It’s important to note, that the Bounty Hunter Crown sprite can only be obtained by winning a single match with the Loot Hacker Crown sprite. So you can technically only find 23 sprites in today’s power hour.

Bounty Hunter Sprites only level up by players eliminating other opponents while having the variant equipped. Thankfully, NPC’s and bots also count, so you can actually master the Bounty Hunter variant fairly quickly if you land near Override consoles on the map.
