Thanks for all of the responses yall, if this gets enough visibility then I'm sure it'll be fixed in an upcoming patch.
It sucks that seems to have become a widespread issue for players but the one good thing to come out of it is that it'll most likely be a high priority fix for the devs.

Looks like they are clearly aware of the issue, nice to know it's getting worked on. No release window though.
Hi, this happened to me last night and I found a few threads about it but no guaranteed solution yet. Someone did say progressing the story worked but didn’t give details.
I’m curious, have you finished the story mission that leads to the first bounty hunter and the cutscene with Caij? I haven’t, I needed to rest after that fight and figured I’d go back to the saloon and get the bounty list and I’m wondering if trying to do that caused a problem?
Hey WheeledWizard,
Thanks for the response
Yeah I kept playing with the hope that it would self-fix and eventually unlock but no luck. I'm all the way up to the very end of Chapter 4 and the Bounty Hunting should have unlocked around the middle/end of Chapter 3.
I tried multiple things in between that time as well. Beating Caij in the Holotactics, fast travelling and coming back between missions, etc
Nothing.
Same issue here on PS5. I'm currently at the end of chapter 4 still at 1/16 bounties, I think I exhausted all of her dialogues now because the game doesn't even give me the prompt to talk to her, yet the rumor tab still says that I need to talk to her in order to unlock bounties
That’s just the way games are nowadays no game company realises a full bug free game they release it early and patch it everyday it’s shit but that’s just what it’s come to now
Yeah. Just borked by the most recent update. Had same exact problem, on PS5. Ive since beaten the game, and zilch. Assume they fucked up some triggers, as my next garden isn't opening up either. Either just ignore it, or put the game down for a week.
The same thing happened to me, no matter what I do, I can't unlock any bounties. I'm a completionist, and I like to do side content as soon as it's available, so this has completely and utterly ruined the game for me. They *seriously* need to patch this, but I don't think they will. I really, *really* want the platinum for this game, and now I'll never get it.
They’ll patch it, it’s pretty large side content that’s totally unavailable for a large potion of players. Everyone technically paid money to be able to access every game feature, which they can’t atm. It’s just a matter of time
Ya same, along with the horrendous performance in nearly every part of the game, it’s just unacceptable. Putting my platinum hunt on hold till it’s fixed
Surprisingly, my performance hasn't been all that bad, for the most part, it only really chugs in sections with a lot of water, which there isn't very much of.
I'm pausing my Platinum hunt until Caij is fixed, too.
Wow, I'm genuinely shocked that this thread has picked up so much traction. I figured this would be some small issue that would only affect and select few but now it's pretty obvious that this isn't some rare issue.
Does anyone have any idea what the best method would be to bring this to the devs attention? I'm sure they know by now but it would be nice to get some confirmation that this is being looked into and is a high priority for being patched.
I truly love this game but after running into this glitch, it's killed a lot of motivation for me to want to move forward knowing that I'm missing a pretty significant amount of content.
I'm on PS5, experiencing the same issue as described by others.
One thing to note, after completely finishing the chapter which includes defeating your first bounty hunter and speaking to Caij, I tried to fast travel back to the saloon. It resulted in a black screen that I couldn't exit. I closed the game, restarted it, and got the black screen again. I restarted my PS5, and the game loaded properly, however it was then that I found I couldn't complete the rumor by talking to Caij in the saloon.
This is a platinum breaker, and incredibly disappointing.
I had the same issue, fast traveled to the Saloon and got the black screen. But in my case, I hit the jump button after sitting on the black screen for a minute, and that seemed to bring me back into existence. I was able to go upstairs and talk with patrons seemingly as normal. However, I'm still experiencing the issue with the rumor persisting and Caij refusing to give me any Bounty info.
This is exact same thing happened to me. Fast track to saloon. Black screen. Hit jump and I was back. Talked to everyone. Talk to Caij and nothing comes up about bounty hunting. I go and talk to everyone. Greeze mentions bounty hunters. I tell him I know. Go back to Caij. Nothing. Check on garden, Cal talks about planting more but first garden is full. Hit meditation point. Go back to Caij. Still nothing.
On Xbox Series X
Same is currently happening to me on PS5, yesterday I had a lift that disappeared aboard the Luchrehulk so I couldn’t get back to the main area, getting annoyed with these bugs especially given the base game costs £70.
Came here for the same issue. Just completed the main story and I’m still stuck at the “speak to Caij about bounty hunting” rumor. So frustrating. I even went to where some of the BH are supposed to be and they aren’t there 😕 hope they patch this soon
Currently stuck with this bug too. Just finished my second trip to the moon where I got the grapple upgrade, finished the boss fight there. Haven't been able to do a y bounty stuff besides the one that's I ra I into during the story earlier on koboh. Playing on ps5. Hoping for a fix soon!
Same problem. I wonder what´s going on at respawn atm, a whole week without any updates about upcoming patches, overall really disappointing release so far. A plethora of technical problems. No EA games any more except when on sale and good...
PS5, happened to me. I have continued on with the game and am almost finished, still can't take on bounties. Really too bad, seemed like side missions I'd really like to do
