HeadHunter - Wanted: Dead or Alive

Got ganked? HeadHunter records who killed you, shares it with your faction and marks WANTED outlaws on the map. Form a posse and bring them to justice.

For Classic Era and WoW: Forever.

How it works

1. An enemy player kills you. HeadHunter saves who did it: name, level, class, race and zone. If more than one player attacked you, it saves all of them.
2. Your report is shared with every HeadHunter player of your faction.
3. Gankers become WANTED. An enemy who kills 4 players within 20 minutes gets a WANTED poster. Every HeadHunter sees the same list.
4. Hunt them down. You get an alert when a WANTED outlaw kills someone near you. Join the posse and go after them.
5. Justice served. When a HeadHunter, or anyone in their group, kills a WANTED outlaw, the outlaw is no longer WANTED for everyone.

Features

WANTED list and ranks

• An outlaw stays WANTED until a HeadHunter kills them, or until 7 days pass without a new kill.
• Ranks grow with kills: Ganker, Outlaw, Desperado, Most Wanted and Dead or Alive.

Badges

Badges show how someone kills, not only how much:

• Coward: killed a player 10 or more levels lower, or a grey level player.
• Duo: killed a player together with one other enemy (2 vs 1).
• Gang: killed a player in a group of 3 or more.
• Serial Killer: 5 different victims in separate fights within a short time.
• Gunslinger: most kills were fair, one on one, at a similar level.
• Giant Slayer: killed higher level players alone.

Cowards are listed in the Hall of Shame.

Alerts

• WANTED sighting: "WANTED Ganker X is here!" when a WANTED outlaw shows up on your screen, even in combat.
• WANTED activity: a WANTED outlaw killed someone near you. Click Join the posse or Decline. Only players close to the outlaw's level get this popup, the others get a chat line.
• Justice served: a message when a WANTED outlaw is brought down.
• PvP hotspots: Skirmish, Battle or Warzone when a big fight happens near you.

World map

• A red PVP area shows where fights are happening. It gets darker as the fight grows and stays for 20 minutes after the last fight.
• A skull shows where a WANTED outlaw made their last kill (for 10 minutes).

HeadHunter window

Type /hh or click the minimap button:

• WANTED: everyone who is WANTED now, sorted by rank, kills or last kill.
• Hall of Shame: every known coward.
• My deaths: who killed you, when and where.
• My marks: your hunter points and rank.

Hover a name for details, or click it to open the outlaw's poster: race and class, rank, badges, recent kills, posse and a Join the posse button.

Enemy tooltips

Mouse over an enemy player to see if they are WANTED, their rank, kills and badges.

Posse and hunter ranks

• Join a posse to hunt an outlaw together. Posse members see each other.
• Earn marks: +1 for joining a posse, and +3 to +20 when you or your group bring down a WANTED outlaw (more for higher ranks). Declining costs 1 mark.
• No marks for hunting players 10 or more levels below you. Hunting down is ganking too.
• Hunter ranks: Tracker, Bounty Hunter, Manhunter, Headhunter and Reaper.

Catch-up

When you log in, HeadHunter asks other HeadHunters what you missed while you were offline, so your WANTED list is up to date.

Commands

All settings are also on the options page: Esc > Options > AddOns > HeadHunter.

Good to know

• Classic Era: reports go to your guild and group automatically. To reach every HeadHunter on the realm, click Report after a death (or type /hh report). The same goes for Announce after you bring down an outlaw (/hh justice). The game only allows these realm-wide messages after a click.
• Classic Era has no map waypoints, so HeadHunter tells you the coordinates in chat instead.
• WoW: Forever shares everything automatically.
• HeadHunter is off in dungeons, raids and battlegrounds. Duels never count.
• The more players use HeadHunter, the better it works. Tell your guild!
