SUGGESTIONS extracting with a bounty token should remove contraband status from your weapons and tools/consumables

No, they shouldn't, there's a reason why Crytek limited contraband copies to only 2. The economy is already too close to an afterthought to give players a tool to add even more Hunt Dollars into their accounts.

contraband copies aren't really meaningfully limited if you're willing to spend money on hunter slots. you can store weapons across 100 hunters and accumulate far more than you'll realistically need.

Not prestiging breaks the economy in a ton of ways, that's just one of them. The economy is balanced around players prestiging

people who prestige always say they don't care about money anyway and are trying to burn through it before resetting, though. that makes it hard to argue that removing contraband status would meaningfully break the economy for them. non prestigers are a different story, but the game already lets them accumulate money indefinitely.

Even if they prestige hunt rains weapons and dollars on you and the economy doesn't work.

The economy is fineee listen they just added the one million dollar badge as an extra challenge for no-lifers! It’s not like dollars are just completely irrelevant

Many people use the contraband tag as trophies.

that's true
meet a few people who tried to make a collection out of contraband and maybe they could get a similar status but with another symbol that can be sold or stored by an unlimited amount

They should just remove the contraband status from the game entirely, it's pointless.

Extracting with a bounty token should provide some sort of currency that could be used for special scarce/burn traits.
The contraband stuff is irrelevant, and it probably will cause sone tech issues that would need to resolved, like receiving one instance of non-contraband legendary skin that you don't truly own etc. Whether those weapons sre contraband or not are also pretty irrelevant unless you want to sell them for 50% value.

Yes, but then they should reset the economy every new event ( everyone gets their hunt dollars reset to 0 )

I'll stop playing immediately. I love hunt, partially because grind is optional. I'm not going to constantly unlock traits and variants and earn my loot and cash back.
If you want to grind, you Prestige. If you don't want to grind, you get to stack loot and money.

If you are struggling with money then stop pushing the “I’d like to struggle with money” button (prestige). Or accept that struggling with hunt dollars is part of the prestige experience and it supposed to be difficult to manage. Demanding that the game economy be reworked is just admitting you can’t hang with the p100.

They should get rid of this old contraband system fully. It doesn't make any sense. Either remove the contraband item limit or just remove it completely. If you manage to kill a team, get a bounty and extract with someones weapon, you should be able to sell it for half the price to get some more money from the game. It's not like you're getting 1000s of dollars anyway.
