The vampires in Redfall are the result of failed scientific experiments and not the vampires that we usually are accustomed to in pop culture. You will learn more about how they were created as you progress through the game, but you do need to know how to kill them since your regular weapons are not going to finish them off.
Vampires are typically more challenging than the cultists that you will encounter and do not die from regular attacks. In this Redfall guide, we go over how you can kill vampires.
Ways To Kill Vampires In Redfall
In Redfall, combat is fast-paced and intense, with a variety of weapons and gadgets at your disposal. There are two types of weapons: regular weaponry and anti-vampire weaponry. Regular weapons include pistols, SMGs, shotguns, and more, while anti-vampire weapons include flareguns, UV lights, and stake launchers.
Using regular weapons can down vampires, but in order to finish them off, you will need to use anti-vampire weapons. If you are unable to finish off a vampire with these specific weapons, they will get back up after a short downtime. It’s important to note that certain weapons will work better against certain types of vampires. For example, a shotgun might be effective against a swarm of weaker vampires, while a stake launcher might be better for taking down a more powerful vampire.
As you progress through the game and kill vampires, you will fill up a meter that indicates how much you have angered the vampire gods. Once this meter is completely filled, a super-powerful vampire called Rook will pop up. This is a very challenging vampire to take down alone.
Each weapon has a power level, and you will find more powerful weapons as you progress through the game. You cannot level up your weapon in Redfall, so you will need to keep experimenting with the new weapons that you find. Furthermore, weapons have tiers; white, green, blue, purple, and orange. Orange weapons have the highest tier and are typically some of the best weapons that you can get in the game.
Aside from weapons, gadgets can also be used to aid in combat. Smoke bombs, flashbangs, and grappling hook are just a few examples of the gadgets available in Redfall. Experimenting with these gadgets and finding out what works best for you can be a key factor in success.
Finally, teamwork is essential in Redfall. The game can be played solo, but it is much more fun and effective to play with others. Each character has unique abilities that can complement each other, so playing as a team and coordinating your attacks can make all the difference in taking down tough vampires and completing missions.
