Vampire Survivors is getting another DLC pack next week, this time bringing a crossover with Contra, Konami's classic shoot🧸er series. It wouldn't be a Contra mashup without the iconic Spread Shot, and developer Poncle has just revealed a bit about how the weapon will wo🐭rk in the indie smash.
As in proper Contra, Vampire Survivors' take on the Spread Shot "fires in a wide spread in the faced direction," as Poncle explains in a . Paired with the Empty Tome, it'll 🐻eventually evolve into something called the Prototype C. There's no clear indication of what that is, but you can be sure it'll be exactly the kind of monster-melting power-up that makes the flurry of fireworks at the end of a round of Vampire Survivors so satisfying.

If you've ever played Contra - either the 1987 arcade original or the beloved 1988 NES version - you already know that the Spread Shot is the best weapon in video game history. In an infamously challen✅ging run-and-gun platformer, it turns out that it's pretty helpful to have a gun that can fire a spread of bullets to cover just about the entire screen, and there's no greater gaming heartbreak than losing out on the weapon to either a needless death or a greedy co-op partner.
The Spread Shot joins the Vampire Survivors arsenal on May 9 as part of the Operation Guns DLC, which includes a total of 22 new weꦇapons alongside a selection of new characters and stages to explore. Vampire Survivors remains one of the most entertaining things $5 can buy, and its uber-cheap DLC hasn't disappointed yet.
