Hi Guys,

i wanted to ask a question for a friend whos english isnt the best. He is a complete vermintide addict with almost 5k hours into the second game alone and hes been loving every single bit of content they released so far over the years. Hes also been enjoying the versus mode lately but it has a downside for him personally. In Short: there is no real matchmaking, which allows enemy teams to be full pre mates sometimes while he gets matched with newbies, that is not fun, needless to say. That brings me to my point: He wanted to know if there is a way to play the versus mode alone with bots as allies and bots as enemys. Dont get me wrong, he is not stupid, he knows how the mode was intended to be played. He asked because there are a few guys, the same names he reads every day, and these guys are just playing on their own ALL the time, you can also not join these guys in the server browser. Thats why he is asking.. Is there a way for him to play that mode alone to get some levels done like the others are doing? Maybe something with the router ports?

Sorry for the long text and thank you in advance!

I can see this going either way, but I’d like a second opinion: did I fall behind or did they leave me?

I’m playing on quickplay, legend, as Handmaiden on Against the Grain. We’re just about to reach the big oak before the drop off into the orchard with the two grims and the guaranteed boss inside the barn. There’s a bunch enemies, and we start to hew through them, typical stuff.

I’m up against a Rotshield and about a dozen adds, like 4 of them are the shielded northerners, so I’m taking some time to chew through them.

It takes me about 2 minutes, maybe a bit less, because of the overlapping attacks and trying to dance around the Rotshield, and I’m using the Greatsword(and im not a master at this). Probably could have done it faster, I’m not saying I fought it perfectly.

My teammates, all three of them players, are already up at the wall jumping into the orchard. I message “let’s try and stick together”, which online I guess is the same as an insult. This begins an argument in which I’m blamed for needing better pace and falling behind.

Now, as I understand it, if you don’t stick together, you at least buddy up. It’s like, a basic principle in this game. I didn’t run off the path or head backwards, I was next to them until they left.

So, despite me being very entrenched in thinking I’m right here and they are bad teammates, I’d like a second opinion: did I fall behind or did they leave me?

I just got back after not playing since necromancer got added and I’m noticing some weird things when trying to craft and open chests. Usually it fluctuates between +5 and -10 on gear power but now it’s wildly different and I can’t fit the life of me manage to craft anything good.

For example my Sienna is level 32 and my current hero power is 619 if I equip all my highest gear (all 300 except 1 item that is 299) and I’m crafting to get a decent flame sword but I’m getting 266 items and I’ve only manage to craft a single blue which is the 266 item in 10+ tries. Likewise opening chests seem to give me anything between 250 and 300 which feels way more random than what it was before.

Idk if they changed something but the usual “open 2-3 chests and craft the lowest item after” method seems completely useless now. I get it if they didn’t like people doing that but I’m just wondering how it actually works now and if it’s even worth crafting or opening chests unless you’re at max level or something. I’ve tried to find answers but since the system has gone through many changes before I can’t find any relevant information.

Me and my friend are new players. Do Veteran chests give power 300 items or not? Everywhere I look, I see people saying Veteran chests give people max power gear but when I check in game, it’s hardly the case. Veteran chests only reward you with max power 200 gear based on the chests’ description, so why people keep saying you can play Veteran to still get the best gear? If the description is correct, I should only be able to get 300 power gear from champion, is it not?

While the sale is going on, I want to buy a DLC for the character I prefer to play with, getting access to the strongest/valid weapons. My preferred careers are Bounty Hunter and Witch Hunter Captain

I dont care about pvp, pve with my friend is what interests me

Hey all, i’m really enjoying Vermintide and wish to get 100% but the challenges require some help & coordination if anyone is interested hmu :)

Hey folks, i noticed it while playing the versus mode that the specials have lines that they speak when attackign a hero or summoning vermintide. Is therw a video on youtube or something that i can listen to them ? I really liked the voicework on every rattie

And if so, can I turn them off with spawn tweaks? Me and my friends do Against the Grain somewhat frequently and I can't remember the last time we fought a boss on that map that didn't come from the barn. A couple good True Solo runs ruined by boss spawns near the first building and in the massive field before the first healing-and-ammo checkpoint, wasn't sure if I messed up a mod setting or got unlucky.

