One of many! Our in-house lore expert has spent a lot of time researching, investigating and brainstorming different hat concepts. While we had his attention we also took the opportunity to ask him a couple of questions regarding hats. You can read the interview further down.If you have any questions related to cosmetics, lore, or tips about any specific hats you want us to look at, hit us up below!
This hat concept is for Slayer Bardin. One of the most important aspects of being a Slayer is showing off your mohawk, and this tricorn hat makes sure that the mohawk can peak through. This particular concept* is based on... Read more

Heroes! From now until 23:59 CEST tonight we're tripling all experience gains for all heroes! That's 24 hours of TRIPLE XP! You earned it. You might have put to rest half a billion pactswarn this past two weeks, but the tide never relents. Have fun, and see you in the lobbies!

Congratulations, Heroes! With 5 hours and 30 minutes remaining, you hit the target of 500,000,000! That’s half a billion (and there would be countless more if we included all the failed missions)! There were some worried faces at various points throughout this challenge — concerned that they thought this wouldn’t be toppled, but you prove time and time again that you’re capable of any challenge we throw at you (and then some)!https://www.vermintide.com/counterThe portrait frame will be distributed in the next patch.

Heroes, Welcome to another development update. Community Challenge News You’re on to the 8th day of the Community Challenge, around 57% through the allotted time, and you’re around 56% through the required kills. When we set out we wanted this to be somewhere between a ‘safe’ and ‘nail-biting’ challenge. Right now, however, we’re out of nails and we’re chewing on fingers. We’re hoping this bonus length double XP weekend and the promise of a bonus triple XP day for completing the challenge is enough to tip the scales! Now get slaying! (but first, check out the rest of this Developer Update of course!) Cosmetic in Concept This week we want to show you a work in progress of a premium cosmetic item we’re working on. One of many, this hat is looking perfect for Huntsman Kruber. This concept is as mentioned a work in progress and can change during development, as well as sometimes work in progress items can be pulled from production for various reasons. But we wanted to share this with you... Read more

Heroes!
At 2pm UTC today we have enabled Double XP for all players, on all platforms, for all games! Now's a great time to stay home, level up, and help us all Play Apart Together. Don't forget we're also challenging you to slay 500,000,000 Skaven, Norscans or Beastmen[www.vermintide.com] (or any combination of flesh you meet, aside from your team mates...) before the end of play on April 30th and earn you and your hero friends a lovely new portrait frame exclusive to this event. As a bonus, we can also announce that should you beat the Community Challenge we'll also activate 24 hours TRIPLE XP on May 1st!For all the information this event, check our news post here:https://www.vermintide.com/news/stay-home-play-together-heroes-unite Read more

The Community Challenge is still ongoing and you can still join - it will be running until April 30th. With this challenge we wish to invite you as a community to come together and help the Reikland. So far your combined efforts have accumulated a staggering total 155,947,217 enemies defeated! It's horribly impressive. We just set the Tzeentchian Twins Weekly Event live, which for those who can handle it is a great way to bloat the stats! In this event enemies you dispatch will materialise in to two lesser enemies, and so on, until you're left with chaff to kill. You can find this on the mission screeen in the Keep (press M). Play Apart Together. Fill the bar by defeating Skaven, Rotblood, and Beastmen in Warhammer: Vermintide 2 and be rewarded with a new portrait frame.

Crown of Purity We recently updated the event page on our website with news of which charity the proceeds for all sales of the 'Crown of Purity' will be donated to, and you can find out more about that here:

Heroes!
Welcome to a relatively short Developer Update. We’ve been busy putting the Community Event live this week, where you've been tasked to slay 500,000,000 pactsworn over roughly 14 days. It’s a fairly big ask and so far you’re a little bit behind the curve! Step it up and earn a sweet portrait frame for everyone!We put a great deal of science into coming up with the perfect number. We had to factor in telemetry from the past, as well as predictions based on the current situation and the days in which the event would be running. Take into account a great deal of factors, and then add a certain % on top to come up with the perfect goal of 500,000,000 in 14 days. We believe you can do it! There are also some particular rules we didn’t fully explain in some of our earlier messages around this event!

• Only Official Realm matches count. We aren’t counting player spawned units or runs completed on the modded realm.
  
• Weaves count!
  
• Only Wins count! That’s right, only matches that end in s...

Heroes, During the past weeks the Sharks have been working from home, and in an earlier Developer Update[www.vermintide.com] we went into lengths about what these changes meant for the Sharks and the entire office. Staying at home can be a challenge and the Sharks are helping each other with new ideas to stay inspired. This community event was born from such an idea, and we hope that you will join us in this new endeavour. Stay Home. Play Together. Heroes Unite. Together we can make a difference. Between the 15th and 30th of April we are inviting you to take part in a community challenge. Buy a new Hat - Support Charity All profits* made from ‘Crown of Purity’ will be donated to charity. This premium cosmetic will be available for purchase in Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders and Steam, and all profits* made will be donated to charity responding to COVID-19.

Heroes! 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. Double the XP, double the glory! 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! Community Event We wanted to announce a new community event this week, but ... Read more

Heroes! 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!

Heroes! 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:2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J_19J3257A2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9Pe7fp0qs2017: https://www.youtube.com/...

Heroes! 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. Read more

Heroes, You can now play the third and final Chapter of the Curse of Drachenfels, Enchanter’s Lair on PC.

Heroes, Welcome to another Developer Update. First we want to announce that this weekend as of now until Monday around midday UTC, we have doubled all XP gains for players on all platforms!As a studio this past week has been taxing beyond belief. Sending home around 100 people on short notice presents a unique set of challenges that we’ve never had to face until now. The first challenge is one of ‘understanding’. Having the sharks understand why these changes are happening gives the process of shipping them home a head start and thankfully this wasn’t a problem. Logistically there have been heaps of challenges that our IT team can no doubt attest to. Every shark needs to be equipped with hardware and software in order to do their daily duties. Every shark needs a different set up. Some sharks have capable PCs at home that can be repurposed from entertainment and home use and turned into workhorses. Some aren’t equipped in their home office to do their nine-to-five, so IT has been orde... Read more

Peace and quiet is now settling over Taal’s Horn Keep… Who are we kidding, there are plenty of vermin left to take care of. Before you set out for your next mission we wanted to take a moment to remind you to look after each other, take care and stay safe. At the moment all Sharks have been recommended to work from home. This extra measure does not affect produtction or future releases, and we will keep you informed if anything changes. The Curse of Drachenfels - Chapter 3 is coming on March 24 The final chapter of the Curse of Drachenfels update is coming to PC on March 24. This update is part of Season 2 and is free for all owners of Warhammer: Vermintide 2, and consists of 3 new missions in total; Old Haunts, Blood in Darkness and Enchanter’s Lair.
