Reelaboración de Bloodhound en la temporada 30 de Apex Legends: explicación de su nueva habilidad definitiva

Apex Legends Season 30, titled Marked, replaces Bloodhound’s old solo-focused ultimate with a squad-wide stealth ability and rebuilds the passive and tactical around it, turning the launch-era tracker into a full hunter. There’s no new playable Legend this cycle, so the rework is the entire hook of the update, alongside a reworked World’s Edge, an energy weapon overhaul and a new attachment tier. This guide breaks down exactly what changes in Bloodhound’s kit, what old habits stop working, and what else is landing on August 4.

All three of Bloodhound’s abilities are being retuned, and the two biggest shifts are the Passive and the Ultimate. The Passive now makes enemies leave a clear glowing trail as they move, replacing the older, harder-to-read movement marks. White Ravens also fly further and no longer need a scan or physical touch to activate — a quick glance is enough to send them out toward nearby enemies. That alone removes a step from the old “scan, then commit to a raven” loop.

The Ultimate is the headline change. Bloodhound has a new, refined set of abilities including an entirely new ultimate to help them keep up with the faster pace of modern Apex, and the old solo-frenzy ultimate is gone entirely. In its place is Allfather’s Cloak, an ultimate that cloaks any teammates in its range, granting them increased speed and threat vision. In this state teammates become semi-transparent with increased movement speed and improved enemy visibility, and the cloak effect persists for 12 seconds after leaving the ultimate area, or until the player takes damage or fires a weapon. One outlet also reports Bloodhound is getting three new upgrade options to layer onto this kit, adding further customisation to how aggressively or defensively you play them — treat that detail as reported rather than fully locked until the patch notes go live.

The identity stays the same — Bloodhound is still built around tracking enemies down — but the execution shifts from a solo information tool to something a full squad benefits from. Everything about Bloodhound’s kit is being tweaked, though the core identity of their abilities is staying the same: Bloodhound is still first and foremost a tracker who hunts down enemies through scans and hints from ravens, now retuned to keep up with the quickening pace of the game. The tactical scan now leaves full-body snapshots visible for a longer window, so your team can study positioning even after the pulse fades.

Popping the ultimate alone to hunt a single target

The old ultimate rewarded a lone-wolf push — pop it, get vision and speed, go find a fight solo. That behavior actively wastes value now, since Allfather’s Cloak is built for a coordinated group entry rather than a one-person scan. Using it away from your squad means the cloak’s speed and visibility perks go to nobody but you.

Treating the Tactical as a one-time information dump

Veteran players are used to firing the scan, taking the read, and moving on. With snapshot pings extending the scan’s usefulness after the initial pulse, holding position or delaying a push slightly to let the follow-up information land is now worth more than it used to be.

After the rework, Bloodhound reads less like a lone scout and more like an initiator for aggressive squads that want a coordinated push, which pairs naturally with players already grinding the Apex Legends ranked climb and looking for a Legend that can force fights on their terms rather than just gather intel from a distance.

World’s Edge now takes on a nighttime look tied to Bloodhound’s tribe, and the tribe has claimed Climatizer, rebuilt around a massive Longhouse, one of three new points of interest. The full map rundown is in our Season 30 Marked breakdown.

Energy weapons now run on a regenerating stockpile instead of ground ammo, and Corrupted Attachments replace Gold attachments with one big buff and a real downside per gun. How both systems work is covered in the Season 30 energy weapons and Corrupted Attachments guide.

Rampart moves faster while deploying Sheila and her Amped Walls build faster and absorb more damage; Loba’s Black Market ultimate has a reduced cooldown.

Season 30 went live on August 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT (5:00 PM UTC), a same-day rollover from Season 29, “Overclocked.”

Buried under the Bloodhound headlines is a hardware cutoff that a lot of players are searching for on its own. Apex Legends’ 30th season, “Marked,” goes live on August 4, 2026, bringing the biggest rework of Bloodhound since launch, a rebuilt World’s Edge, a new Corrupted Attachments system, and the permanent shutdown of the game on the original Nintendo Switch. Season 29 was the last content update that platform received, and from August 4 onward the original Switch hardware no longer connects to Apex servers at all. This does not affect Switch 2 or any other platform — it is specific to the first-generation console.
