New Vampire Survivors Update Brings New Stages & Weapons

The surprise hit roguelike game Vampire Survivors, which knocked our socks off, just received new content.

The Early Access title received a new 0.4.2 patch, which includes seven new achievements to unlock, a new weapon, a new weapon evolution, and a new stage. Here’s a quick list:

• 1 new stage, including new enemies and events.
• 1 new character.
• 1 new relic/gameplay option.
• 1 new weapon.
• 1 new evolution.
• 1 more Reroll.
• 1 more Banish.

The game has also fixed a number of issues:

• Heavily reduced chances that enemies will spawn inside walls in the Dairy Plant.
• New entry in the Options menu “Less physics, more FPS”. It’s enabled by default, if you don’t like it or for some reason it glitches badly on your machine, you can disable it from the Options menu from the main screen.
• Guide arrows don’t jitter anymore – please enable the guides from the Pause menu if you have the Map but can’t locate coffins etc.
• Bugfix: some projectiles not moving when there are no enemies to target.
• Bugfix: Clock Lancet disappearing when moving upwards for too long.

The update also introduces a new gameplay option called “Hurry”. This mode makes the timer tick twice as fast, meaning enemy waves will change every 30 seconds in real time. To unlock it, find the new relic in Stage 4.
