The most wonderful time of the year in Rocket League is back! Frosty Fest is officially underway and running now ‘til January 3.

This year, we’re spreading the festive cheer with Challenges, wintry rewards (with some Golden Gifts thrown in!), and returning Limited Time Modes. It is the season of giving after all!

If the season weren’t chilly enough, make it even colder with frosty accessories. Available until the end of the event, tackle 12 Frosty Fest Challenges to earn new Toppers, Antennas, a Decal, and more! Every Challenge has a reward for completion.



Is curling your favorite sport (besides Soccar)? Roll around the Arena with the Curling Stone Wheels. If you like keeping a spare, don’t leave the Curling Stone Topper behind!

Speaking of Toppers, use the Oh No Snowman Topper to fulfill a snowman’s melting wish of riding on top of a car. While the snowman sits atop, make it feel at home with the Mountaintop Octane Decal.

For completing one of the more difficult Challenges (Play 20 Online Matches), you’ll unlock a Golden Gift that pulls from the Impact, Secret Santa, and Accelerator Series. You can complete this Challenge up to five times, which means you can earn up to five Golden Gifts! 🎁

A special time of year means special ways to play—the Winter Breakaway and Speed Demon Limited Time Modes (LTMs) are back for Frosty Fest.



The Soccar ball gets subbed for a Hockey Puck in the Winter Breakaway LTM! Stay frosty while you throw down 3v3 on a snowy Throwback Stadium.


Too cool to chill? The Speed Demon LTM is a lightning-quick variant of Boomer Ball with unlimited boost at double the power. With that in mind, expect plenty of collateral damage—but don’t worry about getting taken out too much. You’ll be back behind the wheel in no time with 1-second respawns!

There’s plenty in 2023’s Frosty Fest to keep you busy, so don’t get left out in the cold! Frosty Fest is back now until January 3.

From life-giving water and fertile earth, we move to a goddess whose power is a little more...destructive. ⚡


Stryge is the Goddess of Storms, Sky, and Magic. She’s an Eagle that rules the Salt Flats. While she has quite the temper, get on the destructive deity’s good side and she will bless you with the knowledge of her power.


She rewards the ambitious and does not mind flaunting her power over the weather. She could bless the rains or conjure a wicked lightning storm at her will. Alas, abusing her gifts or deceiving her only amplifies her already rather fickle attitude to everyone around.

“Here to misuse what’s left of my power?”



The Salt Flats used to be a prosperous place - the three lighthouses became beacons of hope and knowledge for adventuring mages. Stryge often had a soft spot for plants, such as the Moon Glory flowers that blossomed in Gleb’s Canyons. The local Witchwood trees were tended to by the Mages, much to her delight. The Mages in turn benefited from this arrangement, since the Salt Flats yielded precious pearls that local water often created.

“The wraiths took everything in this world in the hope of eternal life. Let them suffer in the world they’ve made.”



Free Stryge from her wraith prison and she’ll grant you the power of the wind through the Cloak of Winds. Initially, it’ll allow you to glide through the air (consuming your mana as you do so) but, if you continue to be brave, you may impress her enough to upgrade it. She may even find you talon-ted!


She will also allow you a small amount of her “shocking” power if you bring her a dry feather from one of the surviving birds. Throw this feather to unleash a concentrated lighting bolt and a gust of wind- good for clearing wraiths and their murky corruption. The further away you throw, the more powerful the wind will be!

[expand type=details]

1. Reworked Tavern & Workshop/NASCRAC economy.

     and the tavern’s prestige (the number of sausages).

   • The aim of these reworks is to reduce the predominance of the tavern in the dungeon’s economy and to allow different strategies to prosper.

6. Fixed some issues with the way minions selected their meals:

Pelia’s “packrat” tendencies have put the Enterprise in the crosshairs of some less than savory individuals. It might just take the arrival of an old friend to help sort this mess out.

Hotfix 5.2.2 - December 20

This one is tiny, I promise!

Fixes

• Fixed Bestigors and Minotaurs ending their charge early if they have to run around an obstacle.
  
• Fixed an exploit where an Outcast Engineer with the "Bombadier" talent gained 3 new grenades when leaving and rejoining a game. Cheeky!
  
• Fixed a bug where Outcast Engineer's "Superior Gaskets" talent did not provide power on clients.

Hotfix 5.2.1 - December 19

Fixes

• Fixed crash when bots use true flight attacks like Waywatcher ability or Necromancer "Lost Souls" which target enemies that get removed from the game.
  
