Full firearms skill, however, holds it perfectly still, thanks in part to the fact that vampires (including the player character) don't need to breathe. If the player has a low firearms skill, aiming through the scope is quite difficult, as the view sways quite a bit. The Steyr AUG is the first scoped weapon available to the player, available after the player completes the Fu Syndicate quest from Mercurio's Armoury or Tseng's Herbal Remedies. The player likes to mess with the adjustment knobs on the scope every few seconds. However, just like the Steyr AUG, a low firearms skill will cause lots of crosshair sway. When zoomed in, the weapon inflicts a massive amount of damage, enough to kill ordinary humans in one hit or most vampires in a few hits. It is also available from other arms merchants later on, and is also the personal weapon of human Inquisitor Grunfeld Bach.Īlthough the weapon has a scope function, the rifle itself has no scope, just iron sights (fan patches later corrected this graphical oversight). This weapon (called the "Jaime Sue", the name of one of Troika's staff members) is given to the player by Romero the Ghoul in the Hollywood cemetery if the player agrees to watch the place and keep things from getting out for five minutes, while Romero buys a six-pack of beer (easier said than done, given that zombies start swarming towards the Cemetery's gates to break them down the instant Romero leaves). The Remington Model 700 is the second scoped weapon available to the player. According to the weapon's script, a world model for female vampires was never made, so the Glock is used as a placeholder. On a side note, if the vampire using it is female, the world model turns into that of the Glock. 50 caliber model, its magazine in the original game holds 12 shots(!) as opposed to the real-life version, which holds only 7 rounds. The leader of the vampire Anarch faction, Nines Rodriguez, carries one as his personal sidearm. It is available for purchase to the player character after completing the Fu Syndicate quest, from Mercurio's armoury or Tseng's Herbal Remedies, a black market weapons depot masquerading as a herbal medicine store. 50 Caliber," is the strongest pistol in the game. The Desert Eagle, appearing under the moniker of "McLusky. As with the Colt Anaconda's reloading animations, the chambers are still full, there are no sockets for the bullets in the speedloader, the extraction rod is never operated, and the player character still swings it shut with the flick of a wrist. Bizarrely, this weapon is first purchasable from a college-aged convenience store clerk in Hollywood who sells it (among other firearms and melee weapons) in a strange "special deal," because "new amps and lap dances don't buy themselves, you know." While a double-action revolver in real life, the player character is forced to use it in a single-action manner, manually pulling back the hammer with the firing hand's thumb for more accuracy, or "fanning" the hammer with the other hand for a faster rate of fire but less accurate shots. 44 Magnum ammunition, has a 6 round cylinder capacity, and does respectable damage against both human and inhuman opponents. The following firearms can be seen in the video game Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines:Īn enormous step up from the Colt Police Positive, the Colt Anaconda is chambered for. Of particular note is the fact that vampires (including the player character) and some other supernatural beings take only half damage from firearms, and this damage can be reduced further depending on the stats or powers the character in question is using, making the use of firearms against such opponents a risky or suicidal proposition if the player character does not possess enough firearms skill. They also possess differing amounts of recoil and crosshair sway dependent on the character's firearms skill. Unlike many other FPSes of its time, firearms in this game have damage values largely dependent on the player character's firearms skill. The game takes several characters, plot lines, and mechanics from White Wolf's old World of Darkness tabletop game, in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe. This 2004 title is an FPS/RPG hybrid in the style of Deus Ex, and throws the player into a story of intrigue, dark plots, and apocalyptic prophecies as a newly-embraced vampire treading the perilous path of his/her new unlife in a darker version of Los Angeles.
