Standard Bounties
Standard bounties are highlighted with a blue color on the computer screen at your Bail Office and offer a decent payout, between $35,000 and $40,000. You can hunt them down in free roam using any vehicle you prefer. However, you are forced to bring them back in your business provided van.
There are three Standard bounties available at any one time, refreshing every real-life hour. Completing a bounty triggers a 48-minute cooldown (one in-game day) before you can repeat it. The good news is that you can still tackle the two remaining Standard bounties while you wait. Standard bounties are quick and can be completed within a few minutes.
There are currently eighteen standard bounties available in GTA Online. For a detailed breakdown on them all, see our Standard Bounties Guide.
Most Wanted Bounties
Most wanted bounties are relatively more "difficult" to do. And by difficult, we just mean that they have some additional tasks to complete you can actually go after the bounty target.
These bounties refresh daily at server reset (06:00 in-game, GTA Online time), so you'll only have one shot per day. The most wanted bounties offer a hefty reward that dwarfs the standard bounties but not by a lot.
You get over $120,000 for bringing the target alive, plus around $5,000 or so for picking up the secret additional loot during the most wanted missions. For example, the necklace in Cleo Song's mission.
Unlike standard bounties, these aren't found in free roam. Instead, you'll be teleported to a separate mission instance specifically designed for the most wanted target. While completely doable solo, these missions can be tackled with up to four players.
There are six most wanted bail jumpers available in GTA Online:
