The diversity of characters in Apex Legends and their individual backstories sets the BR apart from other titles in the genre. Respawn has successfully established a community loyal to their game, and sometimes the creativity on display is enthralling.

An Apex fan recently showcased their creativity in the form of a spectacular trailer, featuring Bloodhound, the most feared hunter in the Frontier. The creator of the minute-long trailer is Slava A, a filmmaker working at GoldenLane Studio.

Fan-made CGI short for Apex Legends brings Bloodhound to life

The footage switches between Bloodhound’s POV and a third-person perspective. The trailer showcases the Technological Tracker coming across the leftovers of a battle that took place recently. They discover smoke grenades, empty firearm magazines, and shield batteries scattered on the ground.

Bloodhound summons their Beast of the Hunt ultimate and begins hunting down those who survived the encounter. Consequently, they locate an unsuspecting duo of Pathfinder and Bangalore and embark on their hunt to take them out. The trailer concludes with the tracker emerging the victor as they say the signature line, “I am blood hunter, you can call me Bloodhound. Find me, and we will battle.
