Are you itching to sink your stake into some vampiric flesh in Redfall but feeling lost on how to equip it? With a diverse range of survivor characters boasting unique abilities, playstyles, and personalities, navigating the ins and outs of stake warfare can be daunting. Don’t get caught off guard when a bloodsucker comes a-knockin’. Let’s explore the intricacies of equipping stakes in Redfall, so you can get back to perfecting your undead-slaying skills and showing those bloodsucking fiends who is boss.
Equipping a Stake in Redfall Explained
Save yourself from spending precious minutes scouring your inventory for a melee-ready stake — it’s futile. In Redfall, stakes are stealthily stowed away as an attachment to applicable firearms, like a lethal bayonet. That “Don’t Cut Yourself” stake that was gifted to you by Anna? It’s just a fancy wooden veneer. So, holster your stakeless weapon and prepare to wreak havoc on those vampiric foes once you equip your stake in Redfall. You’ll slay bloodsuckers like a seasoned pro with this intel in your arsenal.
How to Change a Stake Skin
First, open your Loadout. Because you can’t be a stylish vampire hunter without a well-organized inventory. Next up, choose either a Shotgun or an Assault Rifle — sorry, Crossbow users, you’ll have to stick to plain old wooden stakes for now. Once you’ve selected your firearm, hit that R on PC or X on Xbox to bring up the Stake box at the bottom of the screen. If your weapon is lucky enough to have an equipped stake in Redfall, click on it to reveal your stake skins in a handy dandy menu on the left. Simply choose your preferred stake skin. If your weapon can’t equip a stake, you’ll see a menacing red lock glaring back at you.

How to Use Stakes
In Redfall, stakes aren’t just a decorative accessory. Sure, you could use your abilities to take down these bloodsuckers. But let’s face it; stakes are the most reliable way to send those undead monsters packing. We recommend using your best firearms to whittle down those pesky vampires’ health before going in for the kill with your equipped stake in Redfall. Coordinate with your team to ensure you’re covered while going in for that satisfying stake plunge. And while the kill animation makes you impervious to harm, don’t let your guard down just yet — those vampiric cohorts won’t take kindly to losing one of their own.
