You can run, but you can’t hide

The Resurgence exclusive Public Event is sure to turn up the heat. When the Bounty Contest goes live, a notification will pop up on your screen and every squad in the match will be given a Bounty Contract to complete within a given timeframe.

After eliminating your first target, the Bounty will move onto the next squad member, continuing until you’ve wiped out the whole team If you manage to go on a Bounty spree, you’ll bank yourself a whole lot of cash which you can use at Buy Stations.

With every squad having a Bounty target at the same time, you’ll not only be going hunting, but you’ll be getting hunted, too. Make sure you have your wits about you and are covering your squad’s back when the Public Event randomly begins during a match.

The Bounty Contest will be added to the Warzone Public Event rotation when Season 5 rolls out on July 24, 2024.
