How to put a bounty on a player in ARC Raiders

You cannot put a bounty on another raider inside ARC Raiders; the game has no player bounty system. You can do it here. A BountyRaiders bounty is a real-money contract of $5 or more on a player's exact in-game name, held in escrow for 30 days and paid to the first verified hunter who proves the knockout. Posting one takes about five minutes.

  1. 01Get the player's exact in-game name

    Copy the target's ARC Raiders display name exactly as the game shows it, from the post-match screen, the recent players list or the kill feed. Bounties are matched by name, so spelling and capitalisation matter.

    Take a screenshot at the time; names are easy to misremember and a bounty on a misspelled name can never be collected.

    Only the display name is needed. Never include real names, socials or anything that identifies the person outside the game. Bounties are for gameplay, and doxxing is a permanent ban.

  2. 02Sign in with Discord and complete your profile

    Sign in with Discord (free) and register your own ARC display name. Every poster has a verified identity so hunters and moderators know the contract is real.

    The profile takes a minute: your ARC name and a confirmation that Discord is linked in-game. You need it to post, and hunters need it to claim, so nobody on the board is anonymous.

  3. 03Set the reward

    Choose an amount of $5 or more. The reward decides who can hunt it: up to $10 is open to every hunter, up to $25 needs Premium, and anything above $25 is VIP-only.

    A $5 to $10 bounty is visible to the most hunters. Bigger rewards reach fewer hunters, but those hunters are the ones who clear the high-value contracts, and a large number moves your target up the most wanted list where everyone sees it.

    You pay exactly the amount you set. The platform fee comes out of the hunter's payout, not your pocket.

  4. 04Write the reason

    Describe what the player did in three to five hundred characters: extract camping, going fake-friendly at a gate, mining a tunnel exit, ratting loot rooms. Keep it to in-game behaviour.

    The reason is shown on the board and on the bounty page. Where the target plays, what time, which map and what playstyle are all useful to hunters. Insults are not, and anything about the person rather than the player will get the bounty removed.

  5. 05Pay by card or from your wallet

    Pay with a card through Stripe, or use wallet credit you already have from earlier bounties or hunting. The money is held as escrow credit from the moment the bounty goes live.

    Card details go to Stripe and are never stored by BountyRaiders. The bounty is created only after the payment succeeds, and it appears on the board immediately.

  6. 06Let hunters work the contract

    The bounty is live for 30 days. Verified hunters claim it, find the target in normal play, and submit video or screenshot proof of the knockout. A moderator checks the proof before anyone is paid.

    Several hunters can chase the same target at once; the first approved proof wins. Approved completions above the announcement threshold are posted in the community Discord, so you will see when your target goes down.

  7. 07If nobody collects, the money comes back

    When a bounty expires after 30 days with no approved claim, the full amount is returned to your BountyRaiders wallet as credit, usually within a day of the expiry time. Use it for another bounty, a membership, or a withdrawal.

    Expiry runs on a daily schedule, so the credit can take up to about 24 hours to show after the listed expiry. If you want to re-post the same target, you can do it straight from the wallet.

What a bounty costs, in full

  • The bounty amount, $5 or more, paid once when you post.
  • No posting fee and no membership. Premium and VIP are for hunters, not posters.
  • Nothing if it expires. The full amount returns to your wallet as credit. Wallet credit can be withdrawn to PayPal, minus the payment provider's transfer fee.

What you can and cannot post

Any in-game behaviour is fair game: camping extracts, betraying a truce, stealing loot, ratting, or simply beating you and gloating about it. Anything about the person behind the account is not. Real names, socials, locations, threats and slurs get the bounty removed and the account banned. Bounties on yourself, or arranged with a friend so one of you can collect, count as farming and forfeit the wallet.

How hunters find your target

Your bounty appears on the live board the moment it is paid, ranked into the most wanted list by reward. Hunters also run the names from their own post-match screens through the Did I Win? checker, so a target who plays often is likely to be recognised after the fact as well as hunted on purpose. Every hunt happens in normal matchmaking; nobody can force a lobby, which is why bigger rewards and useful reasons matter.