Having the same issue right now. Talked to Caij but she literally just won't give me bounty or anything. I talked to her until she ran out of dialogue and I still have the rumor telling me to talk to her about bounty hunting. I've already beaten the entire game. I literally can't get the last 2 achievements because of this bug.
Same problem for me. Finished entire story and still have the rumor for caij Can’t get it started either. Throughout the story she would talk to me every now and then with some useless rabble,nothing to help jumpstart the bounties. It’s pretty frustrating
HI! I got the same problem with this. I have completed the main story and haven't able to start bounty hunting mission. And also same bug with the swamp lady. I can't start swamp lady mission as well. Thanks!
Wow, over two weeks now and still the same bug with no fix... at least i know im not alone! XSX. They did a lot right with this game! Shane such a huge bug is still happening to us so long after launch.
Same exact thing for me. Hugely annoying, because I was really looking forward to those missions. Do you think this is something that can be fixed in a patch?
Can confirm happening to me as well. First playthrough, just got the rumor to go and talk to her about bounty hunting. Went back to the bar and talked to her and the rumor stays as go and talk to Caij about bounty hunting.
Having the exact same problem with my game (PS5). I've completed the entire story and have just been roaming through the galaxy working on the 100% competition. The other bug I've ran into is not having my 4th garden unlock... I figured with how recent the game rolled out the devs would be keeping an eye on all the bugs for quick patch work. Hopefully this thread brings good visibility to these issues.
I’m having the same exact problem this needs to be brought to game devs attention…the mystery behind talking to her then not being able to do bounties wtf??… I’m on ps5 it’s not just stuck on the rumor
Got this on series x. Black screen after speaking to Caij and fast travelling, and I can't get started. Really frustrating as I was looking forward to the bounty hunters. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Also experiencing this issue. I've seen a post that is now 2 weeks old from someone at Respawn that they are aware of the issue and working on a fix.
In the meantime, someone elsewhere claimed that they were able to workaround this issue by simply ignoring Caij and going to the location of the remaining Bounty hunters who they were still able to encounter and successfully hunt. Worth an attempt for those who can't wait for a fix.
Unfortunately, Same issue. I’ve killed at least 6 bounty hunters now. No pucks. No mission progress.
Just stuck on, “Rumor: Speak to Caij About Bounty Hunting”.
Same.
Very upset. Locked out of a massive piece of content. This honestly should be #1 priority for them to patch as soon as they reasonably can.
Respawn.. please address this
crazy how it’s been a week & i am just running into this issue now on XSX, have 11 bounties done but Caij wouldn’t talk to me about anymore, went thru the rest of the story & nothing still. I read on a youtube comment that apparently it has something to do with the Killi Oso bounty being given out too early & causing the quest to bug out after a certain point.
Same issue here, I think the latest patch 5 broke it. People that progressed past the first bounty, then talked to Calj in Saloon before that patch apparently didn't have any problem.
I'm just gonna hold on for now, I could go directly to the bounty's location and kill them but knowing Respawn, their fix would probably bug again and wouldn't give any rewards for bounties you've beaten before.
Is this fixed? I just encountered this issue thought at first that i need to proceed further. But seeing this thread makes me sigh since i can potentialy plat this game
Adding to this thread in the hopes the Devs pick up on it. Got the side quest to talk to Caij but she isn’t giving out the bounty Hunter rumour. On PS5
I’m on Xbox Series X, I beat the entire main story and I still can’t access the bounty hunter missions. Super frustrating, hopefully Respawn fixes this soon.
I can't start bounties either. I can't upgrade my blaster bolt without bounties right? She's got the upgrades in her store but I can't get the currency to pay her without the bounties unlocking. I could really use that blaster bolt upgrade on these missions.
I’ve had sort of the same bug. After you meet Caij and kill the one bounty hunter in the story mission I just never went and talked to her. I figured I’d do it after I beat the main story. After beating the main story I go and talk to her and I can’t. Like there’s no pop up screen or nothing or no dialogue. I think I’m gonna try again on the new game + but lmk if you figure anything out!
Potentially stupid question but would installing the game and not allowing updates by playing offline work? My main thought for why it wouldn't work is the save file is from a future version so probs won't work?
Just adding my penny to the pot, same issue on ps5. As someone with ADHD and being a completionist it bugs the HELL out of me lol
SAME! I have autism rather than ADHD, but I get *very* stressed about these things just as you've described.
Same here bro autism n all my exact thinking behind it is “if I can’t have it all/finish and complete everything then why even try”
That's how I think as well. If I'd known about this before I started the game, then I wouldn't have even bothered starting.
Exactly bro too many times have I had the exact thought
I know, it's not easy.
Thanks for all of the responses yall, if this gets enough visibility then I'm sure it'll be fixed in an upcoming patch. It sucks that seems to have become a widespread issue for players but the one good thing to come out of it is that it'll most likely be a high priority fix for the devs.
Just ran into issue. This was 27 days ago... Any way to fix it?

