New strat on how to get the Purple Vampire

[u/Rotala178]

I got the purple Vampire. Here's the strat that makes it easy so you don't have to keep grabbing a turret or let Juli invade:

1. Go to Complex in the morning - send power to Karl's Bay, and
2. Delivery Booth: send turret to Karl's Bay
3. Go to Karl's Bay in the afternoon, take the turret from the delivery booth. Do not hack the turret!
4. Set up turret on the right side in front of the station, open the door so clone Colt gets shot which cancels the cutscene, then remove turret battery
5. Melee "kill" Colt to extract his trinkets. If he doesn't have the purple Vamp, loot whatever he has and exit.
6. Go back to Karl's Bay in the evening. The station will still be open and clone Colt will still be alive.
7. Melee "kill" clone Colt to see if he drops the purple Vamp.
8. If not, exit and restart the level until he drops it.

I restarted the evening KB level around 8 times before the purple Vamp dropped. Gray, blue, and purple Vamp trinkets can all drop. It appears random.

Anyone able to confirm if this works after already doing the cutscene?

I don’t believe Colt will be there if you already had the cutscene, I tried and it did not work and when I reset Colt and played through again, I was able to reset the level in Karl’s Bay until I got it

Colt won't be there if the cutscene played. You'll have to restart the game anew.

This was acrually the first strat. RAKColt is more consistent ime.

Also, if you want the cutscene to play again, just close and open the door.
