An example of these is the Threaded Cane, which can switch between a cane, as the name implies, and a whip, at the player's control. Players can even transform weapons mid-attack, giving each weapon a truly diverse and unique set of attacks. Some weapons in Bloodborne are called 'trick weapons,' and are capable of switching between two forms at the press of a button. Guns use quicksilver bullets for ammunition, which can be either purchased, found in the world, or in an emergency situation traded for a portion of the player's health in order to have five 'blood bullets.' The Threaded Cane weapon An example is being hit while having already fired a shot and staggered an enemy, the player can enter a visceral attack animation and regain all health lost. reward system in the combat is now something to always keep in mind. Instead, the damage taken can be 'recovered' by pressing the attack and hitting enemies while in this temporary state. When players take damage their life bar does not diminish instantly. Timing the gunshot right before an attack connects forces the enemy into a staggered state, left vulnerable to a 'visceral attack,' a high damage strike that can be performed even on some Bosses.Ĭoupled with the visceral attack is the new health regain mechanic. It is the main tool of defense, capable of interrupting enemies and countering their attacks. Off-hand equipment has been replaced with firearms, sporting variants such as pistols, shotguns, and rifles. 'Hunters do not normally employ shields, ineffectual against the strength of the beasts as they tend to be.' In fact, there is only one shield in Bloodborne and the item description reads as follows: ' Shields are nice, but not if they engender passivity.' Subsequently, players can no longer rely on a thick piece of metal to protect them from everything, and must adopt a quicker and more aggressive style of play to survive in Yharnam. The gameplay strategy which rose to prominence in previous games relied heavily on using a shield and staying behind it, a tactic actively discouraged in Bloodborne.
