While Fuse takes center stage with a full rework in Season 28, the iconic tracker Bloodhound is receiving a massive set of “mini-rework” buffs designed to make them a terrifying force in aggressive team comps. These changes address long-standing complaints about the Legend’s “dead time” and high ultimate cooldown, reinforcing their identity as a hunter who thrives in the heat of battle.
With the introduction of destructible Hardlight Mesh windows this season, Bloodhound’s ability to track and scan through structures is more valuable than ever for squads looking to breach fortified buildings.
Reworked tactical: Faster and more fluid scans
The Eye of the Allfather tactical has been updated to feel significantly more responsive. In previous seasons, the wind-up animation could often leave Bloodhound vulnerable during a push.
- Fluid Usage: Scans are now faster and more fluid, allowing you to reveal enemy positions without losing your forward momentum.
- Breach Synergy: This update is specifically designed to help teams capitalize on broken Hardlight windows, providing immediate intel the moment a breach point is opened.
Beast of the Hunt: Lower cooldown and higher uptime
The Beast of the Hunt ultimate is seeing its most aggressive buffs in years. To encourage more frequent usage, the base cooldown for the ultimate has been significantly reduced, ensuring Bloodhound has their “predator vision” ready for more engagements throughout a match.
- Kill Chaining: A new core mechanic has been added, scoring a knockdown while the ultimate is active now extends its duration.
- Hunt Continuation: This allows skilled players to maintain their speed boost and threat vision indefinitely as long as they continue to secure eliminations.
New Season 28 upgrades: Raven’s Flight and Taste of Blood
With the removal of older perks like Off the Grid (now base kit for Crypto), Bloodhound‘s evolution tree has been refreshed with powerful new options.
| Perk Name | Level | Effect |
| Raven’s Flight | Level 2 | Increases the range of White Ravens, providing more consistent ultimate charge and enemy tracking. |
| Taste of Blood | Level 3 | Grants a burst of healing upon a knockdown while in Beast of the Hunt. |
The Taste of Blood perk is a game-changer for aggressive players. By granting health on every knock, Bloodhound can now act as a “berserker,” staying in the fight and pushing through multiple enemies without needing to pause for syringes or medkits.
