All Diablo 4 Vampire Powers for Season 2
Blizzard EntertainmentVampire powers are a new addition to Diablo 4 Season 2, letting you unleash some of the powers of those you hunt. Here’s all the Vampire Powers in Diablo 4 Season 2.
Season 2 of Diablo 4 is already more engaging than Season 1 thanks to the addition of the new vampire questline, and with it, the exciting Vampire Powers. These powers are special skills that allow you to play the vampire to catch the vampire. The good news is that Vampire Powers in Season 2 of Diablo 4 aren’t restricted to the new Vampire quests, they can be used for the duration of the season in all aspects of the game.
Therefore, you can also use them during the campaign, side missions, endgame content, and more. However, if you’ve already completed the campaign with another character during Season 1 or before, you can jump straight into the vampire fun the moment you start Season 2. This is because Vampire Powers can be unlocked quite early on in the game, at least during Season 2. Here’s what you need to know.
How to unlock Vampire Powers in Season 2
To start using Vampire Powers in Season 2, you’ll first need to gather some Potent Blood which can be farmed by completing quests, Blood Harvests, and through opening chests. Once you’ve gathered 25 Potent Blood items, the game will direct you to the Vampiric Power menu and allow you to unlock or upgrade one of three. From here you can upgrade that power or unlock the other two.
There are another seven Vampire Powers to be unlocked later in the game, two by either progressing through the Hunter’s Acclaim Tier and another five by completing the Vampire-themed missions that have been added to Season 2.
You then equip Vampire Powers by making use of Pacts, to do this, you’ll need to add the Vampire Power you want to equip into the Sanguine Circle and then use your accumulated Pacts to activate that power. Pacts are a new attribute that is found on gear in Diablo 4 Season 2. Some items will have a certain amount of Pacts, and by combining these in one build you’ll soon have enough to activate a certain Vampire Power.
To shake things up, there are also three different types of Pacts: Ferocity, Eternity, and Divinity. Each one will correspond to different Vampire Powers. You can also find more Pacts in Seeker’s Caches during Blood Harvests, and add them to your existing gear.
This allows for more build flexibility and lets you switch out gear and upgrade the items you want to keep. This way, you’re not just equipping gear to make use of its Pacts. You can also craft your own Pacts at the Alchemist, each costing 250 Potent Blood. You can also remove Pacts from items using Cleansing Acids, this will allow you to tailor your gear and switch the type of amount of Pacts you need on each.
