Overview
The bounty system on HWS allows players to place credit rewards on others, turning PvP into a thrilling hunt. This guide outlines how to place bounties, how guilt works, and how to clear your name.
Placing a Bounty
Method 1: Ingame (Faction Chat)
Use the following syntax in faction chat:
egs:bounty:playername:creditAmount
Example:
egs:bounty:RexXxuS:100000000
Method 2: Via HWS Connect
Use the web interface to place a bounty easily:
Alternatively, click the bounty icon next to a player’s name:
Bounty Display Conditions
- 1–9,999,999 credits: Shows player name and bounty amount only.
- 10,000,000+ credits: Shows player name, bounty amount, and playfield name (no coordinates).
Additional Notes
- Your bounty credits are immediately deducted from your Elemental Bank (EB).
- If successful, the bounty is automatically transferred to the bounty hunter.
- High bounties increase the likelihood of the target being hunted.
- Track players via HWS Connect’s Online Players feature — includes sound alerts.
How Guilt Works
What is Guilt?
When you commit crimes or engage in chaos, you’re labeled Guilty. Once Guilty:
- Your name appears on the Hunter Board (even if you’re offline).
- Hunters can track and eliminate you for fame and rewards.
- Guilt adds consequences and deeper immersion into HWS roleplay.
Check your Origin to understand specific penalties and bonuses.
Hunter Board Rules
- Guilty players are listed with playfield info on HWS Connect.
- You can earn up to 10 rewards per day for killing Guilty players.
- You must possess the correct Origin Epic/Enhanced Weapon to gain HWS DNA.
- The board updates every minute and is exclusive to HWS Connect.
- Manual fire only triggers the system — no automated turret kills.
- Killing the same player repeatedly yields 1 HWS DNA bonus/day max.
- Guilty players are denied access to PvE playfields.
- Becoming Guilty causes an immediate loss of 5 HWS DNA.
