The bounty hunters have always been a problem because their Payouts are too hard trigger without the essential BH characters on one team. I've thought for a while now that a great solution would be to allow scoundrels to contribute to bounty payouts. It would help to utilize the scoundrel faction more, and allow players to make multiple good teams with BH leaders, and have more fun with their abilities. I thought that maybe The Mandalorian characters would bring this feature so we could make more viable teams with good synergy. But since this hasn't been added, it would be a great idea for the devs to consider so using these factions would be more fun

@Mephisto_style The bounty hunter faction is the only one that has the (payout) function. So no you cant (insert any faction here). And payouts dont just activate their leadership abilities, but also their unique, and sometimes even a whole ability.And you cant use any of it without a very specific BH squad...

You're definitely wrong. You're not recognizing how limited this faction becomes with the payouts. A good example is 3v3 how the heck are you supposed to activate them then?

They definitely struggle in 3v3 because of the contract mechanic. Boba Fett's may be the only contract that isn't affected by the drop in bounty hunters. All others struggle. The hardest part about BHs is that you need mass assists to get more attacks against bounty targets (except Zam's and Aurra's contracts). Until recently, Bossk was your best tool for fulfilling contracts. Now we have Greef, but that still leaves at least a whole team of BHs without a lot of assists to get their payouts.

@Budgernaut Definitely need the mass assist. I was thinking about it even more, I said you needed the core BH characters to pull it off. But in reality you have no hope of doing it without Bossk. Also the thing that is frustrating is that the BH faction desperately needed another tank. Then CG brought IG-11 (who is a bounty hunter droid, and yes a BOUNTY HUNTER) but just chose not to give him the tag!?

Yeah, that's an interesting proposal, because the scoundrels still wouldn't bemefit from payouts and lack a contract that nedds to be fulfilled, so you lose some of that power by having fewer contracts but you get the BH contracts faster or more reliably.I think Mando messes it up, though, because I think they want his disintegration locked to Bounty Hunter teams.

The IG11 incarnation isnt a Bounty Hunter anymore - the BH IG11 gets killed quickly (spoiler). The one we have in the game is rebuild from kuill to protect the "child".

But yes - CG should still add the BH Tag to give BHs another tank (clearly need, its all about Bossk...) and also give something for the IG88 lead payout! (to even have an option to get it activated with another BH Droid! in a Droid/Scroundel Team). @Kyno

Currently a missed chance for BH... (and the whole Mando Squad!)

Aayla can get her payout absurdly fast. Dengar can also hit a very fast payout. Jango rounds out fast payouts. Because Greef and Bossk call full team assists and Dengar, Boba, Jango do AoEs getting to BH payouts quickly is pretty easy. Generally setting the speeds on a BH team is important so you can setup the Payout by using skills in the proper order.

BTW always put Jango as the last member of the team so his double shot is more likely to land when Greef and Bossk calls for the team assists.

Aayla is a bounty hunter now?

There are a lot of scoundrels. They would have to do a lot of thinking about unwanted interactions. Too expensive

Even then, you have to make sure a BH is the one that gets the kill, or it won't count.

If you use bobas leader contract which is the first enemy is killed it’s activated is an easy contract in my opinion to activate payouts more often
