  • Passive is list of tasks from the lady (stuff like "Find Tomes", "Slay Elites", etc. Completing gives blessing of lady which provides buff for the one match, which affects the whole party and (Probably) won't restart after death).

  • Board and Sword and Bretonnian longsword are new weapons.

  • Grail Knight will not be able to use spear, halberd, or imperial sword and shield.

  • Ult is called Blessed Sword. It's a "targeted kill attack" that is a very powerful overhead slash that cleaves.

  • 3.99 USD for basic career. 9.99 USD for full package with 2 helmets, different color skins, all weapons illusions and challenges.

  • Grail Knight level is based on Kruber's level and is not separate.

  • New weather and lighting effects are: Day, Night, Dusk, Raining, Snow, Fog.

  • Grail Knight is balanced normally (not generally weaker or stronger).

  • No big weapon balancing planned soon.

  • Balancing overhaul coming sometime in summer (which presumably does not include a large weapon balancing change because of previous point).

  • Plan is for one new career per character.

  • Other Markus careers can use Bretonnian sword alone, but not Bretonnian sword and board.

  • Vermintide 2 will be supported for a long time yet.

  • No 6th character is planned.

  • Deed rework is planned.

  • Versus is still in work.

  • More new maps are planned.

  • No Vulkan support planned.

  • "Lots of other things" are planned.

Still not clear if bretonnian krubs is like slayer in having only melee weapons or not. We know the Bretonnian navy uses a lot of gunpowder but its apparently below most knights. Still we could also see Kruber making concessions to the now non-negligible Imperial blood he has to still use guns and a bow (would be nice to have the bow no longer be exclusive to hunstman, tbqh)

No ranged weaponary planned for GK. Much like he turns his back to a pole or halberd, he would shun ranged also.

Thanks for clearing that up Hedge. Are there plans for more weapons for Grail Knight in the future? Maybe a thrown weapon?

It's not impossible! Nothing in the pipeline though. The kind of thing we'll look in to once folks get some gameplay and talk about what might be cool. :)

Comparison is WoM which was 20 USD and had a lot of content (albeit not the best quality of content on release). 5 new weapons plus illusions, around a couple dozen distinct maps with different modifiers, a new crafting system, leaderboards (which aren't necessarily desired), and all the challenges and weapon skins.

Back to Ubersreik was also 10 USD, and offered 3 full maps and a challenge map, 5 new weapons with 2 unlockable skins each, and a bunch of challenges.

For 10 USD we'd only be getting a career and one weapon (which they themselves priced at 4 USD), meaning 6 USD for a couple skins (probably just recolours), a couple helmets, and a couple weapon illusions, along with a few in game achievements.

I'm not sure it matches up in terms of value. I'd spend a couple extra dollars for the extra skins and such, to support them, but I feel 10 is a bit excessive compared to other DLCs.

$3.99 gets you all the gameplay. It's the one you'll want to pick up if you're here for the moment to moment combat. The upgrade/bundle is very much an optional purchase for those who just really wanna have a more ostentatious hat, or more regal colourway, some themed paintings or alternate illusions.
