The Forsaken Temple is out now! Patch 6.1.0

 

The first map of three from the new campaign ‘Verminous Dreams’ is out now, for free!

Heroes!

Today we bring you a brand new mission: The Forsaken Temple! This FREE mission is the first of three maps in the brand new ‘Verminous Dreams’ campaign.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3283440/Warhammer_Vermintide_2__Verminous_Dreams/

Tipped off by an otherworldly visit, Lohner’s investigations have led to the discovery of Skaven around the ruins of an ancient elven temple, possibly one that was rumored to not even exist. What could the Pactsworn be looking for in these mythical ruins?

Better stop them regardless, Heroes! Can’t be anything good.

Gifts of the Wolf Father

And of course, this December will also mark the return of the Gifts of the Wolf Father! He’s got an exciting bag of goodies to share with you all this year!

How it works: Starting today and until January 3rd, every day you jump on Vermintide 2, you can access Lohner’s Emporium to claim that day’s Gift*. There’ll be cosmetics, illusions, coins, frames, and all sorts of goodies!

There might even be a very, very special hat that makes its long-awaited, fishy return!

Today’s gift, you might ask?

*: You may also claim the gifts from two days prior, as a small buffer to make things a bit more flexible.

Upcoming playable monster: Rat Ogre - December 17

We also wanted to give you guys a taste of what’s coming next for Versus! 

Coming December 17th: the Pactsworn are going to get another fun toy to torment the Hero team: The Rat Ogre will be a playable monster before the end of the year!

New Premium Cosmetics: The Mythic Masquerade

Can’t just let you guys go on a brand new Adventure without some brand new swagger to show off, ey?

This bundle of Premium Cosmetics, purchasable directly from Lohner’s Emporium, has a fantastic set of new cosmetics inspired by iconic characters from Warhammer Fantasy!

Gotrek Gurnisson

Our dear Bardin gets to look even more fierce than usual with this intimidating outfit fashioned after the most deadly of all slayers: Gotrek Gurnisson. Available only to Bardin’s Slayer career.

Felix Jaeger

Of course, we can’t have Gotrek without Felix! Kruber gets to accompany his best buddy in with this dashing outfit inspired by Gotrek’s faithful companion, Felix Jaeger! Available only to Markus’ Mercenary career.

Count Boris Todbringer

Proving that he ALSO can sport a magnificent beard, the imposing Count Boris Todbringer-inspired hero skin is equipable by Saltzpyre’s Bounty Hunter career.

Naieth the Prophetess

Delving into mysticism, Kerillian has access to an outfit inspired by Naieth the Prophetess, equipable on all of Kerillian’s careers.

Isabella Von Carstein

With a sudden propensity for walking around with a cup of wine (at least, we think it’s wine!), Sienna gets a new regal look with this armour inspired by Isabella Von Carstein. This hero skin is equipable on her Pyromancer and Necromancer careers.

*Edit December 10th: As a final note: unlike most cosmetic sets, the Mythical Masquerade cosmetics are all one-piece cosmetics, instead of being separated into hero skin and hat.*

Developer stream: December 9th, 17:00 CET!

Don’t forget to tune into our twitch stream today, at 17:00 CET!  Developers Anton, Theodor and Tom are going to go over the new DLC, play the new map, and talk a little bit about what’s next for Vermintide, including both Versus and PvE.

Versus Spotlight: Week 4 extension

Perhaps we overshot a bit when adjusting the kill counter target! We were so impressed with your performance in the first weeks that we got a bit overambitious for the new one.

In the spirit of giving during this Gifts of the Wolf father, we’re extending the period to reach the kill counter from Sunday to Wednesday. Make sure to reach the target of 250.000 Heroes killed in Versus before the next spotlight starts, or you really might miss out on the rewards!

Without further ado…

    • Increasing the minimum means that at a certain level, all items are guaranteed to be max power.

    • Increasing the maximum and then reducing it to the cap means that you are more likely to roll a maximum power item as you increase levels, even before your minimum power gets high enough to be equal to the cap.

  • Purchasing a DLC while in the keep now requires a game restart.

Fixes

  • Fixed an UI issue where Shillings and Helmgart Sellsword Marks would overlap with the store interface when looking for a match.

  • Fixed an issue causing Saltzpyre's animation to not take a cool step forward when shooting the rapier's pistol. Now he does his fancy move again!

  • Fixed a bug where Bardin could sometimes respond with a Kerillian voice line when Victor gets knocked down too many times
