About this mod Machine translation

The Bounty Expansion is back with an expanded and enhanced remaster. This mod is designed to expand and enhance the bounty hunting activity in the game, providing endless quests and random encounters in the world. Auto-generated bounties, random encounters, completely reworked enemy AI, tons of bug fixes, and more.

Install

  • Download and install Script Hook RDR2 (script hook)
  • Make sure you have an asi loader, which usually comes with Scripthook.
  • Copy the unzipped *BountiesExpansion.asi* and *BountiesExpansion* folders to the root directory of the game.
  • Make sure you have full read and write permissions on the "BountiesExpansion" folder.

quick start

  • Head to one of the new bounty poster spots you see on the map.

-Collect posters.

  • Reach the target location.
  • Capture the target.
  • Deliver the target to the town police station and claim your reward.

random events

This mod features various random events to make the bounty hunting experience more vivid.

  • Rival bounty hunters will appear in town to collect posters just like you. If you let them escape with the poster, the chances of them chasing your target (and blocking your way) increase.
  • Capture your target alive and you may see them publicly hanged in the city a few days later.
  • The bounty hunter who captured the target will appear in the wilderness and go to the police station to turn it in. You can capture objectives halfway and get rewards for yourself.

Improved enemy AI

Enemy AI is much improved over the first version of the mod, allowing you to take advantage of stealth.

  • Enemies will have a harder time detecting you if you use silent weapons, walk while crouching, or hide in foliage.
  • Enemy hearing and vision range are affected by the environment: weather conditions, time of day, etc.
  • Enemies can now be lured to other locations. Blow a short whistle or shoot arrows or throwing knives near them to attract them.
  • Bounty targets will spontaneously untie themselves when tied up. If they are injured, their chances of trying to escape are reduced.

You can hit them on horseback to prevent them from escaping.

Additional features and miscellaneous

  • Any gang member can be tied up and handed over alive at all police stations to receive rewards.
  • Bounty posters are scattered throughout the map and in post offices.
  • All missions are automatically generated, including target name, mission location, mission difficulty, etc.
  • Bounty posters have the same look and feel as the original mechanics, with original animations and user interface.
  • Law enforcement and bystanders will react and greet you when delivering a bounty target to a guardian.
  • Mission sets will spawn before reaching their locations, allowing you to snipe your targets from a distance or plan your stealth.
  • Added Annesburg and dozens of new quest locations.
  • Rewards vary from town to town based on their wealth and demand for bounty hunting services.
  • Targets further away from town will receive higher bounties.

Known Issues - The mod cannot differentiate between saved games. If this is a problem for you, go into the BountiesExpansion folder and clear the contents of PoliceDepts.dat except for the line that looks like "next_id=X". Don't delete the file completely!

  • Using keyboard and mouse settings: The ESC key does not work when viewing a bounty poster - you must press the F key. On a gamepad controller it works fine.
  • Looting bounty targets may result in minor honor loss.
  • Sometimes targets spawn in enclosed tents. Replaying the mission may spawn it in a different place.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
