Heroes!

Welcome to patch 1.6. Today we celebrate exactly 1 year since the release of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - and to help lubricate the celebrations we’re rolling out a new Event Level - ‘A Quiet Drink’, and with it a sweet new set of Portrait Frames that are up for grabs for a limited time only!

Thank you SO much for joining us in this adventure over the past 12 months. We hope you enjoy the anniversary celebrations in the form of this special event level and portrait frames. We can’t wait to continue the journey with you all with Winds of Magic coming this summer and everything we have in store there and beyond.

Big love from the Fatshark Tank

Features

  • New Event Level - ‘A Quiet Drink’. Join the heroes on a night out on the town. Surely nothing can go wrong with this plan.
  • Three new Portrait Frames - With these three new Portrait Frames you can help yourself remember a great night out on the town every time you play - but remember, you’ll need to earn them!

Tweaks

  • We’ve added a “Limit UI Scaling” toggle. Enabling this option will limit the scaling of the UI relative to your resolution. This will only affect players who play above 1080p resolution.
  • A warning will now be displayed when host tries to leave a game with players connected to the server.
  • Clients will now get a message that the host left the game when the host disconnects (eariler they only got a message that they lost connection to the host).
  • Wielding a career skill weapon (Bounty Hunter’s double handgun, Waystalker’s trueflight arrows, Pyromancer’s burning skull, or Ranger Veteran’s smoke bomb) will now cause you to drop any level event item (barrels, oil jugs, cannon balls, etc.). This is done to one: prevent an exploit where you’d get regular movement speed when having your weapon “out”, and two: promote characters with movement related skills be more prized for those carrying tasks.
  • Taal’s Horn Keep - Moved the potions and added two bombs to the target dummy area.
  • Bots will now despawn nearer to the time in which a player assumes control over them. Players will now join the game closer to the group when assuming control of a bot.
  • Saltzpyre - Due to some unforeseen consequences from the 1.5 releases, and subsequent quick fixes to the Brace of Pistols there’s been some more thorough tweaks to them. All known and found cases of minigun-like behaviour has been fixed. Added a slight manual reload window when out of ammo, which means you can start a reload slightly faster than otherwise with a well-timed press of the reload key.

  • Righteous Stand - Fixed a location where players could get stuck.

  • Righteous Stand - Fixed some unusual occlusion seen when traversing the wall at the Southern Axe Bit Garrison.
  • Taal’s Horn Keep - Fixed a couple of picture frames which weren’t appropriately secured to the wall.
