Heroes,
Welcome to another development update.
Community Challenge News
You’re on to the 8th day of the Community Challenge, around 57% through the allotted time, and you’re around 56% through the required kills. When we set out we wanted this to be somewhere between a ‘safe’ and ‘nail-biting’ challenge. Right now, however, we’re out of nails and we’re chewing on fingers.
We’re hoping this bonus length double XP weekend and the promise of a bonus triple XP day for completing the challenge is enough to tip the scales! Now get slaying! (but first, check out the rest of this Developer Update of course!)
Cosmetic in Concept
This week we want to show you a work in progress of a premium cosmetic item we’re working on. One of many, this hat is looking perfect for Huntsman Kruber. This concept is as mentioned a work in progress and can change during development, as well as sometimes work in progress items can be pulled from production for various reasons. But we wanted to share this with you!

We took inspiration for this unique item from an art book called ‘Blood on the Reik’. Tell us what you think? Would you want this in your Kruber wardrobe? Do you have the book and see any other inspirations you’d like us to take? Hit us up in the comments below!
Community Art
Last week we featured some less traditional fan art here in the update, and this week we have seen a huge influx of more traditional creations by some of the hugely talented artists in the community and we’d like to take this opportunity to showcase some of those!

Thanks all for sharing your art with us! You’re all incredibly talented, and it really warms us to see such talent being used to showcase a project we really love being involved in.
REDDIT CONTEST
Last but by no means least, the crew over on the Vermintide sub are hosting a VerminLore Crafting contest!
Like to write? Like theorycrafting? Then this contest is for you!
In this Reddit contest, your goal will be to write an as of yet untold bit of flavor for the Vermintide universe.
Have theories on Saltzpyre’s life while he was still apprenticing as a blacksmith? Want to theorize on Olyesa’s card games? Or maybe you fancy you know exactly who Lohner is and what he’s hiding. The Reddit mods want to know! They will be issuing prizes, so why not give your penmanship a go and be in with a chance of winning some sweet prizes!
I believe they have to be posted on reddit to count (as it’s the platform for the contest and is being arranged by the team there). People are free to use throwaway accounts, and I don’t think you need an email to make a reddit account.
