Who is Bloodhound?

Bloodhound is the child of two engineers who died in an industrial meltdown at the factory where they worked on Talos. Bloodhound’s uncle Artur took them in and trained them to hunt.

Strength in Battle Royale

5/5 As we will see, Bloodhound’s abilities are extremely useful for Battle Royale mode – almost a bit too strong…
Strength in Arenas 4/5 Bloodhound’s abilities translate well into the smaller arenas. However, there are some legendaries that benefit more from their abilities in this setting, which is why Bloodhound is more A-tier than S-tier in arenas.
What are Bloodhound’s abilities?
Tactical Ability: Eye of the All-Father
Briefly points out enemies, traps, and tracks in all structures in front of you – a sort of fast wallhack. The scan pulses and highlights enemies in red.

Recharge Time: 25 seconds

In a 125° cone in front of you, all enemies, traps, and tracks are highlighted in red.
Enemies remain highlighted for 3 seconds, while traps remain highlighted indefinitely.
The scan will tell you how many enemies have been detected, unless there are more than 10, in which case you will get the message “10+ ENEMIES DETECTED”.
Passive ability: Detect Lesx
Reveals tracks left by your opponents. The little red symbols are highlighted again to show exactly what happened here. Bloodhound can tell exactly where a weapon was reloaded or a wound was tended to, for example. The clues disappear after 90 seconds.

Ultimate Ability: Mostx of the Hunt
Sharpen your senses. This allows you to move faster and mark your prey.

• Recharge Time: 3 minutes
• Effect:
• Lasts 30 seconds*, but ends immediately when turned off.
• The world turns black and white, but all enemies and their steps are highlighted in red.
• You receive a 30% speed boost.
• While Masterx of the Hunt is active, your tactical ability recharges in only 9 seconds, not 25.
• *Killing an enemy extends the effect by 5 to 15 seconds.

How to play Bloodhound

Playstyle of Bloodhound
Bloodhound should be played very aggressively, she/he is what you would call an “entry fragger” in other games, but you still need to find a good balance. Scans are most effective when attacking a team as soon as you have exposed them, that is while the enemies are still marked. However, the enemies will notice when you use your scan. Therefore, it is important that you learn to judge when it is worth using the scan and when it is better to do without it. If the scan reveals too many enemies, there is no shame in retreating, because the scan is not just for pushing. Since enemies can see the scan, it can also be worthwhile to use it to bait enemies or scare them, for example, by showing them “We’re here!”.

The role of Bloodhound in the team
Bloodhound can be a great leader in an Apex team. You’re not the legend who rotates a lot or tries to flank opponents, but you’re always with at least one buddy, gathering information for the team. With your passivity, you’ll be able to keep your team informed about nearby enemies, putting you in the perfect position to make the right announcements as squad leader.

The best weapons and equipment for Bloodhound
There isn’t really a piece of equipment that Bloodhound needs more than other team members, except maybe the “Ultimate Accelerator”. There are legendaries that need it even more, but Bloodhound’s ultimate ability is extremely important to your team, especially in the early game.

When it comes to weapons, you should always have something for aggressive advances, such as a shotgun or the R99. In addition, it is best to have an all-rounder in the second slot.

Primary weapon Mastiff, Peacekeeper or R-99
Secondary weapon Hemlock, Flatline, R-301
What legends go best with Bloodhound?
Here are some of the best legends to play in a squad with Bloodhound:

In Duos: Bangalore
In Trios: Bangalore , Valkyrie , Horizon , Pathfinder
Bloodhound works best with nimble legendries who can react quickly to information from you. Bangalore, however, is the best partner for Bloodhound, as their smoke grenades combine perfectly with your tactical ability and ultimatum. First fog everything and then mark and kill the enemies with the smoke – a divine combination.

How to counter Bloodhound?
Here are a few tips on how to counter Bloodhound:

Bloodhound players often overestimate themselves when they scan you or trigger their ult and then go after you without waiting for their team. Take advantage of this and focus on taking Bloodhound out quickly.
If you have been scanned by Bloodhound, you should immediately prepare to be pushed. You can also use the scan to lure Bloodhound by moving in a certain direction while you are marked, and immediately change direction to surprise the enemies.
Bloodhound will glow red when the ultimatum is triggered. So you can spot his/her position very easily. The sound that the ultimatum makes is also very easy to spot, so you can usually see and hear the bloodhound from far away.
These are some basic tips that will help you fight Bloodhound.

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

• Genre: Battle Royale shooter
• Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
