Dying Light 2 Stay Human players can enjoy a week of blood-frenzied nights with the first part of The Frightening, during the Vampire: The Masquerade in-game event until next Thursday, November 2.

Prepares for a vampiric-invasion from, a story world where dark supernatural fantasy meets modern reality from the World of Darkness. Vampire: The Masquerade forms part of World of Darkness, a story world where dark supernatural fantasy meets our modern reality. This event will be the first part of The Frightening, which includes all activities taking place during the Halloween 2023 season.

On this occasion, players will be more likely to cut off limbs and inflict more damage at night, and will also get a taste for blood. VialsofBanuHaqim, Brujah, andTremereBlood will grant characters temporary powers focused on Combat, Traversal, and Survival. Vials can be found while looting Dark Hollows or Forsaken Stores, and by defeating Volatiles, Tyrants, Hives, and Revenants. Plus, players will be able to reach goals in exchange for vampiric rewards.

Players can meet Vampire: The Masquerade Event’s goals by completing Bounties and fulfilling Challenges (at a silver level, minimum) – or combining both! A player who carries out one will reach the Participation Goal – getting three Vials of either Banu Haqim, Brujah, or Tremere Blood. Completing five reaches the Warm-Up Goal, which yields the Bloodbane Blade weapon and blueprint. The Personal Goal, featuring the Banu Haqim outfit, requires 11. And if all players, together, complete 775,000 bounties and/or challenges during the event, everyone will get a Banu Haqim Charm for their weapon as well as the Haqim’s Ascent paraglider skin complete with a night glow effect appropriate for the Children of the Night.

We wonder: how many players identify with the justice-driven Banu Haqim? Or do the Brujah troublemakers sound more tempting? Maybe the preference lies with the witchy ways of the Tremere? Starting Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023, Dying Light 2 Stay Human players can purchase special Banu Haqim, Brujah, and Tremere Bundles via the in-game store for 500 DL Points. The full Banu Haqim Bundle can also be assembled for free by completing the Vampire: The Masquerade Event’s Goals.

The Vampire: The Masquerade in-game event is available free for all Dying Light 2: Stay Human players on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4|5, and PC ends on November 2.
