Contents show]

Description

A player can become a public enemy by either killing six other players without dying or racking up a $1000 bounty. When the player becomes a public enemy, every other player is alerted to this fact with an on-screen message and voice-over. The public enemy player's icon also changes from a dot to a skull on the map.

Other players can collect a 200 XP reward for killing a public enemy player. While a public enemy, a player gains 25 XP for killing other players rather than the usual 10 XP.

Challenges

A number of Multiplayer Challenges under the Free Roam category involve public enemy status. These include challenges for becoming a public enemy, killing other players while a public enemy, and killing players with public enemy status.

Tips

Depending on the reasons a player wants to become a public enemy (e.g. challenges, achievements/trophies, or just for fun), different Free Roam modes may be best: Private Free Roam - to avoid all interference from other players. Friendly Free Roam - less interference from other players while remaining in a public game, if required for a challenge. Note that even though other players can not directly kill a player in Friendly Free Roam, they can still wound the player or kill the player's mount, either of which could be equally deadly when the law is in hot pursuit. Normal Free Roam - good for challenges that require the public enemy player to kill other players. Hardcore Free Roam - also good for challenges that require killing other players when the public enemy player is skilled at expert targeting mode.
