The Feast of Grimnir is upon us! Our brave Heroes must venture into the troll-infested hold of Karak Dal to prove themselves worthy of the title of ‘Drengbarazi’ by slaying every troll in sight!

Feast of Grimnir is a brand new, limited time, annually recurring event. This year’s event begins today and will last until September 14. For the duration of the event, the new event level, ‘The Feast of Grimnir’, will be accessible via the Weekly Event Game Mode. Play the level to complete event specific Okri’s quests and unlock rewards!

On top of that, Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders’s event section is open again, where you’ll be able to purchase a brand new cosmetic frame, alongside old event rewards from other recurring events!

As always, there will be double XP for all actions for the duration of the event!

If you’d like to know more about The Feast of Grimnir, check out the most recent entries in Lohner’s Chronicles (Part 1 and Part 2), as well as this dev blog about the level!

A brand new limited time mission! The Ubersreik 5 must venture into a Dwarfen hold that’s been overrun with Bile Trolls and exterminate them.

We’ve interviewed the main level designer for the new and upcoming Vermintide 2 event mission: The Feast of Grimnir!

“My name is Mikael Sundvall, I’ve been at Fatshark since 2016. I joined production of Vermintide 2 when they had just started as a Level Designer. \[...] I’ve been a Level Designer and a Level Artist, right now I am both. I’ve been involved in all the levels except for Bögenhafen.” ~ Mikael

From the beginning we knew we wanted to have a new recurring event sometime during the end of Summer to complement the rest of the yearly events. Mikael was asked to come up with ideas for a map that was unique and experimental enough to fit the celebratory nature of the event!

Mikael came up with about five different pitches, each more extravagant than the last. While this time we picked Feast of Grimnir, there’s always a chance to revisit those other ideas for later maps!

“That was kinda the pitch: adding ‘Dwarf’ and ‘Nurgle’ as a setting, and then focusing on Trolls as a gameplay theme.” ~ Mikael

The dwarf setting also gave Mikael the opportunity to use some assets he had already prototyped before, such as the giant statue setpieces used in the beginning of the level.

As always, after the pitch was selected, a Level Design Document was crafted that outlined a rough map of the level, showing each area with reference images and concept art to give an idea of what each area is meant to look like. From there, a basic blockout version of the level was made. Since we already had a lot of dwarfen assets, those were used instead of the typical gray boxes we usually use for blockout maps.

Once this foundation was established, Mikael, along with our other designers and artists, began to work on fleshing out and polishing the level through various iterations and tests, bringing it to life.

Beyond the troll theme, one of the more unique aspects of this map is its non-linear nature! It was also one of the biggest challenges. Unlike most maps, which start you from point A to B (with some maps also having different paths you can take to reach point B!), this level has a portion in the middle where there are multiple paths the players must take, each its own section of the map. Players can choose the order in which they tackle each path, but eventually they must go through all of them to complete the level!

“The idea for the whole setup is that \[...] there should be differences in each area depending on the order. So, for instance, if you take the cog first you gotta turn off all the lights, which will make the other areas dark. If you turn on the water, you’re going to raise the water level in the other areas \[…] I hope that players at least try to go through it in different order and realize that there are differences and find their own preferred path.” ~ Mikael

While that might not sound overly complicated, it actually proved quite challenging because of how the game’s Enemy Director functions, since it was designed with linear paths in mind. Near the end of Vermintide 2’s original production, Mikael had attempted and prototyped making entire levels out of this concept – an entire map split into different chunks that players could tackle in any order – but it had proven too incompatible with the Enemy Director’s linear nature. This map provided an opportunity to tackle it at a smaller scale; a section of the map being non-linear rather than the entire thing.

“This kind of level is kind of a test for it. If this is really cool we’ll see if maybe we want to try this in something bigger but… Anyhow, this was years ago that we were talking about this and now I finally got the chance to do this, to try it in a simpler setup.” ~ Mikael

In case you’re curious, the way we went about this is to make the AI director consider the entire multiple paths section (along with its central ‘hub’) to be one unified area. It’s only once you exit it through the elevator that the Director finally acknowledges the players moving to a different area!

