In the literal definition of the term a player killer is anyone who kills another player, but since every character in Urban Dead has a player behind them even killing a zombie would make you a PKer.

Player Killers
The Rogues Gallery
So you want to be a Bounty Hunter?
Good to hear. People become bounty hunters for many reasons; maybe you've been PKed yourself and want some revenge or to stop it happening to someone else, maybe you've tried the regular survivor or zombie experience and want to try something new and challenging, or maybe you just enjoy killing but only want to target those who deserve it. Whatever your reason we're happy to have you with us.
