The Bloodhounds are a group of Southern hunters in Manhunt 2.

Overview[]

Just like The Watchdogs, The Bloodhounds are an organization hired by The Project to capture Danny and Leo. The group is made up of bounty hunters, war veterans, obsessed deer hunters, redneck thugs, white supremacists, etc.

The Bloodhounds clearly appear to be stereotypical rednecks judging from some members wearing Confederate flag bandanas and Ku Klux Klan-styled masks as well as featuring Southern accents. They are also very racist, considering Danny to be subhuman despite him being a Caucasian. They express deep contempt for "liberals" and "anarchists".

They do their job mostly for the money, but also for the fun of hunting. They also in it out of a patriotic loyalty to America, often calling Danny an "American traitor" and a "Communist". They enjoy their job more than your average hunter, showing they're sadistic as well. They have much help from helicopters and by other Bloodhounds and are heavily armed. They also hunt in groups and are very skilled at what they do, making them tough adversaries.

They appear in the missions Most Wanted, Broadcast Interrupted and Altered State.

Their weapons of choice are the Sub-Machine Gun, the Shotgun (w/ flashlight), the Baseball Bat, the Crossbow, the Assault Rifle, the Heavy Handgun, the Light Handgun, the Flashlight and the Sickle (which is ironic, considering they hate communism).

Appearances[]

Most Wanted: Just after the Watchdogs fail to catch Danny and Leo at the Bees Honey Pot, the Bloodhounds arrive and chase Danny through the sewer and streets of Cottonmouth, with the help of the remaining Watchdogs and their helicopter which circles the sky, but many of them are killed and Danny and Leo carry on.

Broadcast Interrupted/Altered State: A few weeks after Dr. Pickman's death, the Bloodhound find them hiding at the TVMK Studio. The hunt ends with a shootout in the parking lot, before Danny makes it outside where more Bloodhounds are patrolling, who are also killed.

Trivia[]

  • A corpse of a Bloodhound can be spotted at the end of the level Broadcast Interrupted while Danny is leaving the studio. This is most likely a developer oversight or he was killed by Danny off screen.
  • As mentioned before, the Bloodhounds contain references to the Ku Klux Klan. Members are noted for calling Danny an "American traitor" amongst other insults and some wear KKK-styled masks.
    • More indications of the Bloodhounds possibly having involvement in the KKK is an odal rune tattoo that can be seen on the arm of the cone-hooded member. Another Bloodhound mentions collecting Third Reich memorabilia since the 1970's. The cone-hooded member will also mention that he has a tattoo of a phoenix rising from the ashes, referring to the Third Reich once again.
  • Six voice actors are credited for the Bloodhounds, but only five voices are actually used/found in the game files.
  • They hold many similarities to the Skinz and the Wardogs from the first Manhunt, and their overall concept can be considered a fusion of the Skinz and the Wardogs concepts, as they are a band of militant white supremacists like the Skinz, but work as mercenaries and some are war veterans, similar to the Wardogs.
    • Some members even have the same emblem as the Skinz tattooed on their arms, suggesting that they could be possibly related to the Skinz. However, what is clear is that Bloodhounds are actually dedicated to their cause (unlike the Skinz, who watch pornography, masturbate, and live in a junkyard) and are not utter failures like the Skinz.
  • The first civilian-like Bloodhound bares a strong resemblance to a civilian farmer (named Gilroy Massey) from another Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption.
  • Some of the civilian-like Bloodhounds (more specifically the one with the hat and the overalls) resemble the villager Ganados from Resident Evil 4, due to them having similar facial appearances, as well as wearing the same type of hats that they do, and even sometimes equip Sickles as weapons, a weapon that the Ganados also used.
    • The Bloodhounds are even fought in a similar environment to the Villager Ganados, as one of the levels they are fought in, Altered State, takes place in a village similar to the one in Resident Evil 4, although it is a fake village as opposed to RE4's real one.
    • The Bloodhounds will also wield Crossbows as a weapon, which wasn't used by the Villager Ganados, but was used by the Cultist and Combatant Ganados.
