That lowkey doesn't make sense. If it simply failed on someone without bounty, you wouldn't need a scaner
you would
because if you're a town player that signed up for the bounty hunt
you wouldn't just shoot anyone in fear of killing a town member that got a bounty on them from an indie or scum
so a town player can scan in the day to see if they find a target to shoot
if you're a town player and scan someone that is town leaning, you don't shoot at them
in fact, if you're a doc or something like that, and you scan that a town leaning player got a bounty on them, then you can use that info to protect that player from other bounty hunters
maybe the bounty hunter event is just against the TAC indie wincon, that has to protect someon
kinda like Mando has to protect Grogu the entire show
