[]The regular bounties contain the target and a couple of guards. They use a detect system.

[]There is a chance for you to be chased by bounty hunters, you can try and run them off or face them head on.
[]It's recommended(not required) to play post-story.
[]While you're playing a main- or side mission the mod will be disabled to
prevent you from walking into a bounty radius by accident.
Difference between Main and RDR1 edition:
-
[]The RDR1 Version is basically the same as the Main Version. Only a couple of bounties have been changed.
The Main Version holds 7 unique bounties. These have their own little story and objective to them apart from the bounties with bodyguards and such.The RDR1 Edition changes the unique bounties to be like the other bounties. With bodyguards, detection and all. These bounties are made to look like the ones present in RDR1. That's why it is called the RDR1 Edition.
Explanation on why it says: recommended playing post-story:
- []One reason for this is some bounties take advantages of certain buildings and structures.
the gameplay, they still work none the less.
Another reason is because it's just generally advised to play post story when playing with
mods. I have been working on and with this mod for nearly a year now and
I have yet to get a corrupted save game. So if you ask me the risks of any
corruption are negligible. I still recommend playing it post story none the less.
In short: It might be more fun and it's just generally advised when playing with mods.
