Bounties is a game mode that assigns specific tasks players can complete for Reputation and Experience points. Players can receive up to 5 Bounties at a time from the Bounty Tracker in The Tower. Bounties are unlocked at level 6.
- Players should always have 5 Bounties assigned to them because most Bounty assignments overlap with the missions and tasks players are doing anyway.