“\[Originally] that was really the main thing, the end event. So it would be a section of traversal leading up to that area and that would be the main event in the level. But then \[...] we knew we wanted to have this ending where players could choose to not kill the trolls. \[...] It felt like that’s kind of anti-climactic for an ending, so that’s why we kind of said ‘we need something more at the end there’.” ~ Mikael

While escaping from a pack of trolls by the skin of your teeth is exciting enough, a troll hunt would not be complete without a proper slaying of trolls at the end, ey? But you’ll have to find out what that ‘something more’ at the end is yourselves. We’re really proud of how it turned out! There’s even some additional secrets to be found by those with a keen eye and a drive for exploration!

“I really like the statues. \[...] I mean the big, big statues. Even though it might be kind of simple from a gameplay perspective, it’s still like a cool moment I think.” ~ Mikael

That’s all we have for today! We hope you have a blast playing Feast of Grimnir!

~The Vermintide Team

An absent-minded man of mysteries, Franz Lohner relies on his bulging journal to keep track of occurrences, intrigues and arguments around Taal's Horn Keep. Sometimes his notes are even useful, believe it or not. The Franz Lohner Chronicles are extracts from that journal.

Well, it took them long enough but the Ubersreik Five are back in residence, after chasing after… something. They don’t always tell me what they’re up to these days, but I suppose that’s to be expected. 

I can’t say that they were all entirely thrilled to find Cousin Okri and his grumble of longbeards camped outside the keep. “Just what we needed: more dwarfs,” is how Kerillian put it, but I suppose she has her reasons, good and bad. Kruber and Sienna just joined in with the quaffing as if nothing was out of place, and while Saltzpyre clearly wasn’t happy to have Okri hanging about and giving him competition for his otherwise uncontested mantle of “disapproving presence”, it was actually Bardin of all people who seemed least at ease. At least to start with.

The air cleared a little when Okri laid out his intentions, in a voice as close to walking on gravel as makes no difference. No, the Ubersreik Five hadn’t yet earned the title of drengbarazi but he, Cousin Okri, was prepared to give them a fine opportunity to do so.

The dwarf hold of Karak Dal isn’t what you’d call a particularly thriving settlement, so when a particularly belligerent troll chieftain stomped his way into its upper levels, they quickly found out that they didn’t have enough steady dwarfen warriors to chop the brute into strips of easily-cured meat. Though the elders quickly petitioned aide from other holds, times are tough, and with the ratmen running hither and yon across this part of the world, no help has readily been forthcoming.

Enter the Ubersreik Five! Or, at least, that’s the plan. Okri’s claiming that tomorrow marks the first day of the Feast of Grimnir, and that such times are best marked by finding the biggest and nastiest troll you can and letting your axe do the talking. I don’t know how much of that’s actually true. Both Bardin and Hedda were giving Okri funny looks. Could be that he’s just spinning a tale  - you never can tell with dwarfs.

However, Feast of Grimnir or not, some facts aren’t for questioning. The Ubersreik Five have to prove themselves to Okri’s discerning eye, and the dwarfs of Karak Dal need a bit of good old-fashioned derring-do and elbow grease to put an end to their troll troubles. Okri’s even wrangled Olesya’s crystal ball away from her so he and his grumble can keep an eye on what my bold heroes get up to down in the depths.

Win, lose or draw, it’s definitely going to be a fight to remember. 

And then, if I know my dwarfs, the drinking’s going to begin all over again.

An absent-minded man of mysteries, Franz Lohner relies on his bulging journal to keep track of occurrences, intrigues and arguments around Taal's Horn Keep. Sometimes his notes are even useful, believe it or not. The Franz Lohner Chronicles are extracts from that journal.

I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have this chronicle back in my hands. It’s been missing so long, I couldn’t even tell you when I’d lost it. Turned the keep up and down, I have, and took every scoundrel in the place to task into the bargain. 

Sienna insisted Saltzpyre had nobbled it to ascertain as to whether or not I’d been scribbling down heretical musings. Heretical! Me! And this from the man who set us all looking for the Citadel of Eternity! Anyhow, when I’d had a good rummage through Saltzpyre’s chamber without success - some of the things I found there are better left uncommitted to the written page, I can tell you - Kerillian blamed Bardin, Bardin blamed Kruber, and Kruber just gave me that long, patient look I’ve been seeing a lot lately, and ushered me back downstairs with a stiff drink and a pat on the back. 

