What to Expect from Vampire Hunters in Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2

A recent development update from The Chinese Room sheds light on the vampire hunters in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2. This faction, the Information Awareness Bureau (IAB), operates secretly, funded by shadowy sources despite lacking official government backing. Their agents hunt vampires, or "Hollow Ones," under the guise of "training exercises" and "counter-terrorism operations."

Agent Baker, the IAB's Seattle leader, is a pragmatic and disciplined hunter dedicated to the permanent eradication of vampires. She meticulously investigates unusual events, poring over historical records to uncover the hidden vampire society. Her unwavering command has earned her the moniker "The Hen" amongst her loyal team.

The IAB hunters are highly coordinated, maintaining rigorous security within and around their base. Confronting them alone is incredibly difficult; they work in teams, utilize spotlights for detection, and maintain constant communication via portable radios. In combat, they employ thermic batons that bypass defenses and phosphorous grenades to flush enemies from cover. Their sniper crossbows fire explosive bolts that inflict heavy damage if not swiftly removed.

Despite their effectiveness, these hunters are not unbeatable. Physically weaker than both ghouls and vampires, they possess vulnerabilities exploitable through specific skills. For instance, the ability to manipulate fire allows for interception and redirection of grenades and crossbow bolts. Furthermore, the Ventru clan's powers enable players to possess enemies, turning them against their own team.

Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 is slated for release in the first half of 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
