- 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.

Charge time | 3 minutes |
- 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.
- Upon activation, immediately deploys a White Raven which flies toward the nearest enemy. Each enemy downed will cause additional White Ravens to spawn.
- 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.
- Any players affected by Now You See Me... and Crypto's perk Off the Grid won't be highlighted.
- 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
“ | Bloodhound is known across the Outlands as one of the greatest game hunters the Frontier has ever seen. The child of two engineers stationed at the New Dawn industrial plant on Talos, Bloodhound was taken in by their uncle Artur after a meltdown destroyed the facility and killed both their parents. Artur taught them the Old Ways, a belief system that focuses on the glory of nature and rejects modern technology. Yet Bloodhound was constantly drawn to technological marvels, and ultimately used both new and old methods to take down a Goliath that preyed on the people of their village, forever changing their life’s path.
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. Their unparalleled tracking skills are a boon to any team they join, helping them root out hidden opponents and track enemy movements. Calling on Earth’s Old Norse Gods to guide them, Bloodhound believes that destiny is a path that has already been laid out, eventually carrying all to their death. But with that knowledge comes strength, because until that day comes, Bloodhound knows they can’t be stopped. |

Trivia
- Bloodhound has been confirmed as non-binary and using they/them pronouns by Respawn Community Manager Jay Frechette[6], Bloodhound's voice actress Allegra Clark[7], and Narrative Director Mohammad Alavi[8].
- 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.
