Congratulations, Heroes!

With 5 hours and 30 minutes remaining, you hit the target of 500,000,000! That’s half a billion (and there would be countless more if we included all the failed missions)! There were some worried faces at various points throughout this challenge — concerned that they thought this wouldn’t be toppled, but you prove time and time again that you’re capable of any challenge we throw at you (and then some)!

The portrait frame will be distributed in the next patch.

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... Read more

Don't forget we're also challenging you to slay 500,000,000 Skaven, Norscans or Beastmen[www.vermintide.com] (or any combination of flesh you meet, aside from your team mates...) before the end of play on April 30th and earn you and your hero friends a lovely new portrait frame exclusive to this event.

As a bonus, we can also announce that should you beat the Community Challenge we'll also activate 24 hours TRIPLE XP on May 1st!

The Community Challenge is still ongoing and you can still join - it will be running until April 30th. With this challenge we wish to invite you as a community to come together and help the Reikland.

So far your combined efforts have accumulated a staggering total 155,947,217 enemies defeated! It's horribly impressive.

We just set the Tzeentchian Twins Weekly Event live, which for those who can handle it is a great way to bloat the stats! In this event enemies you dispatch will materialise in to two lesser enemies, and so on, until you're left with chaff to kill. You can find this on the mission screeen in the Keep (press M).

Play Apart Together. Fill the bar by defeating Skaven, Rotblood, and Beastmen in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and be rewarded with a new portrait frame.

Heroes!
Welcome to a relatively short Developer Update. We’ve been busy putting the Community Event live this week, where you've been tasked to slay 500,000,000 pactsworn over roughly 14 days. It’s a fairly big ask and so far you’re a little bit behind the curve! Step it up and earn a sweet portrait frame for everyone!



We put a great deal of science into coming up with the perfect number. We had to factor in telemetry from the past, as well as predictions based on the current situation and the days in which the event would be running. Take into account a great deal of factors, and then add a certain % on top to come up with the perfect goal of 500,000,000 in 14 days. We believe you can do it!

Heroes, During the past weeks the Sharks have been working from home, and in an earlier Developer Update[www.vermintide.com] we went into lengths about what these changes meant for the Sharks and the entire office. Staying at home can be a challenge and the Sharks are helping each other with new ideas to stay inspired. This community event was born from such an idea, and we hope that you will join us in this new endeavour.

Stay Home. Play Together. Heroes Unite. Together we can make a difference. Between the 15th and 30th of April we are inviting you to take part in a community challenge.

Heroes! Welcome to another developer update.

It’s a short week this week and next, with folks enjoying time out of the ‘office’ to celebrate the season and taking a long weekend. Since we’re working from home, perhaps it just means switching Steam accounts and playing some new releases, or hanging out in the garden with a cold brew. Maybe building legos with the baby sharks (doo doo doo doo doo doo) or learning a new skill, like lock picking, or baking, or something in between. Whatever we’re up to, we hope you have a nice long weekend as well, doing whatever you put your minds to.



Double the XP, double the glory! Right now, in Vermintide 2, we’ve got Double XP up and running again! This... Read more
