BH Missions (General BH missions)

The Layout of a BH Mission

Beginners: A Bounty Hunter terminal. Enlarge A Bounty Hunter terminal.

Step 1 - Get a mission (you'll have to find a BH mission terminal.)

Step 2 - Talk to a SpyNets Ops at your investigation level (AKA "Informant" - at one of the locations in the list above.)

Step 3 - Find and eliminate your bounty at the given waypoint on the same planet you are on.

Advanced / Experts: Step 1 - Get a mission (BH terminals)

Once you reach advanced/expert, the best place to go for missions and signatures is Dearic on Talus by the cloning center, as both the mission terminal and the Spynet rep are standing close to each other. It is right on the edge of the already small town allowing you to get outside quickly to call down your droid from space.

Step 2 - Talk to your Informant and obtain their Bio Signature (SpyNet Ops - they'll be harder to find now.)

Step 3 - Leave the city far enough to call an Arakyd droid from orbit. Call the droid (select find or track from the droid's radial menu.)

Step 4 - The droid drops from orbit and is now called "Imperial Probot Base". Go up to it and use option 2 from your radial menu to upload the bounty's biological signature.

Step 5 - Wait for the droid to locate the target (approx. 3 minutes).

Step 6 - Go to the planet the arakyd droid found the target on. (This is not a recently updated waypoint, but left from when if found what planet the target was on.)

Step 7 - Send out a seeker droid (find or track, tracking is better if you have the skill to do it).

Currently, you can use multiple seekers to update your target waypoint by selecting the Find and Track option over and over again really quickly after releasing the first droid. When it finally registers the first droid has left, you will be unable to send more seekers until one of them fails to locate your target. I still have heard no word if this is considered an exploit or not, so use at your own risk. (More people point to the fact that tracking with seekers at master level does not consume any droids, than to this type of use, as it limits the amount of seekers a BH has to buy, in turn cutting Droid Engineer's potential income.)

Step 8 - After seeker locates the target, travel to the new waypoint and eliminate your target. (You can start traveling to the waypoint your Arakyd droid gave you, but your bounty probably moved far away while you were traveling to the planet.) You may have to send more than one seeker to pin down their location, and the targets are often moving (trying to get to a starport or something).

If, for some reason, the bounty is on the planet you are on - in other words, if you're lucky - you could potentially find the target by sending out a seeker after getting the mission and speaking with the informant (skipping the arakyd step), and not be required to call an Arakyd droid from orbit. Just realize that once you've started tracking, you can't keep sending out droids to track until the first one is done.
