| − | Bounty hunter missions reward players by requiring them to track down and kill npc and jedi player targets. Bounty hunters obtain their missions from exclusive Bounty Hunter mission terminals to which only they can have access to. Bounty hunters are allowed only 1 bounty mission at a time however they may also pick up another mission type in addition to their bounty. Bounty hunter missions come in 3 tiers - Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. Which tier a bounty hunter is in depends on the hunter's Bounty Mission Difficulty modifier. Each level of bounty mission difficulty modifier pushes the bounty hunter into the next subsequent tier. The bounty mission difficulty modifier also affects the mission payout cap and minimum payout range for each tier's missions.

| |
| − | In order for the player to be able to seek out a bounty mark, the player must first obtain a mission from the bounty hunter terminal and then seek out a special npc called a [[Spynet Operative (Game Mechanics)|Spy Net Operative]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once a player has interacted with the Spynet Operative, they may now begin their mission.

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are a number of important bits of information to know about a mission which are viewable through the mission details on the mission terminal or on the mission itself in the player's datapad.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The parts of a Bounty Hunter mission details are:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Target
| |
| − | * Location
| |
| − | * Creator
| |
| − | * Reward
| |
| − | * Difficulty
| |
| − |

| |
| − | '''Target'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is the npc or player that needs to be killed in order for the player to obtain their reward.

| − | '''Location'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bounty missions do not display locations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Creator'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The name of the mission creator.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Reward'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is the payout to the player in credits for successfully completing the mission. Mission payout reward formula is currently unknown.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Difficulty'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Challenge rating of the mission depends on the player and their pet's combined challenge levels. Other players and pets in the group do not affect the difficulty level of a bounty hunter mission. The bounty hunter's bounty mission difficulty affects the floor or base min and maxium credit rewards for missions but Difficulty level in bounty missions increases the minimum payout amount offered.

| − | == Using Seeker Droids ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Seeker probe droids are used to update the initial waypoint coordinate for the bounty hunter player who is working on interplanetary bounty missions (Investigation I through master bounty hunter). Seeker probe droids may be used by a bounty hunter who has acquired the Droid Find ability (Investigation 1). With the droid find ability, players get a new option when examining seeker probe droid controllers in their inventory. Only one seeker probe droid can be active at any time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Seeker probe droid controllers have two usable option: Find Bounty Target; Find and Track Target.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Find Bounty Target'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To use a seeker droid controller to summon an seeker droid, the player must first acquire a biological signature from the appropriate spynet operative and then they may use the Probe Droid Command radial menu and choose the Find Bounty Target radial option or Find and Track Target if they have the investigation 3 ability (Tracking Droids) and if the target is currently on their planet. The player can only use the droid if the mark is on the same planet as the player. If the target is not on the current planet then they will need to use an arakyd probe droid to determine which planet it is on. Either choice will start the droid out in the same manner having it perform a taking off animation and then dissapearing to begin its search.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Following the droid taking off the player will receive a report and waypoint to the last known location of the mark or an update to an existing waypoint if the player has previously used an arakyd to determine the location. The time it takes before the droid sends the player this information is based on the player's Droid Speed modifiers. Droid speed modifiers are given out at each level of the investigation tree and at master bounty hunter. The times noted at each level of bounty hunter are as follows:
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 7:00 minutes at Investigation 1<br>
| |
| − | 4:00 minutes at Investigation 2<br>
| |
| − | 2:00 minutes at Investigation 3<br>
| |
| − | 1:30 at Master<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once the player receives the coordinate update, the probe droid will cease giving updates on the target's location unless the player has issued the Find and Track ability.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Find and Track Target'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Find and Track Target ability allows a player's droid to continuously provide coordinate updates. Using the Find and Track Target ability works the same as using Find Bounty Target. The difference is that a single seeker droid can now give multiple updates. The total updates given by a droid is determined by a player's Tracking Droids modifier. Each point in this modifier grants the player an additional waypoint update. Tracking updates occur at intervals based on the Tracking Droid Speed modifier. Tracking speed intervals:
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Tracking Speed +80 - 22 second intervals<br>
| |
| − | Tracking Speed +70 - 70 second intervals *<br>
| |
| − | Tracking Speed +40 - 120 second intervals<br>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As the droid tracking goes on, yet another element comes into play to affect the tracking process; Tracking Droid Effectiveness modifiers. Tracking droid effectiveness modifiers help determine the chance that each tracking attempt will result in a success or failure at the end of each interval. If a track attempt is successful then the waypoint coordinate is updated and the droid continues to update until the next attempt comes up. If the attempt roll fails then the droid ceases tracking and the player must use another droid to continue tracking. Presumably each point in a tracking droid modifier yields a 1% chance to succeed in the tracking attempt thus Players with +100 tracking effectiveness have presumably, a 100% success rate for each track attempt while using the Find and Track Target ability.

| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If a player enters within 500 meters of a marks coordinate during the update of the mark's coordinate while using the Find or Find and track ability, the mark's position ceases updating although any remaining tracking droids may continue to track until their limit is reached. Successive tracking attempts will only update to the mark's current coordinates.
