V Rising mods let you zoom all the way in and hide the UI

Vampire survival game V Rising is a certified hit, quickly springing onto Steam’s top 10 most-played list and selling over a million copies in its first week of early access. But the game tends to keep you at arms length, with a camera that looks down at your vampire from above and doesn’t let you zoom all the way in to fully enjoy your exquisite castle or the vast open world. It can also be a little hard at times to navigate through the map and see threats lurking on the roads ahead, and the UI, while not overbearing, makes taking great screenshots a bit difficult.

Some cool mods have popped up that change that. ModernCamera (opens in new tab) removes the zoom limit so you can scroll your view way, way in. At floor level, you can even adjust the camera’s angle so you’re looking at your vampire head-on instead of top-down. You probably won’t want to fight zoomed in all the way—aiming spells is tricky and it’s easy to lose track of mobs—but it is quite bracing to run down the roads and through the woods in wolf form with the camera following behind you instead of peering down at you.
