Vampire Survivors patch 0.5.2 adds a guitarist bat-woman

May 8, 2022: Vampire Survivors patch 0.5.2 is live, along with new character Concetta Caciotta.


The Vampire Survivors 0.5.2 patch notes are here, unassumedly promising new Arcana power-ups, items, weapons, and more - but the roguelike game now features a new playable secret character in the form of a guitar-shredding bat-woman called Concetta Caciotta, as well as some great new ways to get gold.


Vampire Survivors update 0.5.2 hit earlier today, with a number of welcome additions. These include three between weapons and evolutions, one new item, another rank for the Banish stat, and a new relic or "minor gameplay option". There's also a bug fix for the Celestial Dusting fire rate being affected by the vampire game's fps, and copyrighted music has been "temporarily" removed, so the game's stream-safe now - yes, the game had copyrighted music, apparently.


There is also a suspicious mention in the patch notes of "a coffin in Gallo Tower". The notes usually keep neutral and hide such fun additions as swarms of killer cats and a dog that farts flowers. However, developer Poncle previously showed a flying bat-person who fights while shredding their guitar, who is now revealed to be called Concetta Caciotta. Find that coffin and you can unlock them.

The best Vampire Survivors build

There's a lot that goes into making the best Vampire Survivors build. In every run in the roguelike game, you defeat hordes of enemies, amassing new weapons and items to help you survive until the end. You can upgrade your items or take new ones at regular intervals, which helps you bolster your build each time you level up. However, in the heat of the moment, it can be hard to know which items give you the best buffs and which combos you should stack together.


When making the best Vampire Survivors build, you need to make two key decisions: which of the best Vampire Survivor characters to play as and which powerful Vampire Survivors weapon evolutions you want to aim for as you're collecting items.


In this guide, we'll focus on weapons and items you should grab to help you reach the time limit and win the run. You have a fair amount of flexibility in finding what you need to make each build, but you only get one free choice of Arcana, so we'll list which one to choose at the start of your run. You do get two more opportunities to acquire additional Arcana, but this is dictated by the ones you didn't pick, so you need to get that first call spot on.

Vampire Survivors cheats and cheat engine guide

Are you hunting for Vampire Survivors cheats? If you want to unlock all Vampire Survivors characters, you must enter at least one of the two cheat codes in the roguelike game's main menu. It's as easy as pushing buttons in a specific order, and you know the cheat code is active when you hear a jingle.


Of course, these are just the built-in Vampire Survivors cheats. In addition, you can install the Vampire Survivors cheat engine if you want to break the game completely and easily unlock Red Death. Using the cheat engine, you can make yourself an unstoppable monster slayer able to clear every enemy on screen, get treasure chests, and speed up time at the touch of a button.


This isn't the only mod available for Vampire Survivors, as you can also find others in the same Nexus Mods page that give you access to custom characters. So, if you want to play as Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the X-Men, or characters from Dragon Ball Z, the option is there. Here's what you need to set up the Vampire Survivors cheat engine, all of the available cheats, and how to remove the mod.
