Stalk Your Prey as the Banu Haqim in Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room are back with a new Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Clan Highlight, this time focused on the Banu Haqim.

All vampire clans in the World of Darkness have a curse that defines them and for the Banu Haqim it’s a thirst for the blood of their fellow kine. Known as Judges in vampire society, the Banu Haqim are compelled to punish those who have violated their convictions, though these convictions are up to the individual and may stem from the tenets of a cult, a personal code of honor, or really anything else. Historically, many Banu Haqim worked as assassins, so it’s no surprise that they represent the stealth archetype in Bloodlines 2.

Banu Haqim have the following abilities in Bloodlines 2:

Silence of Death: This is their clan passive. It allows for all of their actions to become silent for a time after feeding.

Prowl: The Banu Haqim clan perk. This allows the player to sprint while crouched.

Mute: This allows the Banu Haqim to silence a civilian or enemy. Screams, gunfire, or any other noises made by the target are undetectable to others.

Split Second: This mobility power allows the Banu Haqim player to move so fast as to make it seem like time has stopped around them.

Bladed Hand: This ability can behead mortal foes.

Unseen Aura:  Temporary invisibility on command. Actions can still be heard by others unless combined with the Silence of Death buff after feeding.
