## Abilities

### Eye of the Allfather

 Cooldown

* Info
* Interactions
* Tips
* Bugs

* In a 125° cone in front of you, all enemies, traps, clues, and Loot Ticks are highlighted and tracked to be seen by you and your allies.
	+ The maximum distance it will highlight is 75 meters.
	+ It will also tell you how many hostiles were detected. With the maxed number of detected hostiles being 10, any higher will read as "10+ HOSTILES DETECTED".
	+ The full-body scan lasts 1 second, while the tracking marker lasts 3 seconds.
	+ Enemies caught in the scan will see 'SONAR DETECTED' on their HUD.
* It takes 1.8s for the ability to activate.

* The scan will permanently highlight  Nox Gas Traps,  Perimeter Security nodes,  Interception Pylons,  Launch Pads, and  D.O.C. Heal Drones.
* Squadmates can also see any scanned enemies or traps.
* Upon activation, the visual effect generated by the sonar is seen by everyone, including your teammates and enemies.

* As soon as you find yourself in a battle, **start scanning**. The enemy already knows your general location regardless.

* While in the Firing Range with friendly-fire on, scanning your teammates and then turning off friendly fire will make them stay scanned for the duration of their stay.
* In rare cases, the ability can deflect certain items such as grenades or Horizon's  Black Hole, even though the scan should be a visual effect.

### Tracker

 Cooldown

* Info
* Interactions
* Tips

* Actions performed by enemies leave markers that Bloodhound can see. See below for all actions that leave evidence.
	+ Clues will note how long ago they occurred, and vanish after 90 seconds.
	+ Bloodhound can ping clues for teammates, either as  *Someone's Been Here* or  *Recent Battle Here*
* When no enemies are around, Bloodhound can see White Ravens in the world, which can be interacted with to cause them to fly towards the nearest enemy.
	+ Scanning a White Raven will also activate it, and fully refunds the tactical charge.
	+ White Ravens spawns 50 meters away from your current position when you are approximately 180 meters away from the closest enemy.
	+ When activated, White Ravens will fly toward the enemy (will be about 180m from the origin) and leave a trail behind them; both the trail and new raven marker are visible on the minimap for Bloodhound and their squad.
	+ Interacting with a White Raven recovers 25% of both your Tactical and Ultimate charge.

* The [Ability] marker applies to the placement of  Domes of Protection,  D.O.C. Heal Drones, and  Dimensional Rifts.
* Wraith does not leave clues while  phasing.
* Mirage will still leave clues while cloaked from  Now You See Me....

* When going near tracks, you can call them out to your squadmates using a ping to share your knowledge with them.
* Red Tracks are fresh tracks and the enemy is likely nearby.
* Grey Tracks are old tracks. The enemy hasn't been in that area in about a minute.

### Beast of the Hunt

 Charge time

* Info
* Interactions
* Arenas
* Tips

* Lasts 30 seconds, and immediately ends when downed.
	+ Upon activation, immediately deploys a White Raven which flies toward the nearest enemy. Each enemy downed will cause additional White Ravens to spawn.
		- Scanning a White Raven during your Ultimate will overcharge your Ultimate by 25% per scan and refund the tactical charge.
	+ Downing (not killing) enemies will add 5 to 15 seconds to Beast of the Hunt timer. The seconds added to the timer depend on the remaining duration of the ability.
* Increases your speed by 30%.
* Your vision turns black and white, except for enemies, which are highlighted in red.
	+ Enemy footprints are also highlighted in red.
	+ Certain things will retain a little color, including the edge of The Ring, grenade explosions, and various enemy abilities respectively.
	+ Teammates are highlighted in blue.

* Enemy highlights are visible through  smoke and  Nox Gas.
* Enemy abilities that are still partially colored include  Nox Gas,  Perimeter Security, the  Dome of Protection, and  phasing Wraiths.

* Temporarily replaces the player's  Eye of the Allfather charges with 3 bonus charges.

* While active, you can see enemies through Bangalore's or Caustic smokes.
* Since footsteps are tracked, Beast of the Hunt is a great way of finishing off a weakened enemy or finding a hiding foe.
* Since enemies are highlighted in all red, it's much easier to see them from long to extreme range. This makes Beast of the Hunt a great scouting and sniping skill.
* Because your vision is in black and white it can be hard to see the level of enemies' shields and loot on the ground.
* When activated Bloodhound makes a noise that nearby enemies can hear. Don't activate it if you are trying to be sneaky as it can give away the general area you are in.
* Take advantage of the faster activation speed and cooldown of  Eye of the Allfather while this ability is active and scan away.

## Lore

*Main article:* Bloodhound (character)

After Bloodhound’s lover was unceremoniously killed in the Thunderdome, they vowed to win enough battles that they could both enter Valhalla… and the Apex Games were the perfect place for Bloodhound to accumulate victories. Many things have changed since then - they have contended with their guilt over the loss of those they care for, led their people to a new home, and found new love - but they continue to find a place in the Games.

## Trivia

* Bloodhound has been confirmed as non-binary and using they/them pronouns by Respawn Community Manager Jay Frechette, Bloodhound's voice actress Allegra Clark, and Narrative Director Mohammad Alavi.
* Bloodhound's Scan ability is loosely derived from *Titanfall 2'*s Pulse Blade. However, instead of throwing a sonic Kunai to reveal nearby enemies, they are instead revealed in a cone stretching out in front of Bloodhound, making it more similar to the Active Radar Pulse tactical from the original *Titanfall*.
	+ The static after-images produced before it was changed make it similar to Active Radar Pulse, while the appearance of the scanned enemies themselves are akin to the various scans abilities from *Titanfall 2*.
