The trailer’s vampires were shown carrying blades on their backs, while they could use a variety of guns including dual SMGs, assault rifles and long-range types against players. Players could use their abilities to climb walls at fast speeds to evade enemies, jump across rooftops for higher vantage points and even make a landing on the streets for up-close-and-personal encounters. While the Sabbat does not itself have a Masquerade, it survives primarily through the Masquerade enforced by the Camarilla, and a similar "patch squad" managed by the Grimaldi ghoul family.In its teaser trailer, vampires were shown facing off against each other with others teaming up in squads. The Ventrue will apply whatever resources are necessary – cash, judicious use of Dominate, machine guns – to make the problem go away. However, when something severe happens, the Camarilla usually calls on the Ventrue, who have made Masquerade-patching something of a science.
Certain things (such as ghouls) are considered potential breaches all the time – although in this case, it's assumed that the domitor will take necessary steps.Ĭamarilla vampires are taught to blend in and to cultivate their Humanity in order to make imitating living people easier. Generally, a breach consists of any evidence of vampiric powers: feeding on blood, obvious use of Disciplines, regeneration in plain sight and the like. When a breach occurs, the methods of repairing may vary, but somebody is going to be punished – and while it would be nice for that somebody to be whoever caused the breach in the first place, Princes are known to prefer an early morning dusting over a long thorough search. The basics of the Masquerade are enforced through self-policing and harsh penalties. The Tradition was openly flouted by several clans (notably the Tzimisce), while the vampires in more civilized society would often adhere to it more tightly. The Masquerade is technically outlined in the Traditions, however until the 15th century this was commonly interpreted as not informing mortals of the niceties of vampiric society, how common vampires were or generally making too big a noise.
The Masquerade is the cornerstone survival strategy for Kindred, without it, the kine would rise up and exterminate all the undead.
The Masquerade is an organized campaign enforced by the Camarilla to convince people that vampires do not exist.
