Your slaughter pleases the Blood God.

The Ruinous Powers are strong and even the most resilient of minds can find themselves falling into the chaos-influenced blood lust, craving ravenous slaughter. An inscrutable rage pulsates within the soul of mortals and it seems infinite, only more skulls and death seems to satiate the urge.



During the event Taal’s Horn Keep is swarming in skulls to be sacrificed to the Blood God.

Got any skulls?

During the Skulls for the Skull Throne event you can earn time-limited loot, such as a new portrait frame and new paintings. Sacrifice enough skulls and it shall be yours.

Vermintide 2 - Patch 1.6.1



Heroes!


It's another week, and today we're updating Vermintide 2 with a new set of Weekly Events as well as a few fixes and tweaks.


  • Added 4 new Weekly Events (new Event goes live at 14:00 CEST)
  • Fixed a situation that can arise when a client leaves a hosted session and for a brief window is still seen as part of the hosted session, whilst also being host of their own session, causing some unusual side effects.
  • Fixed an issue where the flames from Bardin's Drakefire weapon sometimes never disappeared.
  • Blood splatter VFX can now be turned of completely if so desired.
