WANTED: LEGENDARY BOUNTIES (September 17th)

[Fatsanchez]

Im now at Collector lvl 20, Trader lvl 20 and BH lvl 1 (just started it). Also got to level 70 in the Club thing. It was actually really quick. You just have to 1- be unemployed and 2- play for long stretches of time. Then you can 3- profit, but 4- not really because the bills irl just keep on coming. No matter how much you implore to god. Damn Bills.

[Non Funkable Token]

Collector is a non stop thing, even if you don't look too much into it (lvl 17 here). Trader, meh, lvl 6, hunting near your camp and donating to Cripps gives some speed boost. BH, that's a real grind (lvl 2) at least for me.

This. I am Trader 6 and Bounty Hunter 4 playing every night with a full time corporate job. My Club level is 33 (I think). If I had kids I'm sure my progress would be even lower.

Before Trader 5 I found Re-Supply Missions the best source of Trader XP. Once you get your hands on a Medium Cart, though, you start making 1000+ XP by completing a single local delivery (plus the cash from the sale).

I'm lucky, I get to play during the day when I should be working, but my days of 5-6 hour sessions are over.

 

That being said, I found the Trader and Collector progression a breeze, easily hit rank 20 in both quickly once I got into it. Bounty hunting is a totally different story, but that's mostly down to the bugs, I'm rank 9 at the moment, but would probably be rank 14 or 15 if I'd received the xp from all the missions I've completed.

 

Unless R* fix it quickly I'm either going to have to settle in for a long grind or piggy back off someone who is a higher rank so I can get more xp from the higher level missions they have access to.

Yeah I agree 100%, I hit Collector lvl 20 very quickly, it totally fits my playstyle. I really like the exploration. In fact thats what I meant to say in my previous post but I got carried away by the joke lol.

[Shadowfennekin]

I just wish people would join your posse, one could level up Trader super f*cking quick if people would f*cking join so more than one resupply bag spawns.

 

600 x 2 = 1200!

3 = 1800!

 

Everyone gets that too.... best I've had is a level 9 join yesterday, thanked him by starting Hunt the Leader and then followed up with some bounties.

I session hopped six f*cking times just to get that one guy too

All the RDR fan friends I have quit, so I'm a lone wolf making the best of what I get

It amazes me when I see people say they are already at Trader level 20 and I think to myself "How much do you play the game? Like hours a day?" and I want them to be honest. I can get about two or three hours on a good day and that's I can be arsed or I am not watching something on TV and I am level 5 in Trader.

 

People claimed to have level 20 in Trader a few days after the Update dropped.

BH take more time to get 20, but collector and trader after lvl 5 are very fast and give lots of regular xp, what makes easy outlaw pass 70.

 

I usually play red dead 1h per day, but rushed 6-7h/day after update, got outlaw pass lvl 70 in 3 days, and all roles on lvl 20 after 5 or 6 days. Now I'm back to work, playing 1h/day.

Okay, so I feel better now. What you did in 3 days would take a more casual player closer to 10 days.

 

You logged 18 hours in 3 days and that would take me well over a week playing 1-2 hours in the evenings (3 times longer to max the Outlaw Pass)., and to get level 20 in the Roles you logged 30 hours which would take me two weeks at my pace.

This sh!t, is fantastic.

So it's exactly like a wave 10 survival solo? Or even better with all bullet sponge NPCs at 100% dead eye efficiency?

[FrikkenZz]

I got 4 kids, but have a sweet work schedule, where I am at work 3 or 4 days in one stretch and then got 7 days off. I also have a loving wife that is ok with me gaming in the evenings after the kids have been put to bed. It dosnt hurt that I often game into the night hours either(with four kids we dont need any more). In the one week I have had to game after this update Ive hit lvl 70 in the pass. And got all roles above 11. And I havent really grinded for xp much. Collector is at rank 16 iirc, and that levels itself. Gained two levels by doing one salvage event for example. Trader and Bounty Hunter isnt hard either, but I got friends which I help doing sales/supply runs with and bounties with more than one target which boosts xp alot. It helps that I have been a gamer my entire life and know how to powerlevel if I want to. I havent done that this update tho. I've just been helping friends and done whatever I wanted. I've done much of what I did before the update, with the only exception that I don't think Ive touched my beloved fishing rod.

Have you tried messaging people? I get posse invites but it’s never occurred to me they may want help with that kind of thing, I just ignore the invites

[RaigeGames]

 

Just logged in the the first time today and was met with this message. Loaded in and sure enough I was $456 richer, but have no idea why I was given this money. I play on xbox so it's not like I should have gotten any items for free. Any ideas what it could be from?

[Happy Hunter]

Bounty Hunter is the slowest to rank up definitely. I had a friend invite me to some of the harder missions that don't unlock early on, that helped me rank up a little faster. These supposedly harder missions are often easier in my opinion anyway, the tracking ones at least.

Maybe from all the disconnections, bugs, wiped daily challenges streaks, etc.? Could be they're giving everyone something?

 

Wishful thinking though I expect.

