Tomorrow patch 4.7 is going live. The free update contains the new presence to Chaos Wastes -- Be’lakor! Together with Be’lakor there will also be some fixes and tweaks, as well as new Premium Cosmetics available on PC and Xbox. The Premium Cosmetics will be available on PS4 on June 17th.

Below you will find the patch notes for Patch 4.7.

Patch 4.7 Known Issues

• Eldrazor's Revenge' boon is improperly named 'Smednir's Wealth'. The gifts these boons provide are unaffected.
  
• Spamming re-rolls in the Keep can lead to lobby instability or cause backend errors.
  
• Beam Staff incorrectly no longer zooms and no longer applies a DOT with the beam.
  
• The game will crash when selecting a map on the legacy UI.
  
• When using the legacy UI, the 'Campaign' selection is missing from the Lobby Browser filters.
  
• 'Favourite' status on items is being reset after re-launching Vermintide 2.

New Additions
Be’lakor will be a new presence in the Chaos Wastes. Players will come across levels influenced by Be’lakor while playing expeditions.

Two new curses:

• Shadow Skulls: Vicious skulls spawn out of thin air.
  
• Shadows Totems: Totems around the level will keep spawning enemies.

New area:

• Temple of Shadows: Destroy the Shadow Locus to reveal the location of the Temple of Shadows on Holseher’s map.

Inside the temple players will be challenged to fight multiple Shadow Lieutenants. Destroying their loci will result in weakening Be’lakor’s influence, ultimately destroying his statue to sever his connection to the expedition.

Surviving the Temple of Shadows rewards players with veteran boons upon completion.
