Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is free to keep forever on Steam, as long as you're quick about it

It's been 10 years since Fatshark's Warhammer Tide years kicked off, starting with Warhammer: End times - Vermintide, and to celebrate that anniversary the developer has been offering up various in-game events and updates in both Vermintide 2 and Darktide. Earlier this week Vermintide 2 received a free new level, a point we'll come back to, but the big thing you should know first is that you can pick up the co-op dark fantasy game for free on Steam right now, and keep it forever.

That's right, you can get your hands on this Skaven-smashing, Chaos-crashing masterpiece without having to spend a thing.
