We know games like Fortnite and Apex Legends are both considered among some of the best battle royale games out there, but they really couldn't be any more different. Well, most of the time, anway. This Fortnightmares, though, Epic Games is borrowing a little something from Respawn Entertainment in the form of the Fortnite Wolfscent ability. This unique feature attributed to the Howler Claws, which are only available in-game during the Fortnightmares event, bear a striking resemblance to parts of Bloodhound's kit, a tracker from Apex Legends. Allow us to explain.
When you have Fortnite's Howler Claws equipped, you can activate something called Wolfscent. Available for a limited time before a cooldown period, this ability will give you tracking vision and repeatedly mark enemies in a nearby area. Does this sound at all familiar? Well, if you play Apex Legends, it might. This sounds like a strange amalgamation of Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather tactical and Beast of the Hunt ultimate.
Interestingly, to balance this ability, Epic Games has introduced something of a Dead By Daylight-esque heartbeat that will start when you're being tracked by someone else using the Wolfscent ability's tracking vision and grow louder the closer they get.