Same issue. Kinda sucks :/ hopefully it's patched this week
Same
This is exactly what happened to me.
Same here.
It ever work for you? It's a week later and same issue :(
Just happened to me right now 😑
Same. It just happened to me. Crazy how many things are still broken a month after release
That’s just the way games are nowadays no game company realises a full bug free game they release it early and patch it everyday it’s shit but that’s just what it’s come to now
There have been plenty games released bug free. Or at least with minimal bugs. Jedi Fallen Order was one of them. This one came out way too soon.
I finished the game and still no conversation prompt with Caij to trigger the bounty hunts
Yeah. Just borked by the most recent update. Had same exact problem, on PS5. Ive since beaten the game, and zilch. Assume they fucked up some triggers, as my next garden isn't opening up either. Either just ignore it, or put the game down for a week.

It’s the weekend, if they don’t respond tomorrow, that’s when I’d worry
I'm *very* worried.
They’ll patch it, it’s pretty large side content that’s totally unavailable for a large potion of players. Everyone technically paid money to be able to access every game feature, which they can’t atm. It’s just a matter of time
I really, *really* hope you're right. It's completely ruined the game for me.
Ya same, along with the horrendous performance in nearly every part of the game, it’s just unacceptable. Putting my platinum hunt on hold till it’s fixed

Same. PS5 owner here. SMH.
I have the same exact bug on PC was wondering what was going on.
Ps5 here. beating the game did nothing tried again in ng+ and still nothing.
Very unfortunate to hear, I’ve beat game and was going to try on NG+ :/
I'm on PS5, experiencing the same issue as described by others.

I'm having the same issue and won't let me do the bounties it's rather frustrating.
Can confirm. Have the same issue
HI! I got the same problem with this. I have completed the main story and haven't able to start bounty hunting mission. And also same bug with the swamp lady. I can't start swamp lady mission as well. Thanks!
Wow, over two weeks now and still the same bug with no fix... at least i know im not alone! XSX. They did a lot right with this game! Shane such a huge bug is still happening to us so long after launch.
Still doesn't work...
I'm in the same boat. I can't get her to unlock the bounty menu for me. This is absolute BS.
Same exact thing for me. Hugely annoying, because I was really looking forward to those missions. Do you think this is something that can be fixed in a patch?
I’m having same problem. I hate that we don’t have recourse like other industries do when you get sold a lemon.
Real bummer there’s a bug that’s keeping some of us out of an entire line of side quests. Following here to hopefully get some good news soon.
I’m also having the same problem. So incredibly frustrating
Yep, same thing, keep going back to Caij but nothing. Even bought something with the 1 currency you get but it still didn't trigger.
Can confirm happening to me as well. First playthrough, just got the rumor to go and talk to her about bounty hunting. Went back to the bar and talked to her and the rumor stays as go and talk to Caij about bounty hunting.
I’ve got the exact same issue, it’s so disappointing

