Bloodhound Scan Not working

I play on PS4 and have been having this issue as well. The scan is bugged. You can even test on the flying dinosaur creatures in the cages. In my scenario I get the "X Hostiles Detected" message yet no outline of the enemies showing their location. I would estimate it works correctly 40% of the time and incorrectly 60% of the time. Very frustrating to say the least. Like I said earlier, this can even be tested on the NPC caged dinosaurs. I may even have had some instances where I have not detected enemies well within range but I haven't had a sure confirmed case yet. Just hunches after I felt like enemies were on my squad quickly after going undetected by the scan. Also the Beast of the Hunt ability is a guaranteed bug if you get knocked while the ability is active. The tracker has been reportedly bugged in the past but, I believe it's working correctly currently. Bloodhound is getting his/her spotlight soon and it would be nice if the abilities functioned correctly and weren't a detriment to the player and squad as a whole...

I have just had this happen to me for the 100th time. Im being chased and can clearly hear the footsteps of eneimies behind me so I use my tactical and try to pull a 180° but it says no hostiles and does not mark them in red. I proceed to get murked from both of them because they were behind the wall and ran around on me

Bumping this to provide a clip. I just commented on another post reporting this issue, but this one has more upvotes, so I am putting it here too in hopes of getting it seen.

The inconsistency on this ability’s function in season 4 has been immensely frustrating.

Just had the scan fail 3 times on Kings Canyon. We were at edge of first ring and three enemies were hiding in the ring. The scan failed to detect them 3 times in a row even as my teammate was firing at one of them. I have never noticed it before now and would have been shot in the back after the first scan had not my teammates kept looking in that direction.

I just got out of a game where this happened to me. I was looting a supply bin and I thought a heard footsteps. I activated my scan and it detected no hostiles. About a second after the ping, I got hit in the back by a peacekeeper and the rest of the enemy team was rolling up on me. I really enjoy this game but the scan not working 100% of the time is starting to annoy me.

The scan only works in the direction you are facing when you activate it, in a kind of a triangle/arc shape out from your character. So it seems like the closer you are to an enemy the more likely it is to miss them because they could be more to the side of you. If you're standing next to a hostile but they aren't in front of you they won't get picked up. The scope of the scan is more limited than I think it should be especially closest to bloodhound which is when you want it to work well. 

I definitely think this should be reworked and explained some so it doesn't trick you into thinking there is no one close to you. 

Also this is why it doesn't pick up the people that shot people from behind because they probably aren't in the scope of the scan it was done. 

I definitely was facing towards the 3 hiding in the ring. Impossible that it wouldn't have detected them.

No hostile detected, 3 seconds later, a squad appear behind us and backstabbed the * out of us. Yeah, the scan fail is still here in May 2020

I thought it used to say the number of hostiles around no matter what if you can’t see where. But I’ve been scanning mid fights sandwiched in and it only scans who’s in front. Not helping ! Clearly I hear one enemy resing’ to the left but it only scans two across in another building. Hope they fix these things soon
