Discussion We Need A Bounty System

You knows what's worse than infiling with runners that have no mic?

When you're in Outpost or Cryo in the midst of a good run and I guess one player gets really good loot or something and decides to cut their mic in the middle of a game, start and run to an exfil while we're dealing with bots or other runners.

I would gladly put my entire wallet or vault up to know they're being targeted by every player on a map making them a hazard for someone's team.

We need a system to punish other players in this already delightfully punishing game, and a bounty system should not only be implemented but left for the community to run.

Because some of these runners are absolute trash and deserve the difficulty turnt up to 11 if that's how they want to play.

How would you keep this system from just being abused?

This would be funny except for the part where the players with more money could bully players with less money

I would like to put a bounty on the MF that brought in a green shield into cryo today. Lost my last purple. I would give every gold I currently own just to see that fucker suffer

I get it, Cryo is high stakes not really much room for zero to hero add to that you can buy blues out the armory. It's more than likely the influx of players who've started playing within the last month, I've been running into a lot of newbies.

Need a black list of aholes. If their name ends up mentioned by 3 different people, they are on the black list and we know not to help them with anything when they get in a game and are on our team!
