The thrill of the hunt... The promise of payment...
~ The Ancestor

The Bounty Hunter is one of the playable Character Classes in Darkest Dungeon.

Class Description[ | ]

Sinister and precise, the Bounty Hunter specializes in targeting a single foe to deliver its head for the reward. He has found that simply striking before thinking is an ineffective way to kill, so he has taught himself many ways to take advantage of his foe's vulnerabilities.

If they wear armor, he can find the weak points in it. If they are reeling from a hit, he'll make a surprise attack to strike it down. Even the enemies who think they're safe behind their frontlines will find that the Bounty Hunter's grappling hook can pull them in or slice them up. And if all else fails, he can drop flash grenades or sucker punch enemies to disorient them. No matter the situation, this calculating killer will have an answer for it.

Combat Skills[ | ]

A brutally efficient single-target executioner and crowd control specialist. For the Bounty Hunter, planning is key - mark targets for bonus damage or look for opportunities to capitalize on a stunned foe. He can also wreak havoc on an enemy party's order using his grappling hook, flashbangs and powerful uppercut.
~ Guild

Note: New Bounty Hunters will always come with the Collect Bounty skill.

(All buffs and debuffs last for 3 rounds unless otherwise specified.)

Camping Skills[ | ]

At camp, like in combat, the Bounty Hunter is all about preparedness. He can take time to study his notes, bettering his odds against typical foes or even specifically 'big game'. Scouting ahead can increase a party's knowledge of lurking threats, while tracking increases the party's chance of maintaining the element of surprise.
~ Survivalist

Camping skills are special skills heroes can use while they are camping. They take a certain number of "respite" points to use, and can only be used once per camp (unless the skill says otherwise). Most heroes have three shared camping skills and all heroes have 4 unique camping skills (with the Flagellant being the exception, having only unique camping skills). Only 4 of these can be equipped at one time. Any Buffs or lasting effects given from a camping skill lasts for 4 battles.

During camp, the Bounty Hunter is able to buff his accuracy and crit chance or increase his damage against large enemies. He can also increase scouting chance and reduce the chance of the party being surprised.

Tactical Analysis[ | ]

The Bounty Hunter is a very flexible class. He comes with a good mix of melee, ranged, stun, marking, and movement skills, letting him hit nearly any point in the enemy formation from nearly anywhere in the player's party. Hence, he fits into nearly any vacancy barring position 4, and does not mind being shuffled around in a dancing party. A good Trap disarm chance and a good set of Camp buffs to negotiate Scouting and Surprise makes him an asset in many types of expeditions.

Collect Bounty and Finish Him are staple melee attacks, which are usable from as far back as position 3 and impose no damage penalty like his other damaging skills. They have bonus damage against marked and stunned enemies — to this, he has Mark for Death and Come Hither for the former, and Uppercut and Flashbang for the latter. Mark for Death has a bonus of PROT reduction to allow him to heavily damage armored targets, while Come Hither exchanges mark duration for a small amount of damage and the ability to drag backline enemies into range. Uppercut and Flashbang have different position restrictions, and move enemies differently. Caltrops has very little base damage, but induces bleed to the backline and causes its targets to take more damage, letting his companions shoot down enemies hiding in the back a lot easier.

While the Bounty Hunter has a very self-sufficient skill set, the short duration of Stun and Mark makes it a lot more efficient if other party members were to inflict those ailments for him. An Occultist or Houndmaster has the capability of delivering both effects to allow him to assassinate anything with ease. His Trinket set gives him stacking DMG and CRIT bonuses against anything marked, stunned, or bleeding, which further encourages his synergy with the above classes.

Equipment[ | ]

The Bounty Hunter favors a hand-axe and grappling hook, a pairing that allows him to ensnare and execute his quarry with professional efficiency. His tough leather and scale armor grants decent protection, without sacrificing mobility.

Unlike other games, equipment upgrades in Darkest Dungeon are linear, all bought at the Blacksmith.

Each Hero has Trinkets unique to them that only they can equip. The Bounty Hunter has seven; 2 common, 2 Crimson Court and 1 uncommon, rare and very rare. In the base game, his trinkets are either beast talons or helmets. The Crimson Court DLC adds a bag full of teeth and a list of people he is/was seeking revenge on, while the Color of Madness DLC adds a cursed mask.

The Crimson Court DLC added special Trinket Sets, two for each hero. They confer powerful bonuses to the hero equipped with them, and having both equipped at once yields an additional bonus, which is shown greyed out at the bottom. The origin dungeon for all Trinket Sets is the Courtyard and they all have the rarity Crimson Court. The Shieldbreaker Trinket SetExclusive to The Shieldbreaker DLC, however, is only obtainable through her final 6th and 7th nightmare encounters and won't be dropped or given as a reward in the Courtyard. Trinkets you already have will stop dropping, so there's value in not selling the ones you don't like until you get the ones you want.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Three of his skills (Finish Him, Come Hither & Uppercut) are references to the Mortal Kombat series.
  • His blue and green color palettes resemble the armor of Jango and Boba Fett - bounty hunters from "Star Wars" movies.
  • The predetermined name of the Bounty Hunter is Tardif, a reference to Red Hook programmer Pierre Tardif.
  • From the Bounty Hunter's Crimson Court item set (most notably the Vengeful Kill List) it can be inferred that the Bounty Hunter may also fight for revenge, not just money.
  • There's a total of 21 "..." barks for the Bounty Hunter, and 14 others are also completely wordless.
  • His current Caltrops skill was formerly known as Hook and Slice, which, while functionally identical as a ranged skill that inflicts bleed, had a different range and position restriction. The PS Vita version of the game still retains Hook and Slice.
  • The Bounty Hunter's full face is never truly revealed, but the lower half of his face can be seen in the promotional art for the Crimson Court DLC of Darkest Dungeon.
