Today, we are excited to dive into a brand-new feature that we believe will be a true game-changer in Bloodbound. Introducing *Buddy Vision* in update 0.5.1! With this feature, you'll now have the ability to see your teammates at all times, even when they’re out of sight or behind walls. This was designed to enhance your awareness of the battlefield, because in Bloodbound, teamwork is absolutely crucial.


But that’s not all—Slayers also benefit from seeing ammo box drops around the map, highlighted with a subtle glow to make them easier to spot in our notoriously dark environments. Speaking of darkness, we’ve brightened up our levels slightly to balance the fast-paced gameplay. We realized that while vampires thrive in the shadows, Slayers needed a bit more visual clarity to even the odds, especially now that vampires have more agility with their new leaping abilities.
