Welcome to another developer update.

It’s a short week this week and next, with folks enjoying time out of the ‘office’ to celebrate the season and taking a long weekend. Since we’re working from home, perhaps it just means switching Steam accounts and playing some new releases, or hanging out in the garden with a cold brew. Maybe building legos with the baby sharks (doo doo doo doo doo doo) or learning a new skill, like lock picking, or baking, or something in between. Whatever we’re up to, we hope you have a nice long weekend as well, doing whatever you put your minds to.



[h2]Double the XP, double the glory![/h2]
Right now, in Vermintide 2, we’ve got Double XP up and running again! This is a bonus weekend and will be running until Tuesday April the 14th. A great time to level your Krubers (seriously, why is he the least picked hero? Sort it out people! He’s a BATTERING RAM!).

Stay home. Stay safe. Level up!



[h2]Community Event[/h2]
We wanted to announce a new community event this week, but due to the shorter week and some unprecedented hitches (largely due to partners and collaborators also feeling the pressures of ‘working from home’, we’re not quite in the spot we wanted to be in to make that a reality. We’re going to do all we can to get that up and running next week however, and will share more news with you when we’re ready to put that live.

[h2]Deathwing X Vermintide 2[/h2]
Right now we’re coop-ing with Focus Home Interactive and anyone who owns Vermintide 2 can avail of a deep discount on Space Hulk: Deathwing

We've just enabled Double XP in celebration of the long weekend. We hope you're all keeping safe and socialising in responsible ways. So rally the troops and why not smash a few ratmen in the face?



Right now, the developers have invaded the Quick Play queues on all platforms, so pop in and see if you can catch a Shark out of water!

Welcome to another Developer Update! We’re still all working from home for the time being. We’re getting to know our new co-workers as we interfere with their normal operating procedures and invade their normal working environments.



This week some folks expected an April Fool gag from us, as would be tradition, but we decided that in keeping with the general sentiment that now is not the time for fake news, we would hold off. It’s something we can keep in our pocket for next year all the same, and we’ve had plenty of giggles in the past with some light hearted pranks, some of which ended up being true, either through implementation by the team (in the case of Bar Brawl) or through the hard work of modders like Grimalackt and Zaphio (Deathwish and Mute Kerillian, respectively). If you want a reminder of all our past Vermingags, then look no further:

At the moment, we’re busy working away on some of the final steps for us to be able to reveal details on Season 3 and what’s to come. We’ve also been working to bring you something a bit different to keep you all busy whilst you may be stuck in the house, and hope to be able to show you all of that in the next developer update.

Keeping with (recent) tradition, at 2pm UT today (that's.. right now!) the Sharks will be invading the Quick Play queues in Vermintide 2. We’ll cover all platforms so look out for those Shark teeth portrait frames. We’re likely to be found in various difficulties as we’re sharks of varying capabilities!



That's it from us. Not a juicy one this week, but soon no doubt!

Take care!

/Team Fatshark

Thanks for checking out this week's developer post. We don't have a huge deal to share this week. We've been thrilled with your reactions to the latest and last Chapter in the Curse of Drachenfels adventure for Vermintide 2, and hope that Nurgloth isn't being too mean to the Quickplay PUB runs out there!

Given most of us are being told to stay inside right now and limit physical interactions with society, we have doubled all XP gains once again and will keep that going until March 29th.



Also, today at 4pm CET the developers will be invading the lobbies of Vermintide 2, so it's a great time to jump in-game, grab some levels or more commendation chests, and hang out with the crew as they work from home (and of course play from home!). We look forward to hanging out and pushing back against the End Times with you.