I'm a returning player due to the massively discounted sale for all of the DLC and because of the free versus content they added.

Full disclosure I wasn't good before and I'm certainly not good now. I have a level 28 Krillian and I've been bouncing around slowly leveling up other characters. Because of my Krillian when I craft gear it's close to 300 power.

I play with some friends who are just as new as I am and we struggle on veteran difficulty to complete later campaigns. We don't have any issue with the first campaign but the later campaigns we consistently fail on.

I'm wondering if it's worth playing on recruit but I also recognize that veteran is likely trivial to the majority of the player base and given that recruit limits item power to 100 I question if it would just be a waste of time to play on that difficulty.

So I'm hoping to get some advice on this from some veteran players who know what's what. Generally I don't have a full party and we usually have a couple of bots. I'm thinking while that's somewhat of a handicap that there are players who complete the hardest difficulties solo so this shouldn't be that big of a deal.

Hey guys!

Got the game for 2.7 eur and been having blast for the past 14 or so hours played. Got Archer girl to 30 and am level 20 with the flailing madman.

I see the DLCs complete pack is on sale for like 30 euros, which is more than the 2.7 I paid for the base. I'm not sure how long I'll enjoy the game, but got plenty of content left so far. I have only finished the main campaign and been spamming some quick plays.

My question is, can I often find complete edition for a good deal (say on sites like GOG) or the current deal is something to snag now as it might not come anytime soon?

I am a beginner. Hust watched a 6 year old YouTube video with advice for beginners.

It said that you should use the ‘block’ action before you revive a fallen teammate. Is this still a thing? Thanks for ur help!

Fatshark shouldn't allow new players to jump into versus from the get-go.

It's extremely frustrating to be put in a team full of newbies against a team of sweaty experienced tryhards. It's frustrating when you're playing with a level 1 Sienna who doesn't have a clue how the overcharge mechanic works and blows themselves up. It's frustrating to play with people who'll not react to specials in versus, and who won't do a thing to help if you're hooked or downed, or clearly in a pinch. More than just that, versus is a terrible way to get acquainted to the game. By comparison, the PVE has several difficulties for new players to learn the game at their pace while playing with people on their level.

I have 6-9 builds per class, I play only cata and I need more loadouts. I have to use the old UI because the new one doesn't have enough cells for builds. We need 10 or more loadouts for our builds and 2-3 for bots.

obviously VERY cheap rn on steam

but so far (just over 11 hours of play) I've only really used kerillian as handmaiden

so I was wondering, do you think I'd actually benefit from getting any class DLCs other than kerillian's, or even kerillian's?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just a bit extra edited on, decided to see how much it would actually cost to get all non-cosmetic DLCs excluding winds of change

it's about £17 rn, including winds of change that goes up to £24

but there's a bundle on steam which has all of the non-cosmetic DLCs including winds of change as well as a bonus of the collector's edition upgrade, which costs £18

I've been playing since the year this game released. I should say, I have every relatively difficult achievement in the base game; Fortunes of War cata, all of my classes completed Cata Chaos wastes with random players, etc. So I know what I'm doing. I really, really feel like this game is balanced WAY too hard towards the top echelon of players. The glass cannon classes are so weak it almost always feels like it overall increases your win rate to not play them. I don't know another game where, after 3000 hours, your main class can be difficult to win a standard game on max difficulty with, with random players. It's making me question if I'm bad at the game, but... I've done every piece of content the game has thrown at me.

My favorite class is Bounty Hunter. Over the years we've seen:

-the Bounty Hunter had its ranged auto crit costs no ammo + melee reset split into multiple talents, competing with superior talents.

- the nerfing of Repeater Pistol's alt fire blast to reduce damage. The gun right now is literal joke tier.

