bounty hunt
Track wanted criminals
To bounty hunt is to pursue fugitives or targets for a reward.
Bounty hunters track down people who have skipped bail or are wanted by authorities, earning a fee upon capture.
The term extends to video games and fiction where players hunt targets for in-game rewards: I spent the evening bounty hunting in the outer rim.