Where, naturally, I found this wretched book in a pile of unsorted stock for the Emporium of Wonders. Where’d I left it in the first place, most likely. Still, I don’t feel entirely unvindicated. There’s been a lot of little notes left in the margins in at least three different styles of handwriting. It’s a damned liberty is what it is, but I suppose under the circumstances I’d be better off not making more of a fuss. They’re all halfway to thinking that I’m just a foolish old man already,

Anyway, I’ve more troubling things to think on.

We’ve got guests. And not more of those “we took a wrong turn on the mountainside, and are powerfully averse to getting gored by beastmen” sort of guests. Dwarfs, in point of fact, and not any old dwarfs at that. This is no less a personage than one Cousin Okri, and a good grumble of longbeards. I’m pretty sure that a “grumble” is the collective noun for longbeards. If it isn’t, it should be, because so far as I can tell that’s all they do apart from fight endless bouts of practice combat and drink honest men out of their meagre stocks of ale.

What brings Cousin Okri – who I have to say is shorter than I expected, which is a strange thing to say about a dwarf – to my door? It’s a matter of honour, because of course it is. Turns out, that the title of “drengbarazi” is a weightier one than I’d realised, and Okri’s not best pleased to hear that Bardin’s chosen to bestow it on the other four-fifths of the Ubersreik Five. He’s insisting that their right to bear it be proven in suitable fashion, and forthwith – which I don’t mind saying is awful hasty for a dwarf. In the meantime, Okri and his grumble have set up camp part way down the mountainside, and the nights have been full of drunken singing and the clash of gromril axes ever since. 

I tell you, I can’t wait for the Five to return so we can get this matter sorted out. I’m not getting any younger and I need my beauty sleep.

And besides, I’m sure whatever Okri has in mind won’t trouble my merry band too much.

Almost sure.

It's a time for quaffing and settling old grudges — The Feast of Grimnir approaches, Heroes.

It’s time to shed some blood and harvest some skulls! Today’s update marks the start of this year’s Skulls in-game event, alongside double XP, the release of our newest level, tons of bug fixes, and a mix of updates and tweaks that include Quality of Life changes, minor balance changes, and some improvements to the Bots’ AI logic!

And blood for the Blood God!
Starting today until June 1st, the Skulls for the Skull throne in-game event will be active! Collect skulls while playing Vermintide 2 to complete challenges, but beware of the power that comes with it; drawing the Blood God’s attention too much might spell doom if you can’t keep up the carnage for long…



For the duration of the event, each enemy you slay in Vermintide 2 will increase the kill counter! If the community can reach the target of 400 million kills in that time frame, you will all unlock a new set of Crimson illusions for the following weapons:

• Kruber’s Halberd
  
• Slayer Bardin’s Dual Axes
  
• Kerillian’s Spear
  
• Saltzpyre’s Volley Crossbow
  
• Sienna’s Flamestorm Staff

You can check the status of the kill counter here.



Lohner’s shop has once again opened up with the goodies from years past! If you’ve missed the reward from previous Skulls for the Skull Throne Vermintide 2 events, you can grab them for shillings here for as long as the event lasts!

Keep in mind that this year’s rewards can only be obtained by completing the challenge!

Alongside the Skulls event, this update brings you a FREE new map: The Well of Dreams!


This map is the conclusion of the Verminous Dreams campaign! Race against time through the Warlord’s stronghold, the Skaven-infested temple of Athel Lithri, to stop the verminous scheme and the dangers of what they could do with a Warp Bomb if they manage to make use of the Well of Dreams! If such a thing exists…

Patch 6.6.0 also brings some features and tweaks based on the feedback we’ve received over time! For starters, we’re chipping away at the issues with Bots underperforming, and this update has seen an improvement on the bots’ ability to stick with the team and revive players.

Additionally, you now have the option to purge unwanted boons in Chaos Wastes by selecting them in Holseher’s map in between Pilgrimage missions. No more getting punished for randomly getting a boon that cripples your Wastes’ build!

And finally, for a bit of flair, the victory screen in Adventure missions has been revamped with a glorious parade shot of our successful heroes! Soak in each victory, it’s well earned! Your Hero will be posed in your currently equipped Weapon Pose.

Without further ado…

• Temporary Health changes: This patch sees a lot of changes to how Temporary HP talents are handled in the game. The aim is to balance the talents against one another and make them more well-rounded, while also finding room for more focused playstyles that use them to their full potential.
  
  • All classes have had the third talent on the first row replaced from the Heal Share talent to a Temporary Health talent.
    
  • Heal Share is now a necklace trait. It has replaced Hand of Shallya.
    
