How large should the bounties be?

P.S. I forgot that most weapons require ammo. Increase the target bounty by ~10% for green and blue sets where all bullets are marked as "No" (this is the price for using blue ammo, which will be the most profitable). Sowwy ;(

The table below shows what the reward should be in order to repay the cost of the equipment. It is assumed that you are a level 16 player (average level of players) who has purchased a full set of equipment of the respective quality.

Rebellion damage bonuses and region bonuses are not included here. These bonuses reduce the target bounties by 5-30%, making it more profitable to deal damage.

Pills and food are also not included here (you should not use these items if you want to repay the cost of your gear).

Below is a table for full-eco players (i.e., the least efficient use of equipment. If the bounty is higher than these values, then contract is ALWAYS profitable).

As you can see, for some types of equipment, the use of bullets reduces the target reward amount.

Below is a table for players who have developed skills specifically for earning money as mercenaries (i.e., make maximum use of all equipment bonuses while it is not broken).

For players above level 16, the target bounties will be lower, but these give a rough idea of what the reward should be. Also keep in mind that you most likely did not develop your skills specifically for earning money as a mercenary.

Compare the values with the previous table to estimate the approximate amount of bounty you need.