• Fixed a bug where a Sienna premium cosmetic item was missing its store icon.
  
• Fixed a bug where "Lingering Flames" DoT stacked. Sorry, Battle Wizard mains!
  
• Fixed a bug where Engineer's "Bombardier" talent did not give Bardin three bombs on first spawn. Engineer mains can now once again aim for the back of the elf's head!
  
• Fixed rare crash where Mercenary's talent "Strike Together" could crash the game when the target ally was removed on the same frame as when buff was applied.
  
• Fixed a bug where Warrior Priest's talent "Blazing Bright" granted him Fury when he was knocked down. You're not a Necromancer, Saltzpyre!

As a side note, we know the patches have been abnormally large in size as of late. This is because we've changed our patching structure to one that doesn't bloat the game over time, but we've found that it leads to patches turning into extremely large downloads.

We're currently looking into improving our building and patching process to avoid this issue, but it may take some time. In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience of these large patches!

------------------------
We are aware of an issue where the Eternos-Ichor Glaia Weapon Illusion appears to be locked for some players, despite redeeming it successfully via Gifts of the Wolf Father.

Please rest assured we are looking in to this, but due to the holiday period, there will be a delay in resolving the issue. We also want to assure you that the illusion is still in your inventory, even though it is inaccessible.

Thank you for your patience and apologies for the inconvenience.
------------------------


A Merry Mondstille to all of you! The Wolf Father is coming around again this year and shall be handing out some lovely gifts for all of you! We wanna take this moment to thank you guys for being with us throughout the years, and to express our hope that you continue accompanying us into the content that awaits us in the future!

This patch includes the activation of the Gifts of the Wolf Father calendar and a balance pass on careers and weapons to address some of the bigger pain points regarding balance!


Starting from today December 13 all the way to January 7, log into Vermintide 2 each day to receive a gift from us! Most of these gifts are Premium Cosmetics, but there’s some other, equally attractive goodies in there that we hope you’ll like!

All players have a 2 day grace period to claim each of the items from each calendar day as they unlock (plus the day of release itself, for a total of 3 days), so even if you miss a day or two you won’t miss any rewards if you log in regularly!


We heard your feedback regarding certain overperforming and underperforming careers and weapons, and so we’ve done a balance pass on some of the biggest offenders (Looking at you, Battle Wizard and Javelin!). In case you missed it, we released a dev blog going into the changes and the thought process behind them, check it out here.

And, if you’re interested in the detailed changes themselves, check out the patch notes below!

Perfect for this cold Festag, a lovely new collection of cosmetics has arrived for our heroes, with a new hat and skin available for the following careers:

• Pyromancer
  
• Slayer
  
• Mercenary
  
• Waystalker
  
• Witch Hunter Captain

You can learn more by visiting this post on the Vermintide website!

We’ve heard you guys loud and clear that you’re dissatisfied with the performance of Bots as of late, particularly as the previously sanctioned Bot Improvements mod became unsanctioned with the launch of Necromancer.

While most of the features in said mod had already been integrated into the base game in previous updates (alongside the features of other sanctioned mods that were integrated as QoL features), there’s some features that are still missing and that we’ll be looking into adding in the near future, such as making bots not heal Zealot players unless they’re on their last wound, or making bots follow the Host more consistently (instead of splitting up among all the players or acting indecisive).

That said, a lot of the complaints related to Bot AI are not related to these missing features, but rather to bot performance being lacking in other areas. We are investigating these issues to hopefully also address them in the future.

We’ve also added native support for Dual Sense and Dual Shock 4 controllers, showing the correct prompts and letting you use the controller without needing to use interpreter software!

Monday the 18th: Developer Stream - News about upcoming content!

This Monday, we’ll be having a stream on Twitch! Hosted by the fantastic Ishka alongside our developers: Game Designer, Karl; Design Director, Joakim; Product Owner, Erik! Tune in at 5 PM CET today to chat with our developers, ask questions, and learn about what we’re working on next!

For everyone who missed today’s stream, surprise! We’re SO excited to re-reveal that we’re working on Versus! We still can’t say much other than “It’s coming!”, but if you have any questions, we’ll be compiling a list and hopefully answering them later on in the future, once we’re ready to reveal more. We've started up a thread where you can let us know your thoughts and questions, tell us everything, ask us everything!


Without further ado...
