When players look atBloodhunt’s map of Prague, it seems apparent that Sharkbomb devs took time to make the map as realistically appropriate for theVampire: The Masqueradebattle royale as possible. Interestingly, players who familiarize themselves with the map enough won’t just get to know Prague more intimately - but rather gain the upper hand in eachBloodhuntmatch.
Memorize Map Elements First
Before vampires can master movingaround in PragueinBloodhunt, it helps to first understand the many intricacies involving the map in the first place. The sooner players understand how these elements mix with each other, the faster they’re going to be able to navigate Prague knowing exactly what certain symbols mean.
Equippables, Consumables
One of the first things players can notice on the map are symbols denoting consumables. Marked by white symbols, players can easily detect which areas are likely to spawn certain kinds of loot. Here are those relevant symbols:
Special Symbols
Aside from the symbols above are special symbols denoting areas of particular interest that players may or may not be interested in traveling to. While they’re not always places of interest, players should keep these in mind:
Split Into Three
One of the best ways to approach Prague as a map inBloodhuntis to divide its rather odd shape into three major components, with the common point being the center of the map. That way, players can understand the many different things happening in each layer of the map should they arrive there, as these locations often give not just different atmospheres but also locational discrepancies:
Center Is Always Below Ground
The center point of the map is located to the left of the Prince’s Haven and just above the Terrace. This is a relatively open area surrounded by a couple of buildings, as well as main roads that stretch to the left, right, and center. Traversing these areas generally leads to smaller but still open areas. Players need to mind going around here, as these canleave them open for enemiesto attack from above ground.
Central Space Is Easily Traversable
The first major area in Prague may be best located along the building clusters near the center. These areas (Divine Disco, Rooftop Restaurant, Prince’s Haven) are isolated enough around the middle-right and stretch onto their own harbor area. Here are a few areas of interest:

Upper Cluster Remains Isolated
Due to the prevalence of major roads in the upper cluster, this second area is more characteristic of its buildings and skyscrapers separated by long road stretches. There’s the added difficulty of longer falls downward or longer climbs upwards, making it harder to transition from ground fighting to rooftop fighting. There are certain areas of interest here, however, starting from the left:
Lower Cluster
Compared to the more separated upper cluster, the lower cluster of buildings in Prague are much closer when compared to the others. Its mixture of both commercial and residential complexes also makes it a tricky spot for combat, and ideal for those who want a more action-packed experience. From the left to right, its most notable places are:
Main Roads Built For Rotation
Unlike other battle royale maps that often take place in large locations with no discernible path,Bloodhunttakes place in a faithful recreation of Prague, meaning it must be treated as a city. Given that explanation, players need to use their knowledge of larger main roads properly. At its core, all main roads in cities are meant to help explore the playable area much more conveniently, meaning players can alsouse this to their advantage. There are two ways to rotate using the main roads:
Starting from major corners on the map, all main roads lead to theAbandoned Mall. Or, to put it another way, the Abandoned Mall can help players reach almost any part of the map when used appropriately. Depending on the situation, players can head to these areas for particular rotation needs:
Center Going Round
Another way to traverse the map using main roads has to do with starting at the center of the map, close to thePrince’s HavenorTerrace. Depending on the direction, players can start from the center and go around in a radius, approaching the map in different ways:

Get Underground
One of the more obvious facts about Praguethat players don’t often take into accountis how there’s an entire underground layer that exists within the map. Often accessed through the edges of the map via railway stations, the subway access points of the map actually lead to an entire underground network that lets players travel all over Prague unnoticed.
Not only that, but these underground parts also have Weapon Vehicles scattered all around them, giving players access to various weapons that can give them an advantage in combat. Players therefore need to take into account how underground travel can help them traverse the map much faster.
Be Aware of Special Conditions
There are alsoSpecial Conditionsthat affect the way Prague works in every part of the match. While these happen at random, these Special Conditions can have a detrimental effect on the match if players aren’t careful enough. For instance:
Quickly Understand Auras
Thanks to the Sense The Unseen ability, all Kindred are able to usethe Discipline Auspexto see the auras of things around them - allowing them to identify not just weapons and items, but also mortals with Blood Resonances, and even enemies. While “color means item of interest” is a reasonable way to approach these elements in the map, players should also automatically know what these mean to know how to approach them as soon as they see them:
Vehicles Always Give Useful Items
Thanks toVehiclesscattered all over Prague, players almost always have a means of gathering items and weapons away from rooftops. While almost all large vehicles can be opened to acquire items, it can help to learn which Vehicles give what, and where they can be found.Steam User MrGametwas able to compile a list of Vehicle locations around Prague for player reference. However, for a quick refresher, here are the vehicles of use for vampires in the battle royale:
Spot Blood Resonances Quickly
Unlike other games,Bloodhuntfeatures an open world-esque setting, where players need to stealthily feed on mortals lest they get detected and everyone else isalerted of a Masquerade Breach. Unfortunately for vampires, getting stronger doesn’t just mean grabbing a mortal, but also the right mortal, as feeding on their blood gives special benefits calledBlood Resonances. Mortals who possess them have special auras:
