Bloodhound's new kit, abilities, and upgrades for Season 30
Bloodhound's passive and tactical have been largely buffed with more tweaks to how they work than they seem to be being “reworked”, but their old ultimate ability, Beast of the Hunt, has been completely replaced with the Allfather's Cloak Ultimate. Bloodhound's passive Now they can see the glowing trail enemies leave behind as they walk, while White Ravens activate more easily, removing a few seconds of friction on their kit. Bloodhound's Tactical now also delivers prolonged body scans and timed snapshot scans so Bloodhound's team can see enemies for a while. And finally, the Allfather's Cloak is a deployable that hides a squad of Bloodhounds within a specific range, with added movement speed and threat vision within.

- Bloodhound's Strategy (Reworked): Track targets with reworked tactics, which provide longer full-body scans followed by timed snapshot scans to keep prey visible for longer.
- Bloodhound's Ultimate: Allfather's Cloak (REWORKED): Throw down any Legend to hide within range, with bonus movement speed and threat vision while hidden.

Allfather's Cloak works normally Apex Legends Cloaking rules (like Mirage), which causes the cloak to break when damaged or shot. When triggered, there's an audio cue to alert nearby players of the cloaking technique, while there's a blue shimmer so Bloodhound's team isn't completely invisible to enemies, senior Respawn technical designer Devin Weiss explained to me in an interview. It still looks like a playmaker, but it will be interesting to see how it lands, how it is used, and what kind of plays come from a strong Bloodhound team. Bloodhound players also get some new upgrades this season:
- hidden view Using Ult refreshes the tactic and hides its use from enemy detection
- bird's eye White sends the Ravens to independently scout the second enemy team
- A true hunter Allows Bloodhound to re-cloak after firing a weapon
Which came first: the Bloodhound rework or the Edge of the World adjustment
Dear World's Edge map is getting a lot of exciting changes based on Bloodhound's Tribe-themed, including an Aurora Borealis lit night sky, 3 brand new POIs (Eastern Village, War Camp, Tree Settlements), the return of the Sorting Factory, construction stacks in pieces and the return of the top of the Land Masslide. The changes are explained throughout the lore, with Hammond withdrawing the planet's recovery efforts and starting a new conflict with the Bloodhounds and the people of Talos. Bloodhound returns to Talos, then, to lead his tribe against the Hammonds, razing places, moving settlements, and rooting new forests. But in all of this, was the decision to remake Bloodhound come first or did their rework of World's Edge come later? Senior Level Designer Michael Shannon explained,
“Bloodhound Rework because we jumped at the opportunity to align with Rework because we saw an opportunity to basically conclude the story we've been telling for a few years with Bloodhound and World's Edge; aligning with Rework felt like a really big opportunity that we couldn't pass up.”

New weapon stats and looting changes remind Apex players of Hunter
to give Apex Legends Giving players more information to make key decisions has been Respawn Entertainment's guiding principle over the years, so the decision to finally provide players with actual weapon stats lines up by providing as much key information as possible. With the launch of Apex Legends In Season 30, players will finally have solid stat numbers and blocks to see how key attachments affect or affect guns. Apex Legends. This change was prompted by the new Corrupted Attachments because these powerful items buff weapons, like all attachments, but they also come with weaknesses. Respawn game designer Casey O'Brien talked to me a little bit about how these attachments affect the risk/reward or push-pull of combat. top:
“At a high level, corrupt attachments do exactly what you say. They're a kiss/curse mechanic… The idea behind it was really to add an extra layer of complexity and skill, like 'when I'm looting, what do I want to pick up?' A lot of the time, that starts and ends with your Amp, your weapon, especially the weapon space, and that's how it is for the rest of the game. And Corrupted Attachments is really that extra layer: when you're looting, when you're passively running around the world, you find one of these, and you have to ask yourself, 'Do I want to take this? Will it benefit my loadout? Does it make me more powerful? Can I face the weaknesses, or do I leave it for others?' So that's really like the big concept around Corrupted Attachments, and we're really excited to see what players do with them because of all the unique advantages and disadvantages. You start looking at different weapons and what they do with each other and you get a lot of good combinations.”
Bloodhound is the star of Season 30
While there are many exciting upcoming changes Apex Legends Season 30, it's clear that Bloodhound's rework is the star. Fans can easily expect Bloodhound to get the “new character treatment” where their pick rates increase for a few weeks, but the most interesting part is where it lands afterwards. Bloodhound is one of the OGs Apex Legends It's definitely worth seeing the characters who were initially information recipients for some squads, and all this new information that comes with them.