  • All four Temporary Health talents have been renamed to have a unified naming scheme across all careers (similar to Stagger talents.)
    
    • The talent that gives Temporary Health based on amount of enemies hit is now named 'Carve'
      
    • The talent that gives Temporary Health based on critical hits and headshots is now named 'Sting'
      
    • The talent that gives Temporary Health based on stagger is now named 'Second Wind'
      
    • The talent that gives Temporary Health upon killing an enemy is now named 'Execute'
      
    • Carve: Hitting enemies beyond the cap of 5 now grants half THP instead of 0.
      
    • Execute: The amount of health received has been adjusted on a per enemy basis. In general, Skaven enemies should give more THP than before, while Chaos enemies should give less than before. Chaos still gives more THP than Skaven overall, but the differences are not as pronounced.
      
    • Sting: This Temporary Health talent was rebalanced fairly recently, and has therefore not seen any changes in this patch, apart from getting a new name.
      
    • Second Wind: Decreased the amount of Temporary Health gained from staggers, based on stagger strength. Weak staggers were reduced more than strong staggers.
      
    • Second Wind: Attacks that kill the enemy now give THP, using the minimum possible stagger value.
• Sister of the Thorn's Deepwood Staff lift on Chaos Warriors with Shields now last 4 seconds instead of 8.

• BOT Changes
  • Zealots will now be healed by bots when they are on their last wound.
    
  • Bots will prioritize reviving at maximum interaction distance rather than trying to stand on top of the player
    
  • Bots will sometimes attempt reviving while being targeted by enemies. Threat level by enemies targeting them, as well as their own revive speed is taken into consideration.
    
  • Bots will check for other players to follow if the player they are following hasn't moved for 20 seconds.
• Enabled the Skulls event, including double XP, Lohner's time-limited event shop, 400 million kills counter, and new Event challenges at Okri's.
  
• Chaos Wastes changes:
  
  • Loot rats now have a chance to drop Pilgrim's coins.
    
  • Obtaining a boon that is part of a Boon Set now increases the likelyhood of other pieces of the set showing up.
    
  • You can now view all of your current boons on the Pilgrimage Map.
    
  • You can also 'purge' individual boons to remove them while on the Pilgrimage Map.
    
  • Added 27 new Weapon Illusions of Bitter Dreams as Weekly Expedition rewards!*

• Re-sanctioned the following mods:
  
  • Bestiary
    
  • Armory

• Chaos Wastes - Made Belakor locusts much less prone to fail to spawn the Shadow Warrior. Added fallback to immediately spawn the crystal if the shadow warrior fails to spawn.

• Chaos Wastes - Fixed a bug where running the "Virtue of Audacity" & "Lileath's Blessed Destiny" boons made the Grail Knight consume both ability charges in one career ability use.
  
• Fixed the 'Being shot at by a Ratling gunner and being turned into Bögenhafen cheese, send help' voicelines not triggering. Heroes will now (sometimes) call out that they are being targeted.

• Fixed a crash when joining a Custom Versus Game from an Adventure Keep, and then going to a Versus Keep.

• Fixed Bardin's beard becoming possessed when using the Bakbok hat and playing at 35 FPS or lower.

• Fixed the Grail Knight's "'tis but a scratch!" challenge.
  
• Fixed the "In the line of fire" challenge.
  
• Fixed the Sister of the Thorn's "Shall not pass" challenge. Now triggers off of hit instead of kill.
  
• Fixed a visual bug where materials for upgrading overlapped in the weapon inspect menu in certain conditions.
  
• Versus - Fixed a bug where the host Custom Games could see the enemy team's social wheel commands.
  
• Fixed a bug where the "Dazh's Peculiar Mirth" boon could permanently stay active if two elites are killed at the same time. Cheeky buggers.
  
• Fixed Warrior Priest players entering a crouch animation even though they are not crouching, if they block using the hammer & shield and then swap to another weapon.
  
• Versus - TAB menu in now displays the Versus level information instead of the Adventure level information
  
• Versus - Fixed a bug in Custom Games where the host player gets soft locked if trying to quit the game while with players from other keeps connected to it.

• Fixed a bug where the example text beneath the subtitle font size setting gets cut off in certain languages.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Handmaiden's "Gift of Ladrielle" talent where the disabled collision against enemies turned off at the end of the dash. The disabled collision now extends for the full duration of the stealth as well.