- the nerfing of Scrounger to normalize its return values

- the nerfing of Brace of Pistol to give it a reload time. Despite Brace of Pistol NEVER being the top ranged weapon. Also, this nerf didn't reduce its damage, it just forced you to reload for 50+% of the game. It's a nerf purely to fun, because they saw a streamer stand on an infinite ammo box and fire into a horde.

- nerfing Double Shotted's ult refund from 80% to 60%. While on the surface this seems like a small number, it literally cuts Bounty Hunter's burst damage output by 2/3rds after the first shot, forcing you to wait 3x as long between shots (assuming you take the +10% ult refund on itemization)

The thing that makes me question all of these nerfs is... the griffon-foot is pretty much stronger than all of these things, yet it has no synergy with the class. It's just a ridiculous gun that you could put on pretty much any character. I don't understand nerfs like Brace of Pistol, which purely is just a nerf to your quality of life, if it was never top tier. I don't play the other glass cannon classes as much, but that's because my friends do. We've got a Shade main, a Huntsman main, etc... despite each of us having over 1000 hours as these classes, the game is SO much easier when we just roll tank.

On steam you ask us to vote for Vermintide 2 as labor of love, but to be honest... I don't know if you deserve it. Chaos Wastes feels like its in a worse state than launch. The balance in general feels like you're forcing us to play a specific playstyle, and the "talent trees" are often entirely an illusion of choice; one talent in each row often VASTLY outpaces the others to the point where not choosing it is holding you back.

I mean, look at the Bounty Hunter tree; there's a handful of melee talents that, when you take ALL of them, the strongest thing you can still do is just to spam the Gryffonfoot, and your melee is still so subpar.

I just don't understand. I used to love this game. It really feels like that three or four month long period in Helldivers 2 where the devs nerfed everything, and everyone left, except in this game it's been going on for years. The last balance patch that nerfed all of the damage classes in exchange for an Outcast Engi buff was so miserable.

Anyway, I'm sorry if this came off as a rant. I just really miss when this game was fun. I look back at the Bounty Hunter I fell in love with and literally none of the mechanics are there anymore. I'm not sure if this is the perspective of a burnout ex-tryhard, but that I question why I feel like this game has been balanced for people who try harder than me; it can't be the expectation that the game is balanced for players with MORE than 3000 hours lol. I hope you all have had a good holiday season.

3 weeks ago:
Curse of Comrade+No Hud
2 weeks ago:
Bomb Rats+RNG Bomb Vests
A week ago:
Curse of Comrade+No Hud
This week:
Bomb Rats

We didn't get anything this bad with the first rotation. The worst we got was biweekly Bomb Rats once or twice. This shit is so bad the guy who posted them weekly fucked off because what the fuck is there to post, next week Curse of Comradeship+No Hud?

It's not even the fact that these are miserable modfiers. They're the only modifiers. Why even call it a weekly at this point? Just call it "one week curse of comradeship+no hud, the next week Bomb Rats, repeat"

This is insanely consistent and annoying, I join in, everything is perfectly smooth, and then I get disconnected after 10-20 seconds.

Any Ideas on why this keeps happening on how to fix it?

What's the difference between a 300 Orange weapon and one fully upgraded with red dust ?

I get really tired of hearing him bitch and moan when I don't buy anything from his store when I claim my daily gifts.

I'm grail knight rank 647, red dust upgradease and sword, everything else above 295,

Rank 35+2, does the + make any difference? Or am I as powerful as I'm going to get ?

Did my first legend level last night, got all 300 level stuff except one item out of 2 post game boxes.

Held my own, but the 2 characters using magic always seem to do more damage faster and kill things quicker, can they be more powerful than me ? Or is it just those arrow more powerful characters?

I had half the kills at the end, no greens and ther same output was ridiculous.

I was also trying to craft a sword and shield "300" but got a 300 made and shield in a box, is that better ? Should I keep that and upgrade it ?
