Coinciding game patch
The release of Deadly Dozen coincided with a supporting, free patch, Patch 1.100 for the base game, which includes:

Once you've identified which region has an active target, and have navigated to that area, you can look for the Bounty's allies who are in the new 'Liberated' faction. Once destroyed, they will reveal the location of their boss, your Bounty target, which will provide you with a claim reward once destroyed.
