V Rising Update Patch Notes – October 24, 2022

General

New Game Presets

Two new Game Presets have been added:

Mad Hunt – PvP
Mad Hunt – PvE

These presets enable three new server settings:

Shuffle V Blood Locations

Shuffles the location of all V Blood units and alters their faction to reflect the faction of the V Blood they replace. V Blood units are shuffled using three pre-defined groups based on difficulty level.

When this setting is active, all V Blood units have their portrait and lore hidden in the V Blood Menu until they are defeated.

Note that the technology unlocked to progress is still unlocked in the same order and level, but a new V Blood unit will take its place and level.

Shuffle V Blood Abilities

Shuffles all V Blood ability rewards randomly across the board. Some units will end up with one ability reward, others with two, and some with zero.

Shuffle V Blood Tech

Shuffles the technology rewards of all V Bloods. Technology is shuffled using many pre-defined groups to ensure that players may progress with essential technology regardless of how rewards are shuffled.

Note

: When Shuffle Tech & Shuffle Abilities are activated, some V Bloods may end up with no rewards.

Note

: Enabling any Shuffle settings may only be done when starting a new server. These settings cannot be modified on a running server, nor can these settings be deactivated.
