Good to know it changes if you decide to pass on it. You also get a different one if you just save scum but that doesn't help if you're playing on the hardest level. So far I have not found any I couldn't do even on day 1 but I haven't run into a 6/6 yet. I think 4 or 5 out of 6 is the hardest I've seen so far (which is really hard on day 1).Early game I don't always take the Hard+ bounties until I'm better prepared and equipped. They change each day if you don't accept them. Yes, pay the bribe if you fail the manipulation roll. Even the lowest ($400) one is profitable as you will usually get a nice amount of cash and sometimes equipment to sell when looting, as well.
Also as far as I can tell it's impossible to both accept and also collect on a bounty on the same day you take a class. You can activate a bounty or collect on one but you don't have time to do both. Maybe if you get lucky and it's in the same area as the town hall but if you have to go get a rumor first, not happening.
I think it's still worth grinding out those classes early as an Int build while your costs are still reasonably low though, even if it handicaps your influence and income growth temporarily.
Edit: Ok just got a 5/6 with 2 guys wearing durasteel, 1 with a plasma gun, the other with an assault rifle, and 2 more guys with combat armor and assault rifles. Not happening with low tier mercs. At least not in the 3rd week when they're still low enough aim that they're all using rifles. Tried giving them all plasma guns just to see how that would go, everyone missed 100% of the time. Oddly enough, I have 5 plasma guns but zero coil guns so far.
