Apex Legends Season 6 treated fans with a refreshing experience in the form of exciting gameplay features and changes. A new legend Rampart joined the ranks, and the Volt SMG became available on the battlefield. Apart from the thrilling additions, the devs also handed out balancing changes to elevate the competition on the battlefield further.

Several existing legends received buffs at the beginning of Season 6, especially the Recon Class. Among the recon legends, Bloodhound received the most affection from the devs. Prior to the buff, Bloodhound already played a crucial role in gathering intel and tracking enemies.

Now, when a Bloodhound downs an opponent while Beast of the Hunt is active, the duration is extended by 5-15 seconds. Moreover, it only takes 0.9 seconds to use Eye of the Allfather, and the cooldown also reduces to 6 seconds during Beast of the Hunt. After the massive buff, Bloodhound has room for a lot more power, making them the most revered hunter in the Apex Games.
