Warhammer: Vermintide 2‘s second chunk of DLC – Back To Ubersreik – is out now, bringing players back to the besieged and rat-infested city from the first game. The heroes were dramatically driven out of town in the first Vermintide’s last bit of free DLC, so it ought to be attention-grabbing to see the outdated stone partitions given a contemporary lick of paint, and a few new rats to blat. Back To Ubersreik incorporates three remastered missions from the unique game, although Fatshark tease that “There might be more content…” – curious. A not-too-ratty launch trailer scurries round beneath.
Mysterious hints at darkish secrets and techniques and extras to uncover have my consideration, however for essentially the most half this DLC is simply three outdated ranges restocked with Vermintide 2’s new enemies, together with these Chaos gits. Players will be capable to delve again into the Horn Of Magnus, Gardens Of Morr and Engines Of War missions, and a bundle of latest quests and challenges. Naturally there’s some new loot to be present in right here as properly – a bunch of latest weapons, plus some fancy phantasm weapon-skins. Good stuff for folk who began on the second game, however maybe a bit too acquainted for returning gamers.
Vermintide 2 has been getting round this yr. It’s even infested our big advent calendar, digging deep into the December 8th door and possibly consuming no matter goodies we had stashed in there. We’ll forgive it, although, because it’s a beautiful little bit of co-op hack n’ slashery. Its central format is lifted principally wholesale from Left 4 Dead, however its chunky firearms, crossbows and heavy melee assaults have much more oomph than any gun I can consider in Valve’s co-op zombie mash. Plus, the jabbering lunatic Skaven are much more entertaining to bash than any shambling corpse.
Sadly, it’s not all excellent news, although. While for Vermintide 1 and the sequel’s first growth – Shadows over Bögenhafen – Fatshark have been beneficiant sufficient to let individuals be part of un-owned DLC missions without cost by matchmaking. The same system to Payday 2. According to their update patch notes, that modifications right this moment for Vermintide 2, and as a way to play these new maps you’ll both need to pony up for them, or invite a pal who does personal them to your hold. This retroactively impacts the Shadows over Bögenhafen missions too, which is a bit garbage.
The Back To Ubersreik DLC is out now on Steam for £7/€8/$10. You can discover the full patch notes here.