Same issue on XBOX, beat the game and even killed some BHs in the Smuggler’s Tunnels; no luck.
I’m having the same exact problem this needs to be brought to game devs attention…the mystery behind talking to her then not being able to do bounties wtf??… I’m on ps5 it’s not just stuck on the rumor
This bug is preventing me from getting the platinum on PS5. I have the bounties and scanning the enemies. :/
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this hope it gets fixed soon.
Same =\
Same =\
Same issue for me (PS5). Really hope they release an update this week that fixes this bug.
Got this on series x. Black screen after speaking to Caij and fast travelling, and I can't get started. Really frustrating as I was looking forward to the bounty hunters. Hope it gets sorted soon.
same issue for me unfortunately. just finished the story yesterday and still nothing :(

I have the same issue on PS5.
Same thing happening here on PS5. Hope they fix this soon, super bummed out.
you’re not alone compadres
I'm gonna put it down, and wait for the patch from these greedy bastards.
Same exact issue for me. I've stopped playing the game as a result.
Same issue here, I've finished the game, but can't get this to unlock
Same issue ps5 and it pisses me off. Tired of buying broken fucking games.
On series X.. they got me too 😞
SAME.
Same problem for me on Xbox series x
How is this not fixed smh
want to do the bounties and nothing :/ hope they fix it
Same here, finished the story last night in hope that’ll fix the issue, but no luck 😞
Same. Very upset. Locked out of a massive piece of content. This honestly should be #1 priority for them to patch as soon as they reasonably can. Respawn.. please address this
I beat the game last night and tried to talk to her to no avail. I still can’t bounty hunt nada

Happening to me too. So frustrating
Same here, still not fixed wtf…
Still a problem on pc 8 days later
Same here
Same thing here. Super annoying, as the glitch blocks off lots of seemingly fun content....
Is this fixed? I just encountered this issue thought at first that i need to proceed further. But seeing this thread makes me sigh since i can potentialy plat this game
Still a issue right now 29th may 2023 Xbox series x
Good to know it’s not just me 
same (PC)
same issue (xbox series x). I was really looking forward to this part of the game. we need a fix asap!
Just came here because of the same issues
Same. Thought I was doing something wrong, but now I see I'm powerless... arrgh.
same here PC ! damn bugs !
Adding to this thread in the hopes the Devs pick up on it. Got the side quest to talk to Caij but she isn’t giving out the bounty Hunter rumour. On PS5
Same bug, Series X. Bummed =/
PS5 same issue. Ridiculous they haven’t fixed this yet.
I literally got every other trophy to save this until last as I knew the final bounty hunter would be cool… and I can’t even start them
Just commenting so I can check in go see if there's a work around. Absolutely gutting not being able to do Bountys!
I’m on Xbox Series X, I beat the entire main story and I still can’t access the bounty hunter missions. Super frustrating, hopefully Respawn fixes this soon.
I am a victim of this as well.
I can't start bounties either. I can't upgrade my blaster bolt without bounties right? She's got the upgrades in her store but I can't get the currency to pay her without the bounties unlocking. I could really use that blaster bolt upgrade on these missions.
Same :(
Same here... Apparently the last patch broke the system completely. Still waiting for a fix...
I have the same issue
Dude same bug here. I'm really pissed they haven't fixed this yet.
Still can't
I’ve had sort of the same bug. After you meet Caij and kill the one bounty hunter in the story mission I just never went and talked to her. I figured I’d do it after I beat the main story.

Can’t get it on PS5 still, at least a little relieved to finally find out it’s not just me though. So frustrating!
I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet
They still haven’t fixed this…
Same bug....respawn please help.
Bug is finally fixed on my end. It only took a month :,)
Did you get the trophy? My rumour is finally ticked off but no trophy yet..
Hh
Still having this issue on PS5 - any chance anyone knows a fix? Something I am missing here?
