What happens when the bug occurs? The bug causes bloodhound to pick up no hostiles or 1 hostile when there is around 2+ hostiles usually. Sometimes we’ve seen people fighting and bloodhound does his scan within range and it says “no hostiles” and sometimes he picks up 1 member of the team when there are usually 3 members. Sometimes you can even hear footsteps but it will still register as “no hostiles detected”. This means that the scan doesn’t register all the hostiles in the area and makes bloodhound unplayable.
What should be happening instead? He should pick up all the hostiles in the surrounding area and mark them so the team know
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you play bloodhound and use his scan you will likely pick up on this issue as it happens often to my friend and I. Sometimes the hostiles can be in visible sight in front of us and it still doesn’t scan them.

When we use bloodhounds scan ability, it sometimes doesn’t pick up all the hostiles within the range even if we can visibly see the players running in front of us. Sometimes you can even hear footsteps but it will still register as “no hostiles detected”. Other times it might pick up 1-2 members of a team but the third isn’t registered and can make bloodhound unplayable at times. He never encountered this much of a problem before the extension of his scan in season 4.
