What Is a Bounty?
A bounty is a community-funded in-game challenge that rewards impressive, creative, or difficult gameplay moments in ARC Raiders. Bounties are voluntary and can only be won by submitting proof (typically a gameplay video) before the bounty expires.
How to Compete — Full System Tutorial
1) Browse bounties
Go to /bounties and pick a bounty. Read the description carefully. Make sure you understand what counts as a valid completion and what proof is required.
2) Understand the bounty requirements
- Follow the bounty’s exact requirements.
- Complete it within the bounty’s active time window (before expiration).
- Capture proof (video is required for most bounties).
- No exploits, fraud, or misleading edits.
3) Submit proof
When you complete the bounty challenge in-game, submit your proof through the bounty page. Your submission must clearly demonstrate the achievement and be truthful. Submissions that are unclear, misleading, stolen, or fraudulent will be rejected.
4) Review, voting, and outcomes
Depending on the bounty type and current platform rules, outcomes may involve community voting and/or admin review. RaiderContracts reserves final authority over all decisions to protect fairness and platform integrity.
5) Payments (critical rules)
- Paid pledges only: bounty totals are computed from paid pledges only. Unpaid or failed payments do not count.
- 10% platform fee: RaiderContracts retains 10% on completed bounty payouts.
- Unfulfilled bounties: if a bounty expires unfulfilled, 10% of the bounty total is retained by the platform every time.
6) Create a bounty
- Go to /create and fill in the bounty details.
- Fund the bounty (minimum $1).
- The bounty is not active until the initial payment is successfully completed.
- All pledges and funding are voluntary and for in-game challenge incentives only.
7) Pledge to a bounty
- Open any bounty detail page and click Pledge.
- Enter your pledge amount and complete payment.
- Your pledge contributes to the bounty total only after payment succeeds (paid pledges only).
