Warhammer co-op game Vermintide 2 has added its third premium career track. Developer Fatshark announced today that wood elf Kerillian will get the new Sister of the Thorn career in a DLC that is available for purchase now on Steam.

Like the Grail Knight career for Markus Kruber and the Outcast Engineer career for Bardin Goreksson, Kerillian's new Sister of the Thorn DLC adds new abilities, weapon types, and talents. It also features all-new voice lines for Kerillian, a new character skin, new challenges to complete - and of course, a new hat. Her new weapons include the Briar Javelin and Deepwood Staff, which both come in handy in run-ins with Skaven and Beastmen.

"Kerillian will use magic in a greater way than ever before and will not pull any magical punches towards any enemies she encounters," Fatshark says. "The Sister of the Thorn is the perfect member of any team as she brings the heaviest support of all careers in the game."
