⚡

Vampire Abilities

4 unique powers unlocked on transformation

Claw Strike

A three-stage melee combo attack. Chain all three hits together for maximum damage output.

Absorb

Draw in materials from the ground to gradually restore your health. Useful for sustaining fights without consuming regular consumables.

Blood Sense

An awareness ability that highlights nearby survivors, making it easier to track and pursue targets.

Map & POI Overhaul

Erangel redesigned with supernatural zones

Vampire Takeover Zones

Four major areas — Rozhok, Mylta, Quarry, and Gatka — have been reimagined with gothic aesthetics and integrated mission chains tied to the vampire storyline.

Nightkeeper's Hunter Guild

Stalber and Sosnovka Military Base are converted into enclosed combat arenas. Each location features lore, environmental puzzles, and interactive objects for players to discover.

Hunter Shooting Range

A new training facility offering aim practice with rewards for performance. Available as a side activity within the mode.

Clock Towers

Spread across the map, these structures can be shot to release a stunning pulse that temporarily disables nearby hostile creatures.

Scream Crates

High-value supply crates that require a decryption interaction to open. Failing the decryption triggers a loud alarm that alerts every enemy in the vicinity.

👹

Hostile Creatures & NPCs

New enemies roaming the transformed Erangel

Bloodwalkers

Ground-based creatures that actively chase players. They patrol specific zones and grow more aggressive as the match progresses.

Nightbats

Airborne threats that dive down and release disorienting sonic wave attacks. Watch the skies while looting.

Vampire Elder

A powerful boss-tier entity. Defeating it grants major rewards, but be warned — it passively buffs all nearby creatures while alive.

The Nightkeeper

A unique NPC found within the Hunter Guild locations, tied to the mode's mission chain and lore.
