-
Minimum and maximum power level for items in chests and crafting increase by one for every level above 30 (added across all characters), before limiting it to its original max value.
-
Increasing the minimum means that at a certain level, all items are guaranteed to be max power.
-
Increasing the maximum and then reducing it to the cap means that you are more likely to roll a maximum power item as you increase levels, even before your minimum power gets high enough to be equal to the cap.
-
- Enabled the Gifts of the Wolf Father advent calendar! Log in every day and check the calendar to unlock gifts!
- Purchasing a DLC while in the keep now requires a game restart.
Fixes
- Fixed an UI issue where Shillings and Helmgart Sellsword Marks would overlap with the store interface when looking for a match.
- Fixed an issue causing Saltzpyre’s animation to not take a cool step forward when shooting the rapier’s pistol. Now he does his fancy move again!
- Fixed a bug where Bardin could sometimes respond with a Kerillian voice line when Victor gets knocked down too many times
Upcoming playable monster: Rat Ogre – December 17
Coming December 17th: the Pactsworn are going to get another fun toy to torment the Hero team: The Rat Ogre will be a playable monster before the end of the year!
Gifts of the Wolf Father
How it works: Starting today and until January 3rd, every day you jump on Vermintide 2, you can access Lohner’s Emporium to claim that day’s Gift*. There’ll be cosmetics, illusions, coins, frames, and all sorts of goodies!
There might even be a very, very special hat that makes its long-awaited, fishy return!
