Bloodhound's Tactical Makes Them a Perfect Mirage Counter

Mirage's ultimate ability allows him to create a huge mob of hologram Mirages to trick enemies into shooting at the wrong Mirage. But as the ultimate hunting Legend, Bloodhound can see straight through the trickery.

In a clip posted to the Apex Legends subreddit Thursday, u/xRagingWrathx demonstrated how to counter Mirage's ultimate perfectly with Bloodhound's tactical ability.

With just a single living Mirage between them and a win, xRagingWrathx activated Bloodhound's tactical ability before entering the building in which the Mirage hid. When they did so, it marked both the downed enemy outside the building and the Mirage hiding inside with a gold diamond.

When xRagingWrathx entered the building, they saw that the Mirage had activated their ultimate, filling the room with distracting false Mirages. Luckily, the Bloodhound tactical ability still marked the true Mirage with a gold diamond, making the kill trivial.

As perhaps the only way to mark out the true Mirage with certainty, Bloodhound's tactical just became more useful than ever.
