Bloodhunt bug where 'storm damage is dealt even when not in storm' comes to light

If you like playing Battle Royale games, you must have heard about Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt. Developed and published by Sharkmob, the title was released on April 27 this year.

Set in the city of Prague in the World of Darkness, players have to fight against humans and an entity that is trying to kill Vampires.

However, technical issues such as weapon reloading multiple times and players unable to invite friends have ruined the gameplay experience for those affected.

Now, many Bloodhunt players are saying they are getting storm damage even though they are not in the storm (1,2,3,4,5).

Some thought it was a problem with their internet connection but soon realized that the issue was chipping on their health in multiple rounds. Players have tried verifying their game files on Steam, reinstalling the game, and restarting their system but nothing helped.

Bug where you die to the storm while not in it? Will post clip if needed, but I seem to be dying to the storm when i’m pretty far away from it but not inside the safe zone yet. Is that supposed to happen? anyone else have this problem?(Source)

How tf can this game be fun? no reload bug, no ammo bug, cant pick up weapon BUG, storm bug, no reg bug, long rank q times, ugly skins to buy, melee op, enforcer op, shtoguns are snipers, bloom is stupid. I still drop 15+ kill games but its borrring lol, i dont see it. Its boring and buggy its like a beta, is this a beta? I had fun at first but the bugs and no reward system makes it boring

With some reports dating back nearly a month, it looks like the bug has been affecting players for quite some time now. Many say they are frustrated and have died multiple times because of the issue.

Unfortunately, Bloodhunt developers Sharkmob are yet to officially comment on the matter where players are getting storm damage even when not in it. We hope they find out why this is happening and release a fix as soon as possible.

As always, we will be keeping an eye out on further developments on the issue and update this space as and when we come across more information, so stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
