Quick Answer

Do not use pre-Marked Bloodhound timing by habit. Read the current ability and upgrade text, test scan reach and cooldown in the Firing Range, then rebuild your entry routine around confirmed tracking information.

Why old Bloodhound habits need a reset

Marked explicitly includes a Bloodhound rework. Because live-service numbers and upgrade text can be hotfixed, the safest first step is the in-game kit screen backed by EA's current patch notes—not a pre-season build video.

A three-test Firing Range routine

  • Activate each tracking tool at a known distance and note what the UI actually reveals.
  • Time when information becomes actionable and when it becomes stale.
  • Repeat while moving into an entry angle so the scan supports the squad rather than arriving after contact.

FAQ

Should I copy an older Bloodhound build?

Only after confirming every referenced perk and timing still exists in Marked. The rework is the version boundary.

Requirements

  • Marked update installed
  • Access to Firing Range

Steps

  1. 1

    Read the live kit

    Compare every ability and upgrade description with your pre-Marked expectations before selecting perks or calling scan timing.

  2. 2

    Measure the new information loop

    In the Firing Range, test activation, visible feedback, effective reach, and the time until the next usable scan.

  3. 3

    Rebuild squad timing

    Call the scan before your entry, confirm what information the squad actually received, and avoid pushing on stale markers.

Common Mistakes

  • Quoting an old cooldown or range from memory.
  • Using scan information after the enemy has had time to rotate.
