Heroes and Pactsworn! After several rounds of testing, it’s finally time! Versus has officially been released! This free new update includes the Versus game mode itself, available to all owners of Vermintide 2, as well as balance changes, a Progression Rework for the entire base game, the introduction of The Handbook, tons of new cosmetics, and lots of bug fixes!

What is Versus? Versus is a free new Game mode for Warhammer: Vermintide 2! It’s an asymmetrical PvP+E experience pitting up to 4 Heroes against our AI enemies and up to 4 Special players, what we call Pactsworn. A match will take place over several rounds, with each team swapping places between playing the Heroes and the Pactsworn each round. To simplify, each round consists of the Hero team playing a regular game akin to Adventure mode, while the Pactsw... Read more

This is technically not a bug, but it's something we're working on adjusting at the moment. Will most likely be fixed very soon :ranald:

  • Fixed a crash when cancelling Host Migration.

Heroes!
The most ill-omened night of the year is finally upon us! The green glow of Morrslieb in full moon heralds it: Geheimnisnacht has arrived!

Playing V1 is not at all necessary to enjoy V2. You might miss part of the story of Vermintide 1, but V2's prologue and the dialogue between the characters fill the gap, so you won't be lost.

In both cases the story is not the big focus of the game, however, the gameplay is. The story helps build the world and the reason for each mission, rather than being a narrative focus.

Hi, my name is Joakim Setterberg and I’m the Design Director on Vermintide 2. The season of Geheimnisnacht, pumpkins, and general spookiness is upon us, and on behalf of the team, I’d like to share some upcoming changes coming to Vermintide 2.

Over the last year, we’ve touched on nearly all areas of Vermintide 2 to improve the core experience of the game with a wide range of features, updates, and improvements. I’m sure Saltzpyre would agree that like an old Reikland wine, we are not aging, we are delicately maturing. One thing we haven’t done though is to address some of the frustrations and issues we’re seeing for players that are new to the game. With the upcoming Versus mode being an opportunity for new players to jump in and experience the End Times, we want to make some improvements to our onboarding and progression to help those new recruits to stick around.

Let’s start out with the issues we’re seeing:
  • If you’re starti...

Bots are meant to copy the power of the host, while still using their own talents and the properties & traits of their equipped gear. Due to a bug, they're ALSO using their own power, though. Bug fix coming Soon(tm)


Heroes!
It is that spooky time of the year, when the Chaos moon Morrslieb is full, the Winds go wild and things go bump in the night. While we have been all too busy working on both Versus and Adventure content, we always have time to celebrate this dreaded Night of Mysteries! Geheimnisnacht is upon us.

Geheimnisnacht event The event will be running from October 31st to November 10th! It will feature nurglings, Double XP, challenges with new rewards, and the return of previous Geheimnisnacht rewards! Did we mention nurglings?

I wait for them to fully come out, then use the skill, right after I lose all the skeletons.
Army of the Dead makes it so when you use your ability, it spawns 12 skeletons. 6 are permanent, 6 are temporary.

If you use it again, the 6 permanent ones die and you summon 12 new ones, but t... Read more

Few things are constant among the Skaven, but their scheming and plotting is one of them. While our Heroes may have foiled Rasknitt, there’s plenty other vermin are eager to hatch their own devious plans. The farsqueaker, a verminous piece of Skryre engineering, allows some of these would-be masterminds to instantly communicate across vast distances with their networks of agents and spies.



Skaven Chronicles: Part 2
I am much pleased with your timely report, Skratch, and heartened by the news of your many successes. The minions I placed in your unworthy paws are clearly moderately capable. Use them well, Skratch. Do not think-think you are my only proxy in the Grey Mountains. Just because I plucked you from your runtish litter as a... Read more

Do you hear me, master?

The cretinous cog-brained tinker-fool who claims to be master of this farsqueaker contraption insists you can hear me even if I cannot hear you. Something to do with power still bleeding from the failed Skittergate and the great-great mass of this mountain above our... Read more

Heroes and Pactsworn,
Hi my name is Joakim Setterberg and I’m the Design Director on Vermintide 2. In this devblog I want to talk about Versus’ upcoming Beta August Test - or BAT - coming August 21st. With the BAT we’re wrapping up most of the larger systems and features of the core game mode. With a few exceptions, our main focus up to release will be to work with surrounding systems and refining the content, to polish the Versus experience and, to quote the team, “fix the jank”.

First, a note on feedback. For every test we do we collect as much of your feedback as possible to find out what we can improve and fix. We sort it, rank it, and talk about what we want to accomplish for the next test. Sometimes there’s a straight-forward way to solve a problem or to implement a suggestion, but other times we’ll go in a slightly different direction, if we believe a problem lies elsewhere. That takes us to our two big features we’re introducing for th... Read more

Hello! Yes, I can confirm that this issue has been fixed. We should not expect ridiculously large patch sizes at all in the future.

In general, we should expect that most hotfixes will be a few MB in size. Big patches can be up to around 4 to 5 GB but will be less than that on average. No more 25+ GB patches, for sure! fingers crossed
