Apex Legends The Old Ways event went live Tuesday adding a new Town Takeover.

The Bloodhound Town Takeover, Bloodhound's Trials, arrived on Apex Legends' live servers Tuesday as part of the Old Ways event.

Bloodhound's Trials, situated in an enclosed area in the northwest of World's Edge marked by a massive stone statue of a raven, features hordes of the alien creatures known as prowlers. Fighting these monsters will yield high tier loot as a reward, attracting other players to add their guns to the conflict.

When the Apex Games expanded to World's Edge, the area's biggest predators left the area. This allowed the prowler population to balloon, according to a blog post by Respawn Entertainment. Bloodhound's Trials are the characters attempts to cull the population.

Bloodhound's Trials is the fourth Town Takeover in Apex Legends history. Octane's Gauntlet was the first, released in the Iron Crown event in August, 2019. Second came Wraith's Singh Labs in the Voidwalker event. The last Town Takeover was the Mirage Voyage, released in the Holo-Day Bash event.

The Old Ways event also brings permanent duos, map rotations, and a flurry of balance changes.
