As stated before, you need to have done the main and side missions. This seems to be because it recycles the side mission locations for the Search and Destroy missions- the first part of HVT hunting.

When you visit a safehouse and get the S&D missions, each one you complete gets you "intel". This particular "intel" isn't throwaway collectable like drones and phones; these are essentially another different "currency" only usable with the HVT officers in the post office (standing almost across from the DZ vendor, between the Cannine Unit setup and the lootable Scavenger Crate). Guy on the left gives daily bounties, lady on the left does weekly. Daily bounties reset at the 8pm (eastern) reset.

Each bounty costs x amount in "intel". Daily bounties appear to be easier, and give PX as rewards, how much depends on which bounty (example, cheapest is 5 intel- 15 PX; highest is 15 intel for 25 PX). The weeklies are more expensive and "recommend group". They give more Phoenix Credits and/or skins and items... looks like the highest two give Teal items, but need to test the theory as I haven't tried for a weekly bounty.

Again, this is a great way to have shit to do besides DZ, especially since the devs are super intent on making it a breeding ground for trolls and paranoia. It gives a shot at shit without having to look over your shoulder for someone who lets you do the heavy lifting then cap you in the ass.


TL;DR - I dig it.
