Warhammer: Vermintide 2 becomes a roguelite in its new autonomous expansion

Vermintide 2, a first-individual brawler about smiting tides of varmint for loot, is the kind of game that lends itself to high skill challenge runs. So it's nice to see that its approaching Chaos Wastes update adds a "roguelite inspired" game mode, which is completely about pushing deeper into the game's hellish quarters for greater rewards.

And these will be new hellish quarters too, every bit 15 brand-new locations are secure, and they'll be laid forbidden differently with each run. "Trust your instincts during your explorations, the itinerary you took yesterday can embody inaccessible or obliterated," sol reads the Vermintide website. Because for each one run is different, a lot of emphasis is arranged on how you load out with weapons, boons and miracles.

The integral point is to reach the Citadel of Timelessness: There's a lot of traditional knowledge connected to this billet, but in a nutshell it's where you'll seek the party favor of your gods. Along the manner you'll stumble upon cursed areas, which are au fon high-trouble areas that demand a indisputable playstyle. IT sounds like conjunct play will postulate much of close strategizing and coaction, so I hope you have friends.

Chaos Wastes rolls out for PC on April 20—it'll make it equally a title update and you don't deliver to do anything fancy to get at it. It's a fastidious and squatty update for a game that was already very good at found. "Vermintide 2's combat and level design are so feverishly fun that I'll put up with its pretty matchmaking and RPG forward motion if it means chopping more ratmen in half," Steven wrote in his critical review.
