Recon

Scans and beacons

You tell the squad where the next fight is. Bloodhound is the clear first Recon. A scan that nobody pushes is a light show.

Job: Beacons, scans, info — then shootLegends: Bloodhound, Crypto, Seer, Valk (when recon)

Kit: A scan you use before the swing · Beacons on rotate · A mic or pings that are not 'enemy'

Apex Legends Bloodhound scan

Strengths

  • Ring knowledge is free RP
  • Bloodhound is the recommended 'clear value' recon
  • Stops 3v3s that were actually 3v6

Weaknesses

  • Scanning and never shooting
  • Crypto in a drone while the team 2v3s

Starter tips

  1. 1

    Start with Bloodhound if you want clear value. Movement legends punish bad positioning harder.

  2. 2

    Beacon on rotate, not after you are already late to ring.

  3. 3

    Ping the scan. 'They're one' is a sentence. Silence is a wipe.

  4. 4

    Crack, not crave — scan the cracked target so the squad swings together.
