For many years Bloodhound Mains have been begging Respawn to add new animations for their heirloom, Apex Legends Season 23 added Bloodhound’s Heirloom Recolor “Winter’s Bane” to the files which means Devs have also added new animations with their new vision and ideas the animators have learned since its original release lets have a look at new animations that were added with latest update for Bloodhound’s Heirloom
Table of Contents
Bottle Cap Inspect
One of the new inspect for Bloodhound’s Axe includes Artur flying past Bloodhound and handing/giving them a Bottle Cap of Koala Kola (It is an in-game soda brand that seems to have been founded by Fuse)
Tactical Device Inspect
In their second inspection animation, Bloodhound use their Axe to open their Tactical Device and power it up but don’t activate and close it again with their Axe Heirloom and the animation ends
Goliath Tooth Inspect
In their third new inspect animation Bloodhound stows their Axe Heirloom and glorifies the tooth of the “Goliath” Beast they had slayed which terrified their Town, This piece of lore was Chronicled in their Stories from the Outlands “The Old Ways” in which it was revealed that Bloodhound’s Parents were unfortunately deceased by an explosion at caused in their Homeworld “Talos”, which led their uncle Arthur to adopt Bloodhound and teach them how to hunt, One such day Artur sends Bloodhound to Hunt a Prowler to test if they are ready to take on the Old Ways, in which Bloodhound learns that another beast has slain the prowler they were supposed to hunt. which leads to them accidentally leading the “Goliath” beast into their village and a chaotic battle erupts in which their uncle Artur falls”
Before the animation ends they pay their respects saying “TilValhall” which means “until we meet again in Valhalla”
Seed Inspect
In their Fourth inspect, Artur comes flying towards Bloodhound and sits on their left arm and bloodhound takes out a seed and feeds It to Artur, and gently pets Artur. which many players seemed to have loved in the Apex Legends community
Launcher Door Kick Animation
With Bloodhound’s & Fuse relationship growing in the Apex Legends story, It only made sense to add a few hints towards their likeness to each other, just like fuse has craved his and Bloodhound’s initial onto his Guitar Heirloom “The Razor’s Edge”, Bloodhound also has a secret animation which triggers upon breaking doors in which they take out Fuse Motherload and slam the door which was previously leaked, similar to how fuse uses it in their Heirloom animation in Apex Legends
Rare Draw Animation
As usual with every heirloom animation update, there are some animations that are considered as “Rare” because there is only 1 in a 100 chance and sometimes 1 in a 1000 chance similar to wraith heirloom where the void walker wraith hands her other kunai through a portal and closes the fist. but for bloodhound Artur delivers Bloodhound their heirloom which players find very amazing and seem to appreciate
There may be more animations that haven’t been found yet since the animators love to hide a few that are super rare, so if you own the bloodhound you can try hunting for them in firing range or in between matches, some often get found in weeks while some takes months but that doesn’t change the fact that bloodhound has received one of the coolest heirloom animations, and hopefully, Bloodhound players in Apex Legends are happy to finally see their requests being fulfilled after waiting for what seemed to be almost a year
