One environmental obstacle you’ll eventually encounter during your vampire hunting in Redfall is Red Mist. If you step into its reddish cloud, this hazy death mist will drain away your HP. Whether you are exploring or completing a mission objective, this mist will obstruct your progress. The cause of the lethal vapor is a vampiric monster vulnerable to a specific weapon. Fortunately, killing the creature to get rid of Redfall Red Mist is simple. However, it requires a special weapon and watchful eyes.
How to Clear Redfall Red Mist
To clear Red Mist from an area in Redfall, you need a UV Blaster or a Portable UV Beam. As its name implies, it fires a concentrated ray at its target, dealing serious damage. With this firearm, look closely into the mist for a hunched, gargoyle-shaped creature. The vampire being is immobile, so it’s hard to lose sight of it once you’ve spotted the entity.

Aim your Portable UV Beam at the statue-esque gargoyle and blast away with the weapon’s UV light ray. You will know that you’re hitting your target when a startling scream rings out from the vampire. Nevertheless, show no mercy for the creature’s painful cries. After all, it would comfortably kill you with its death mist without second thoughts. Once the shrieking ends, the Red Mist in Redfall should clear up within a few milliseconds. After the haze clears, you’ll notice the monster has turned to stone.
Using another weapon, shoot and destroy the sentient source of the Red Mist before it regains its power. Another trick in Redfall is approaching the monster and smashing its stone body into pieces with a melee attack. The vampire will let out a final wail before dying. You’ll then be able to pass through the once-infected area without issue.
An alternative way to turn the Red Mist monster into stone is by activating a UV light within the area. However, only a few locations in Redfall have a nearby UV light ready for mist clearing. Therefore, we recommend relying on your Portable UV Beam in Redfall, as it will be the most dependable means of clearing any Red Mist. Remember not to consume any other firearm ammunition on the vampire until it becomes stone. YouTuber I Lap The Flash has recorded footage of how the process works:
Redfall is available on PC, Xbox Series X, and Series S.
