May 2, 2019 – Paradox Interactive has today revealed the first full-blood Vampire clan in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2: Brujah! The Brujah are rebels and firestarters who favor brute strength and celebrate the raw power of their bloodline.

Check out this video to learn more about the Brujah, their background, and get a sneak peek at one of their abilities:

Known as “The Rabble” to other Vampires, the Brujah have never been a large part of Seattle’s Kindred community. Many of the city’s Brujah are leftovers from failed Anarch movements and claim to be unaffiliated with Seattle’s political factions. Brujah clan members gather at a “Bash”, best described as a fight club for the undead, where they assert their physical superiority over other clans.

You can head over to the Paradox Interactive Twitch starting right now (12 p.m. Eastern) where the Bloodlines 2 team is giving a breakdown of the Brujah clan: https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive.

The Brujahs’ powers are as overwhelming as their convictions. Players who join the Rabble can unlock two ancient disciplines that enhance their physical abilities: Potence and Celerity. Potence is the Brujah’s signature discipline and imbues their undead bodies with the pinnacle of raw Kindred strength – nobody underestimates the strength of a Brujah twice. While Potence enhances strength, Celerity enhances a Brujah’s speed, allowing them to strike faster, dodge quicker, and escape more nimbly than any mortal creature.

Learn more details about the Brujah’s disciplines and their powers below:

Potence

  • Fist of Caine – Deliver a devastating punch that turns walls into rubble and throws enemies through the air. Upgrades to Fist of Cain enhance the devastating effects even further.
  • Earthshock – Smash the ground with titanic force, creating a shockwave around the player that damages and knocks down anyone who dares to stray too close. Upgrading Earthshock causes the Brujah’s onslaught to send out fissures, damaging anyone caught in the cataclysm.

Celerity

  • Unseen Storm – Dash in any direction with such speed that you momentarily disappear from view, allowing you to land attacks, dodge around enemies, or get away before the dust has settled. Upgrades further enhance the effects of Unseen Storm.
  • Accelerate – Move so fast that everything else in the world appears to slow down to a standstill. Assailants seem frozen in their attacks, cars crawl forward, bullets zip by lazily, and the vampire can perform stunts that, with an 80’s synth track in the background, would make for an awesome movie scene. Upgrades further enhance the effects of Accelerate.

Of note, the use of Potence or Celerity in front of any mortal is a Masquerade Violation.

Players who join the Brujah clan can use these disciplines in addition to the individual powers from their Thinblood past.
