around. Most of us won't buy gold but a lot of new players will if it's not easy to earn. That will give us lots of new free stuff hopefully.

We might get one of the new Infamous Bounties but according to what I have seen and asked there are no dripfeed items like clothing.

[Tez2]

It's crazy how a bit of narrative background behind the infamous bounties makes them a bit more alive or more sophisticated, not sure if that's the right word, but it feels like you're immersed in the Wild West era while hunting those guys.

 

Assassin's Creed Valhalla has this cool feature, a list of  "Order of the Ancients" members who you have to hunt. You start hunting the lower ones to get intel on the bigger ones. Imagine if we get something similar in RDO and it can done with some adjustments to how Legendary Bounties work. We could investigate and hunt members of the gang to get intel on the actual legendary bounty, instead of dropping them with sufficient info of their whereabouts.

Or the Crackdown style where you have a network of targets that you need to dismantle to weaken the Leader so you can finally capture them. You can assault the Leader immediately but it will be insanely hard or you can capture the lower downs to remove levels of defense and make it easier.

 

Imagine the Leader is holed up in Fort Mercer and has four underlings. A Sharpshooter Captain, an Artillery Commander, Guard Captain and the guy who supplies weapons and men. Taking out these would lower the number of enemies, make the Artillery less accurate and spawn fewer Snipers when you finally come to assault the Fort.

 

The underlings would be separate Bounties they release each week, you can try as much as you want to capture the Leader but it will be insanely hard or you can play the weekly Bounties to weaken the Leader.

probably one of the lamest bounties so far, it was just a big shootout at hanging dog ranch

Why would a Del Lobo leader be at Hanging Dog Ranch?

[Shane_Dbns]

This is lame. I was trying out the new bounty and it forced me into using Lock on aiming. I don't understand why Rockstar did this when it never happens on any other mission.

It's because removing lock on seems to be their newest way of arbitrarily adding difficulty to later legendary bounty missions. This doesn't work if you don't have lock on to begin with. I wish they'd actually, y'know, modify the missions to actually add more variety and enjoyment to the more difficult levels but. hey, this is Rockstar we're talking about,

not sure if its random but just did the 2 star version and she was riding around in the war wagon

Why doesn’t Rockstar mute our character during a cutscene/loading screen. Like I know it’s useful for when a mission fails to load you in properly & you have to blow yourself up with dynamite while you’re on infinite loading screen but it kind of seems weird during a cinematic scene.

Rockstar doesn’t fix things like that or more serious issues in the game but they feel that it’s important to make sure that the camera centers properly on our character when we open up the menu. The way Rockstar does things is confusing.

so im reading here that the new bounty hunter license is fun. i did not buy it because i heard the update sucked. so my question is. is it worth it? i dont really care for the stuff you get in it. but if its fun and makes decent money and gold. then i might get it.

Those new Infamous Bounties are fun.
They (for the most part) play different from the normal ones we've had. More storyline, different mission design, etc.
Effective gold pay / hour is a little better for all BH missions, if you turn them in at 10 minutes

That's just the default wraps and components, not the variants that you cannot customise if you apply it to the weapon, the Lemat Variant and Evans Variant were added in the recent update, hence they are LO_MP008_THEMED_VARIANTS.

Because something like El Presidio would’ve made more sense probably but it was too much effort because how focused Rockstar seems to be on GTA5. So instead we got the gold bar ad that is the “Bounty hunter Update”

I don't get why a Del Lobo gang leader would he hold up miles and states away from where their Gang operates.

If you listen to her, she explains she came up this way looking for the bounty hunters that decapitated her family member... Now I don't know who that might of been... but she seemed mighty angry about it.
