Apex Legends players claim Bloodhound nerfs will kill the character
Bloodhound’s getting a significant set of nerfs in the Apex Legends Double Take Collection event patch, to the point where many Apex Legends players & pros feel as if the Legend is going to fall out of the meta entirely.
Balancing scan characters has always been a difficult task for the devs, withSeer, in particular, getting targeted with nerfs to the point where the Legend got forced out of the meta entirely.
However, Bloodhound has always been a meta staple despite having a variety of nerfs sent their way over the years.
That may be changing with theDouble Take Collection Event patch notes, as Bloodhound will be getting some rework-level changes to the way their abilities function. These changes certainly aren’t buffs.

As is true of any set of nerfs, there’s a chance Bloodhound won’t be hit nearly as hard as players are expecting by this set of changes. However, Bloodhound will certainly be weaker than they were before.
