What are Bloodseeker Grenades in Warzone and MW2?

Bloodseeker Grenades are limited-time throwables on Vondead and Al Mazrah. These grenades are nasty as they latch onto enemies and highlight them in thermal vision. Think “Snapshot Grenade” with a twist, and that’s what the Bloodseeker Grenades are all about.

Visibility is poor in the new night-themed maps, so anything to help deal with that is a huge advantage. Like standard Snapshot Grenades, the ability to highlight opponents is incredibly strong. If your squad is nearby when you land a hit, your opponent is as good as dead.

The new nighttime decor has made dark corners and water more dangerous, as it’s easy to lose your opponents there. According to the official Call of Duty blog, the Bloodseeker Grenades don’t work on underwater enemies. Remember this if you’re chasing an opponent, as the waterways are easy for them to give you the slip.

Where can I find Bloodseeker Grenades?

At the time of writing, Bloodseeker Grenades are either extremely rare or not in the game at all. I’ve yet to encounter these new throwables during my playtime. If that changes, we will update this article, but Raven Software has noted that several additions to the Haunting event will drop on October 20, 2023.

Zombies that roam the map have a chance to drop a Haunted Box when defeated. These spooky crates can drop Ammunition, Armor Plates, and equipment, including the Bloodseeker Grenades. If you prefer to keep a distance from your undead foes, Haunted Boxes also spawn around the map.

Every lootable container has a chance of containing a “Jump Scare,” so beware of these if you’re hunting for Bloodseeker Grenades. The official Call of Duty blog calls these scares “Hallucinations.” In reality, it’s just a picture with a loud noise, and it’s something you’ll have to get used to during the Haunting event. If you dislike the Jump Scares, check out our guide on how to turn them off.
