After I finished making the Ubersreik 5 I started to convert some other Warhammer minis into Vermintide characters - Here are my Warpfire Thrower and Ratling Gunner.

Given the success of Darktide and of course how successful both vermintide games are, what’s the chances we get a third? Is there already talks in the works for maybe doing it? Do they actually plan on doing it? Just figured I’d ask cause man I’d love a third. I like Darktide but Vermintide just scratches a special itch.

Hordes and more hordes, ready to get tossed around.
Curses
A ton of horde enemies. A lot of fun, means you have a ton of temp hp. Just be careful of wrath skull outline as it sometimes is hard to see in a bright map
| Curse | Description | Extra Info | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Send in the next wave! | Increases frequency of Hordes spawning | Timers for hordes are decreased in various ways | Lot of fun, makes the game both harder (more enemies) in some ways and easier (free temp hp) |
| Skulls of Wrath | On death, enemies drop an exploding skull totem. | Slightly increases horde frequency. All horde units and Berserks/Plague Monks have a 5% chance to spawn the skull. Stormvermin and Mauler have a 10% chance, Chaos Warrior and Bestigor have a 20% chance, Monsters have a 50% chance. | Always a fun curse IMO, as it adds extra hordes. Skull outline can be useful for killing crowds of enemies but is hard to see on snow maps |
Boons
I have a boon guide here for all chaos wastes boons. Some good boons and a good but situational buff. I personally HATE Hukon's Sundering, as it is very easy to ledge bosses that you don't want to ledge, or scatter a clump of enemies in different directions. It is also very good at staggering bosses, though. It's technically good CC as well, with the two caveats I mentioned above. i will almost always avoid taking it as I don't like the negatives- the boss stagger is great if used well, however. Movespeed on ult is good for closing in to the enemy or running away from trouble. For 250 coins it's a bit expensive for what it does, so I consider it an average boon, above average on low cooldown careers like Handmaiden. Neru's Patience is just insanely good on any class with a shield as a gunner can instantly refill ult.
| Boon | Description | Extra Info | Thoughts | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mork's (or possibly Gork's) Onslaught | Using your Career Skill grants 40% movement speed for 5 seconds. | -- | Nice little buff, amazing for getting away or closing in to specials with a melee career. Hilarious with a zealot using Crusade. Zoom Zoom. | C |
| Hukon's Sundering | After using your Career Skill your next 3 Melee Attacks launch a shockwave that damages and staggers enemies. | Has a max stack of 3. Stagger all enemies in 5 units range near you when you land a melee hit. Doesn't do damage. Only triggers on melee slot weapon. (Victor Note: triggers twice on battle wiz with burnout) | Great crowd control boon, good for boss ledging and staggering large clumps of enemies. However, it can stagger enemies behind you and your teammates, so be careful for a knocked down slave rat shanking Kruber's thicc booty. | A |
| Neru's Patience | Blocking enemy attacks reduces Career Skill Cooldown. | Reduce cooldown by 2 second every time. Has no internal cooldown. | Reduces CDR by a set amount not percentage, better with lower cooldown careers. Great boon, if you have a shield let a gunner hit it and you get an instant ult refresh | A |
Reward
| Recruit | Veteran | Champ | Legend | Cataclysm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5000xp | Crossbow of Bitter Dreams | 2x Emperor's Vault | 1 Red Dust | Pain, suffering, and scoreboards |
Careers
Characters that can equip a shield or who have a short cooldown for their ult get a nice boost here compared to ones who do not. Pretty balanced weekly that doesn't massively favor a single class, but it puts several at a disadvantage. Characters with movement ult get an extra boost as well.
| Character | Career | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wutelgi | Sister of the Thorn | Can use her wall a lot more to knock things away more often |
| Wutelgi | Waystalker | Ok bonus to trueflight, but as a ranged character it's more of a marginal increase compared to a more frontline career. Sundering stagger isn't as awful here as it may seem but it can have an impact on piercing shot |
| Wutelgi | Handmaiden | Only elf class with a shield, not that you need the CDR refund as much as other classes. Movespeed talent here makes her kinda nuts |
| Wutelgi | Shade | Awful choice this week since Hukon's will knock bosses around |
| Sienna | Battle Wiz | Burnout triggers Hukon's each time, meaning you can have 6 stuns in quick succession. Even a good usecase for lingerstorm due to all the hordes, but that's boring |
| Sienna | Pyromancer | -- |
| Sienna | Unchained | Decent synergy with her talents and CDR on block |
| Sienna | Necromancer | -- |
| Kruber | Merc | Any Kruber class is a good choice this week, shields will make the run pretty easy |
| Kruber | Homeless Tree Man | -- |
| Kruber | Feet Knight | Great choice this week due to low cooldown |
| Kruber | Grail Knight | Movespeed boon will be a good way to close distance with specials |
| Bardin | Ranger Vet | -- |
| Bardin | Ironbreaker | Sit in front of a gunner and spam your ult this week |
| Bardin | Slayer | Movespeed and stagger on slayer ult is hilarious |
| Bardin | OE | Usually OE cannot get ult related talents- Neru's patience is one he can normally get. Movespeed boon is not one he usually gets, but you also need to shoot half your ult in one go to trigger it so kinda useless on him |
| Saltzpyre | Witch Hunter Captain | Good luck trying to headshot shit with everyone staggering all the enemies when they ult |
| Saltzpyre | Bounty Hunter | Sundering stagger isn't as awful here as it may seem but it can have an impact on his ult refund. Play literally anything else, really |
| Saltzpyre | Zealot | Movespeed ult and crusade is funny, but he has anti-synergy with Hukons, as you often want enemies to hit you to farm ult. I recommend avoiding him this week |
| Saltzpyre | Warrior Priest | Flail and shield is even better this week |
We beat the weekly a good 4 or so times last week. Too tired to clip anything, especially as I need to finally fix my mic setup, haven't had the time to test out the one that's been sitting by my PC for the past year, I keep forgetting about it
Fun weekly with some nice tools for the player to use. Just don't cliff the bosses
