In an exciting development for fans of both classic and indie gaming, Vampire Survivors is gearing up for a new DLC pack featuring a crossover with Konami’s legendary Contra series. The highlight of this collaboration is the inclusion of Contra’s iconic Spread Shot, which promises to add a new level of firepower to the indie smash hit.
Developer Poncle has revealed details about how the Spread Shot will function within Vampire Survivors, explaining that it will fire in a wide spread in the faced direction, reminiscent of its usage in the Contra games. Paired with the Empty Tome, players can expect the Spread Shot to evolve into something called the Prototype C, though specifics about this upgrade remain mysterious.
For fans of Contra, especially those familiar with its notoriously challenging gameplay, the Spread Shot holds a special place as one of the best weapons in video game history. Its ability to cover a wide area with bullets makes it invaluable in intense shoot-’em-up scenarios.
The Spread Shot joins Vampire Survivors’ arsenal as part of the Operation Guns DLC, which introduces a total of 22 new weapons alongside additional characters and stages to explore. With the game already offering significant entertainment value at its affordable price point, the upcoming DLC is expected to further enhance the experience for players.
As the release date for the DLC approaches, anticipation builds among fans eager to wield the power of the Spread Shot in the world of Vampire Survivors.
