Why an ARC Raiders Bounty System Wouldn’t Work as Well as You Think

The developers of ARC Raiders are considering a bounty system where players could put a price on the heads of other players they feel have wronged them. This would alert other players to the bounty, incentivizing them to hunt down the targeted player for improved rewards, including better loot and in-game currency. While some have suggested a more permanent system of marking players with a bad reputation, that idea doesn’t quite fit ARC Raiders. A reputation system would likely disrupt the game’s core gameplay and could further frustrate players who already dislike the player-versus-player combat.
