Spawn Behavior

Hellhounds typically spawn within the first 6-8 rounds, and then every 5 rounds after that in packs. During a special round, the map will appear to have heavy fog, the annoucer can be heard saying "Fetch me their souls!", and the ground will shake when spawned. During certain main quest steps or objectives, hellhounds may spawn infinitely or periodically in which only the ground will shake when spawned.

Combat Strategy

Hellhounds are difficult to outrun as they are too quick, so standing your ground and fighting them head-on is the best approach. They do not have a lot of health and die in a few shots, no matter the round, but they spawn in packs. They will not begin running until they have spotted a player; in the meantime, they will walk and search for players.
