It’s a big day for vampires, nightcrawlers, and all nocturnal battle royale fans out there as Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt has just released its giant Summer update today. The largest content shift since the game’s launch, players booting up the title now can expect a good number of significant changes.
]]>To create a battle royale in this day and age is an arduous and foolhardy venture. The genre is populated with numerous dead games, all built with lofty ambitions in mind. Hyperscape. The Darwin Project. Hell, even Radical Heights. Even games with genuine merit have found themselves shattered against the industry’s biggest titles. Enter Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. An incredibly fun entry by Sharkmob into a saturated market; yes, with some blemishes but entertaining nonetheless, it built a dedicated community of players and major influencer attention within in just a few weeks.
]]>I, like many back in the Summer of ‘21, was sceptical at the idea of a Battle Royale set in the world of Vampire: The Masquerade. It didn’t make sense to me, combining a cult classic RPG with an action-packed genre entirely disconnected from the political intrigue and colourful characters that made the series special.
]]>The Enforcer is one of the more versatile and combat-centric archetypes in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. Currently the one and only class in the Ventrue clan, this suave vampire is a great pick for those who like to get into the thick of it anytime, anyplace.
]]>Proof of Unlife stands out as the longest quest currently in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, and requires a whole lot of running around and searching the geography of Prague to complete. Not only that, some of the steps do not provide red squares on the map to guide you, meaning under normal circumstances you’d have to figure it out yourself.
]]>Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to track down down the location of an MIA spy in Prague while avoiding the katana swipes and assault rifle shots coming from other vampires out in the field. That’s right, its Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt's A Spy in Prague quest, which you’ll have to complete later on.
]]>There’s been a murder in Prague, and it’s up to you to find the culprit and get revenge. This is the gist of Ashes to Ashes, a quest Kirill gives you in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. It requires a bit of quest item hunting on your part as well as some combat near the end, but it’s also one of the shortest quests in the game right now.
]]>Missing agent is the first quest that your boy Omnis in the Elysium basement provides, and has you go out and search for a missing Nosferatu agent in the dark and dangerous streets of Prague. It's certainly not the hardest quest in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, but it does require a bit of snooping on your part in highly contested locations.
]]>Blood will have blood is the first proper quest you’ll receive from your good friend Custos in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, and forces you to to don your detective cap in the search for incriminating footage. Once completed, you’ll earn yourself a nifty reward as well as some information about what’s been going on in the streets of Prague since the death of the prince.
]]>Track Record is one of a few item hunt quests available from launch in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. Provided by Maia in Elysium, it has you venture out track down some appropriate music for the social hub, a hugely important task worth having you endanger yourself for.
]]>Damage Report is one of the more straightforward quests given to your in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, and acts as an introductory lesson on The Entity and their camps across the map. As such, it’s a very important quest for new players to complete in their journey to learn the ins and outs of the games.
]]>Casus Belli is the first quest in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt that requires a decent amount of time investment separate from just running over to specific locations and grabbing quest items. It involves a lot of combat, and weapon-specific tasks that’ll force you to play a certain way. Of all the quests available at the game’s launch it’s also one of the most challenging.
]]>If you’ve made a habit of chatting to Kerill in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, you’ll soon by taks with collecting bags as part of the Wrong Hands quest. This only has three steps in total, but tracking down each of the objectives will require some knowledge of Prague's geography.
]]>One of the earlier quests in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt that’ll take you on a long winded journey through Prague is Stakeout. A multi-stage exploratory adventure, this quest requires you to gohunting for quest items in highly contested areas - meaning you’ll have to dodge bullets and scour the enviroment at the same time.

]]>Dirty Work is the first real quest you get following the tutorial in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt. Not only does it take you out into the world where you have to fend off other players, but it also requires a bit of combat and exploration on your part.
]]>One of the best things going for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt, at least in terms of the game’s initial wow factor, is its presence on just the PS5 and PC rather than any of the previous generation consoles. This has allowed it to push the bar in the genre, at least technically, with all the bells as whistles leaving older platforms behind.
]]>One of the juicier features added with Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodhunt is Blood Resonance, or as it’s colloquially known, eating strangers in public.
