The Bounty Hunter
Predators in the world’s jungles are gifted in their role; viciously slaughtering their prey for personal gain. For an animal in the Amazon, that gain comes from food and perhaps territory. In the urban jungle of Los Santos, it is the bounty hunters who fulfill this role. Now to be fair, everyone in GTA Online can be a Bounty Hunter. Spot a player with a bounty on their head and you’ve got a little cash. What we’re talking about here are the ones that everyone has seen. The devoted few who will stop at nothing to claim the price on your head with enough weaponry to put Boba Fett to shame.
You know who these people are. After the rigmarole of joining a server, looking around your apartment for a couple of minutes, and then bouncing into every door until you escape, a familiar name starts to pop up in the bottom-left of your screen just above the map. That’s your server’s Bounty Hunter doing their duty. They walk the streets of Los Santos with enough firepower to put down even the greatest of foes and often use a helicopter to gain enough height for a snipe on unsuspecting marks.
To be a true Bounty Hunter in GTA Online it takes guts. It takes courage to know that someone who did enough to warrant a bounty rather than a spot on the naughty step will soon hate you. It takes skill to pick up bounties before anyone else can steal them from under your nose. It also takes a big gun to blow them to kingdom come. When you join a game always make sure to work out who will be out there stalking the rooftops, then get your Danny Glover from Predator 2 on and hide behind as many ne’er-do-wells as possible.
