ONE PIECE Bounty Rush is a free to play 4v4 team brawler developed by SEGA and published by Bandai Namco, where eight players fight over treasure areas across stages drawn from Alabasta, Water Seven, Marineford, Dressrosa and Onigashima. Matches are won by holding treasure, not by racking up knockouts, which is why a Runner who never fights can matter more than an Attacker with a full kill count. Characters slot into Attacker, Defender, Runner and Supporter types, carry up to three medals each, and unlock Trait 1 at level 60 and Trait 2 at level 80.
ONE PIECE Bounty Rush features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order: what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
