Apex Legends has some neat characters, positive. But a masked, non-binary large game hunter who’s crawled outta Old Norse mythology by the use of Chernobyl backed by a pack of crows? I believe Bloodhound may take the highest spot. This month, Respawn are lastly giving Blothhundr their due with The Old Ways, a two-week lore occasion that lastly provides the hunter some worthy prey – and a few cosmetics too, I suppose.
But first, we get a glance again at Bloodhound’s dwelling life with the area vikings, as they don their weird headgear for the primary time and be taught – as any ApeLegs participant will let you know – to not choose up a cost rifle should you can’t deal with the kickback.
I’d nonetheless prefer to be associates with a crow. It appears neat.
Of course, a hunter wants one thing to hunt – and a free-to-play shooter occasion wants a hook. Like with Octane’s racetrack in King’s Canyon, Bloodhound is getting their very own themed area on World’s Edge. The relatively-unused Northwest of the map is now Bloodhound’s Trials, an enclosed reserve stuffed with high-tier loot. Tempting? Well, it’s not different gamers you’ll must hold a watch out for, thoughts – Bloodhound’s Trials is swarming with Prowlers, vicious Titanfall dog-dinos which have arrange store on this nook of Apex.
Naturally, there’s a complete heap of cosmetics to unlock – together with a bony duplicate of Bloodhound’s hometown outfit. As per, these are unlocked by the now-standard occasion tracker, with extra variations rotating out and in of the in-game retailer. Cosmetics from Legendary Hunt are additionally making a short comeback.
Beyond Bloodhound, there are some sizeable modifications coming to ApeLegs. After teasing its return in numerous varieties for months, Kings Canyon is coming again for good on rotation with World’s Edge. It’ll be playable within the base game’s trios or the brand new, everlasting Duos mode.
I’m undecided how I really feel concerning the latter, thoughts – for me, Duos by no means felt tangibly totally different sufficient from the bottom game, apart from having fewer weapons to cowl your again. These additions go stay when The Old Ways kicks off on Tuesday seventh, with the Bloodhound occasion operating ’til April 21st.
