Vermintide is back – darker, bloodier and more intense than ever!
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Vermintide. The time has arrived to revisit the fierce first-person co-op slaughter-fest featuring visceral and ground breaking melee action, set in the apocalyptic End Times of the war-ravaged Warhammer Fantasy Battles world .
Our 5 heroes have returned to take on an even greater threat – the combined forces of a malevolent and destructive Chaos army and the swarming Skaven horde. Prepare to be challenged like never before as you and your team desperately try to survive the never-ending onslaught. Choose between 15 different careers, climb the talent trees, customize your arsenal to fit your unique play style, fight your way through a myriad of stunning levels, and challenge yourself in our new Heroic Deeds System. The only thing standing between utter defeat and victory is you and your allies. If you fall - so will the Empire.
Choose between 15 unique careers, each with different appearances, abilities, talents and weapons.
The combined forces of Chaos and Skaven are savage and merciless, and it will take a coordinated team effort to make it out alive.
Prepare to face a threat of unparalleled magnitude as the Chaos and Skaven armies have formed a dark pact to plunge the world into death and decay. Our heroes will face a horde of hostile combatants in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Facing the infinite numbers of the Skaven combined with the brutal strength of the Chaos army, the heroes must stand together and their fight must strike a balance between sound tactics and fury to overcome unimaginable odds.
Experience unique scenarios and intense trials with our new Heroic Deeds System - consumable quests that will dramatically alter enemy composition, level settings, weapon use and mission objectives.
Level up your heroes and climb the talent tree of your chosen career, unlocking new abilities and gaining access to powerful gear along the way.
Explore a wide range of breathtaking new levels set in and around Helmgart, a fortress city protecting the Bretonnian border of the Empire.

With this free Content Update, Fatshark now officially launched mod support. Mods will be supported through Steam Workshop where you can subscribe to community created mods and try them out as you see fit. If you wish to learn more what this means for you as a player or aspiring modder, here is how-to guide.
But that is not all. This free Content Update introduces 100+ new cosmetics, Okri's Challenges and new ways of converting dust to the game.
If you’ve visited the keep lately, you might have noticed a certain book appear next to Lohner. This brand new interface, called Okri’s Challenges, is a way for you as a player to progress and earn rewards for your hard work. In Okri's Challenges, you will be able to pick up daily Quests that will earn you new loot. If you do not have time to complete an active quest, don't worry, they will stay there until you complete or dismiss them.
Under Challenges, you will have the opportunity to really enjoy the fruits of your labour. Here Okri has been particularly hard at work by presenting you with some of the most sought-after gear in the Empire. That means if there’s a specific hero you enjoy playing, there will be plenty of ways for you to show off your hard work, adding further to the late game experience.
With the new Content update, they also introduce 100+ new cosmetics ranging from hats, skins and portrait frames. Some of these will be exclusively earned through Okri’s Challenges and some of them will only be obtainable by opening Commendations Chests. After listening to a lot of feedback from players, game developers have also increased the chance of obtaining cosmetics in chests.
Based on a lot of feedback from the community regarding the obtainability of a certain green dust, a new system has been implemented to convert higher tier dust to a lower tier. This means you can convert Orange to Blue dust and Blue to Green dust.
