📋 About This Mod
This mod improves upon the bounty hunter system by introducing dynamic bounty hunter and law encounters based on your bounty amount. A high bounty will finally feel like a manhunt! They can track you anywhere you're wanted with little restrictions, and arrests can be a bit more punishing.
In vanilla, carrying a bounty doesn’t feel like it means much—you can stroll into town with $300 on your head (over $11,000 in 1899 money) and face little to no consequence. Towns are safe havens that restricts bounty hunters from going after you. They patiently wait and only show up only after you had some restful sleep out in the wilderness. With this mod, that all changes. Bounty hunters will now track you relentlessly anywhere you're wanted, forcing you to either pay your dues or stay ready for a fight.
In vanilla, getting arrested is barely an inconvenience—you pay your fine and walk free with all your gear. This mod changes that too. Now, getting caught has real consequences. Bounty hunters may strip you of your weapons during arrest, and lawmen might take them from you as well and won’t be so kind as to return them. This added layer of punishment ensures that getting arrested will carry weight.
Every day you're still alive and free but a wanted man, your bounty amount increases.
This mod is disabled during missions.

[]Bounty hunters will cross state lines if they are actively chasing you even if you do not have a bounty on a different state
[]Chances of different bounty groups or lawmen to hunt you down as your bounty increases
