Character Classes

There are five unique classes that we will introduce on this website shortly. Every character class has its unique play style of melee or ranged attack as well as supporting abilities. With each class you will be able to choose your character's gender and customise the looks of your mercenary.

Private Military Company (PMC)

You will join one of four different PMC factions which have their own goals and hidden agendas. As a mercenary you are free to choose a company that suits your own policies. The four PMCs are:

Corona

"We look after our members and would never look upon you as cannon fodder. To all those defenders of righteousness who toil day in and day out with steely resolve: we welcome you!"

Aurora

"You can operate independently and take full advantage of our company resources. As long as you can prove on a regular basis that we are not wasting our money, we'll look upon you as a partner and ally."

Nucleo

"We will help you become the top-level agent you always wanted to be. When you join the elite Nucleo ranks, you will enjoy an elevated status and generous bonus income."

Umbra

"Our missions concern the grittiest, darkest pits of society. To this day our success rate is second to none. Our philosophy is: get the job done, get the money, and get out."

Combat

The smooth and intuitive combat system allows you to use both melee and ranged weapons. The combat system automatically switches between melee and ranged attack depending on the distance to your target. So you can easily move around and use your abilities in the most efficient ways.

PvP

Bounty Hounds Online also includes PvP combat. We will release detailed information about this feature at a later point.

Mercenary Legions & Squads

Although you can form random teams in the game, Squads are specifically designed for regular group questing or completing instanced challenges with your friends. Within a faction you also have the ability to form a Mercenary Legion which gives you a lot of advantages like teleporting yourself to Legion members or gaining benefits from Legion titles. A Squad or Legion Commander can also initiate exclusive quests.

Research & Development (R&D)

The inventive R&D system is a way for your character to create and enhance items. Gaining more experience in your research opens up more possibilities to craft better equipment or improve your gear. The R&D works as a self-recyclable system. Whatever you create can be dismantled again to reuse some of the resources for other items. You can craft and improve all kinds of weapon and armour types, CTU upgrades and consumable items to recover health, spell power or CTU energy.

Combat Tactical Unit (CTU)

CTUs are transformable robot pets. Once you can call one of them your own, you will have a reliable and fearless companion to help you survive. Pets will also level up and develop into more powerful machines. There are different types of CTUs, such as aggressive damage dealers, defensive protectors and intelligent supporters. Pets cannot only be improved by the use of specific upgrades, and the teaching of new abilities, they can also be customised with specific paint jobs. CTUs recharge energy in combat. When a pet has fully recharged its energy it can temporarily transform into a very effective war machine.
