F2p medium lvl bounty hunter guide

[Leejjon]

Ok this is going to be some guide about bounty hunter in f2p. I've been playing it a bit last weeks in the medium crate and I hear a lot of people complaining about it being gay etc.. But it's the only thing we've got left so thats why I made this guide about it.

 

 

 

1 - Some terms I will be using:

 

DD = death dot, stand with your team on one dot so that other people will only see one white dot on the radar.

 

BS = Backstab, when someone kills a teammate, he will be called a BS'er.

 

CC = Clanchat

 

BH = bounty hunter

 

OPTS = the amount of options you see when you rightclick on the team that is following their leader.

 

KO = Knock out, if a victim get's killed due to high hits.

 

Bind = A magic spell that freezes your victim for 5 seconds (he can't move then)

 

Pile = When a lot of people all attack one victim (the best way to get kills)

 

Fall in = When you are with your team you should all be following the leader. that way other clans see only two dots on the radar.

 

Door huggers = People who go into bounty and stay next to the exit portals, so if they are getting attacked they can fled away right away.

 

 

 

 

 

2 - Some things you should realize

 

First thing you'll need to know that teaminng is just neccesary, solo'ing is not an option. Second thing, there is no such thing as honour in here, so don't expect people not to eat/pray/pile etc. Also don't pay any attention to who is your target, your target probably is in your own clan or in another clan.

 

 

 

 

 

3 How to join a team

 

 

 

This is easy, go to your desired bounty world, and look for people with the same capes outside of the crates. Most likely those teams will be flooding like "JOIN US, GO IN CC OF *theleader* AND TRADE HIM FOR CAPE". So just join their clanchat and trade the leader to get a cape.

 

 

 

 

 

4 Make your own team

 

 

 

This is a bit harder, buy a lot of capes and give your teammates a teamcape each and tell them to join your clanchat. The start shouting like "join us" in front of a crate and when you've recruited enough people go inside and call everyone to one side of the bounty hunter lvl via the clanchat. Then let all members fall in on you and start owning. Meeting your clanmembers can get pretty tricky if there are other big clans around.

 

 

 

 

 

5 What should you use?

 

 

 

Ranged - First choice, you'll need to pay for addamant arrows, but dragonhide armour and mapple bows are pretty cheap so that doesn't matter much. Also you will get drops more often since you can attack right away when you see a white dot on the radar, and you will hit faster then magic. Not much people in bounty don't wear rune or metal armour so you will be hitting good.

 

 

 

Magic - Second choice, but deaths are pretty expensive although you will be having most chances on getting full rune kills. The bad thing is you won't be wearing any defence so when you get piled put protect prayers on and run to the nearest exit.

 

 

 

Melee - Third choice, it might look weard that I putted this third, but you will have trouble in getting loot. First of all you can't attack any people from far, and need to wait until your victims are binded. On the other hand you'll be the best if your team if you clan meets another clan, due to your good armour (if you brought it) you will not die quickly and rangers and especially mages will die quickly. Bringing full rune is good but lots of people will attack you because they want your armour.

 

 

 

Hybrids - The bad thing about a hybrid is that you'll have to bring more weapons, but a range-melee hybrid wil be pretty good. (wear dhide, attack victim with range, and if its binded or fights back get your rune scim).

 

A mage-melee hybrid can be good aswell, but has worse armour. And range/mage isn't good because range is nearly always better (only on full runers magic is better)

 

 

 

Binders - Having binds with you can help preventing victims to get away , but the time you waste on binding and not hitting your target wil make your chance of getting the loot smaller. Other teammembers will probably thank you but they can't share the loot anymore. So if you feel like being kind you can bind, but it won't help yourself much.

 

 

 

 

 

5 - Once inside

 

 

 

You should upon entering find your clanmates as fast as possible. Just fall in on the leader and he/she will walk round along the edges of the arena. If you see a white dot on the radar, move to it's direction right away and kill whatever it is.

 

 

 

 

 

6 - Strategy's

 

 

 

Scouting

 

When falled in on the leader ,a lot of melee'rs like to go and scout forward in the direction where the clan is moving towards. They will try to find people and attack them to get the first few hits, and when the clan comes and KO's the people, they will receive the loot. That's why most teams have a rule like "no scouting", since it's unfair to the rest of the team and might scare victims off.

 

 

 

Leave door huggers

 

The bounty is full of people who don't dare to go away from the doors. When the whole team is following their leader and suddently they all run after some guy next to a door leaving right away, that's annoying. Not just because people waste runes and arrows on them, but the disquise on the radar is gone to. If everyone follows the leader there are only 2 white dots on the radar and victims will not notice there are like 50 people in it.

 

 

 

In-bounty hop

 

If the team you're in is the biggest in the world (or just everyone is wearing the same capes) the leader can choose to hop to another world, to beat other teams there. It takes a lot of time to go out of the bounty and regroup in the new world again, so it's better to go to the middle of the bounty, and all click on world select above the rs screen, and log in on the new world.

 

 

 

DD'ing

 

When meeting at a certain point with your clan, sometimes people choos to dd all next to an exit while waiting. Sometimes when people come in you can instantly KO people who come in and walk a bit away from the door. Beware of BS'ers though while doing it. If they are at the death dot they can attack every clanmember that isn't in the DD without being noticed. If the DD has like 120 opts you can't sort out easily who is bsing.

 

 

 

Penalty's

 

After you've killed anyone you can't leave for 180 seconds. You should be a bit more carefull when having a penalty since you can't leave. If your clan is getting owned by another clan and you have a penalty I'd advice to sneak away and wait in the middle of the bounty untill your penalty is gone.

 

 

 

 

 

6 - Final Word

 

Ofcourse you could have all find this out by yourself, but it might safe you from the first times dying while trying out. I've got like 18 scims and a full rune atm and even though it's getting a bit boring it's the only thing left to do until jagex brings us some new pvp updates, or makes something worth getting members again. I quit members after 10-12-07..