The Bounty Missions are ass backwards. The low end easy Bounties have huge Posses, hideouts or are an actual travelling Gang with Maxim Gun Wagons and the harder, tougher Bounties are snow backs sat alone at sh*tty camp who surrender the moment you get near them?

[Shadowfennekin]

I really feel the "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Outlaw pass is too quick to level" people are taking it for granted.

You only leveled it up because there's actually stuff to do!

I hope it stays 1k per level, especially if they add more in 'filler updates' like the previous update. The missions weren't filler... but there was only five, and once you did them.... that was pretty much it. Nothing else to do unless you get turned on by shooting other players all day. And sure, right now you may be fascinated with collecting, bounties, and traders.... but that's because it's new! Give it a few months and majority of players will have grown bored, much like we did with Stranger missions, and grinding the same 10 PvE missions we've had forever.

 

Also allows you to take a break and come back without going 'Oh no, it's November and I'm only level 50!'. No worries while you're playing Outer Worlds next month

I'm already seeing my new trend once I max out Bounty Hunter. 1 Legendary Bounty with friends followed by Hunting + Herb picking while visiting nearby Wild Flower and Dig Sites. I hear you can also load up the Hunting wagon with a bunch of Large fish. Sounds lucrative...

You can? That's weird seeing how Cripps won't accept fish.

I only know that as when I visited the butcher to sell a tooth yesterday, I saw a sh*t ton of wolf hearts. Along with some daily challenge fish I caught pre-update but never sold/broke

It's like how people did it prior to the update. Fill up the wagon and sell to butcher. Forget how many fish you can fit in the Hunting Wagon. At least now you don't have to hassle with tossing fish in the wagon.

I think it's 5 large fish, haven't tried it yet though, still levelling BH.

 

Once I'm done with that I can definitely see plenty of 5 Pike sales to the Valentine butcher in my future.

I never tried fish yet. I threw five perfect Cougar carcasses and fifty various pelts into my hunting wagon Fifty in total. Sold most of the pelts and skins, except for several perfect Cougar pelts. I currently still have the five carcasses, and am up to eleven perfect cougar pelts. I'll sell everything when I get to fifty pelts.

That's quite a haul. I'll be using the wagon as a bank when I get into my post levelling routine, where I hunt I'll be storing perfect Whitetail Buck carcasses along with perfect medium pelts from any subsequent Buck, deer and sheep, then selling it all when full, with a few easy fish sale runs mixed in.

 

I know keeping the Trader business going would be more profitable than selling to the butcher, but I'm planning to mix my hunting with metal detector Collector searching as it fits my play style better.

[Shadowfennekin]

I'm going to try and balance both Hunting and Trading after maxing everything out.... which may take awhile as Bounty hunter won't stop glitching out..... I don't normally do the 'sit around and wait for last 30 seconds' crap, but I'm doing it because I am sick of that glitch cheating me of XP

 

Trader is 12

Collector 11

Bounty Hunter.... 6 lol Aside from the glitch, there's no big XP dump like Trader has Selling missions and each supply bag is 600 XP.... if you have four people, that's almost a full level! And finishing a collection nets you a lot of Collector XP. Whenever I notice a collection 5 or less short of being complete, I go ahead and pull up a video so I can finish it and get that delicious XP.

 

Now that I got a wagon, it's easier and quicker to fill up my material bar to the max. So I can comfortably put more time into Bounty hunting and try to let it catch up. I really want that eyepatch so my bounty hunter look is complete

 

Start Bounty

Sit outside destination with bounty while playing Marvel Strike Force.

Wait until last 30 seconds for maximum XP and some extra money. The XP is the main point here, money and gold is just a bonus!

 

I'm going to retire from bounty and collecting, until a 50% extra or maybe even a double money event at least, once they reach 20. Bounty hunting is fun.... but repetitive and not a high payout rate. I'd love to hunt players... but nobody has a $20 bounty lol, only griefers do

[kjahcleveland]

At least the legendary bounties are a reason to hunt bounties again. Now that I’m 20 in all 3 roles I just hunt bison for cripps and make $625 long distance sales all the time while picking up collector items on the side, it’s pretty nice.

What happens if someone sets your wagon on fire?

How long does it usually take between cougars spawning? It always seems to take a while before seeing another one

It gets destroyed, and they pay insurance. But it keeps everything in it, just like a satchel. Even if you quit the game and start it up later.

 

The cougar that spawns near the windmill, south of Blackwater. I can kill one, ride to the Butcher in Blackwater, then ride back and another will have spawned. The bounty hunter mission glitch that puts you in a solo session also helps with that, and just about anything else you want to spawn.

There's a glitch to get into a solo session? That still works? Thanks for the info

That is an upside to the bounty hunter mission glitch. The screen fades to black and you are in a session all by yourself. Going after the bounty isn't worth it, especially compared to the spawn rate of animals, dynamic events, and even gang hideouts.

[Leftover Pizza]

I'm curious to what tomorrow will bring, besides a new legendary bounty and the weekly collectors request.
