This theme appears inside the ale brewery in the Mission of Mercy mission in both V1 and V2 but I can’t find the name to the soundtrack. Does anyone know the name of it by chance?

Question Is Vermintide 1 worth buying?

15 Upvotes

Ive sunk a good amount of time into vermintide 2 and completed all the levels on cata and still yearn for more. How are the bots, how different is gameplay and is it worth playing through for different maps?

Suggestion How do you guys decide the best time to push, dodge and attack during a horde?

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am trying to become more consistent playing higher difficulties but my horde control is bad I feel like.

When I watch these true solo players they always seem to know the appropriate times to dodge, push and attack. It is hard to handle when there are a million enemies swinging stuff at me. I get damaged when I want to attack and I don't know how to keep track of too many enemies in front of me to dodge effectively etc. How do you guys handle this situation? If you have general suggestions or a guide you can recommend which helped you, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance, have a great day!

Edit: thanks a lot for the answers guys! Happy to see the community willing to help. I will try to digest and apply each suggestion in the comments slowly. I am grateful.

Discussion Is AFKing a thing in this game?

18 Upvotes

Ran into a necro player who just sat behind and watched me play, along with two bots. Then would sit way behind until forced to move up for any points that required all players. For context, this was on old haunts. It was incredibly strange behavior which I've never seen anyone else do, so I was just wondering.

Gameplay Guide Chaos Wastes Weekly - 19 OCT 2026 - Horde/Shadow Skull and Bombs

18 Upvotes

Bardin is happy again. The bomb weekly is back and absurdly overpowered

Curses

Skulls is an annoying curse, SITNW is very fun

Curse Description Extra Info Notes
Send in the next wave Increases frequency of hordes spawning -- Lot of fun
Shadow Skulls Vicious skulls spawn out of thin air. Destroy or avoid them or else be incapacitated. Spawn 3-5 homing skulls every 20-30 seconds. The skull has 3 HP, Infantry armor, it will die/despawn after taking enough damage/hitting a player or terrain. Being hit by the skull will take small damage and be stunned for 2.5 seconds. The stun effect cannot be resolved by teammates' attack/push. This is just a pain in the ass. At least you can jump to avoid the stun. Doesn't help when you are surrounded by a horde though.

Boons

I have a boon guide here for all chaos wastes boons. Just focus on bomb boons, not much else to say. Valaya's and Endless bombs can be used infinitely here. Kinda boring but effective in clearing the level.

Boon Description Extra Info Thoughts Tier
Bomb of Alchemical Alacrity Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 50% Attack Speed Has radius of 6 units. Removes Friendly Fire of all explosions from the owner. Great for burst damage vs boss, chest, or patrol A
Bomb of Alchemical Concentration Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 1000% Career Skill Cooldown rate. Has radius of 6 units. Removes Friendly Fire of all explosions from the owner. Easily get various ults up. Combine with valaya's brew and a bomb potion and you essentially have constant uptime for ults and bombs, it's totally broken. Your team will probably be very bored though, especially if you combine that with Morgrim's bomb. It's a combination so busted that I avoid it S
Bomb of Alchemical Lethality Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 100% Critical Strike Chance. Has radius of 6 units. Removes Friendly Fire of all explosions from the owner. Guaranteed crit here is both an excellent DPS boost and a trigger for various powerful talents and effects. Good boon S
Bomb of Alchemical Rejuvenation Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 2% healing per second Has radius of 6 units. Removes Friendly Fire of all explosions from the owner. Great buff, but I view attack speed, crit chance, and CDR bombs as more impactful. B
Bomb of Alchemical Strength Your Bombs consecrate the ground for 10 seconds on impact. Players within the consecrated ground gain 35% Power. Has radius of 6 units. Removes Friendly Fire of all explosions from the owner. Great buff, but I view attack speed, crit chance, and CDR bombs as more impactful. B

Reward

Recruit Veteran Champ Legend Cataclysm
5000xp Dual Axes of Bitter Dreams 2x Emperor's Vault 1 Red Dust Pain, suffering, and scoreboards

Careers

Not much to say here. OE and RV are the two classes with real boon synergy here, beyond that it's about equal.

Character Career Special Notes

Wutelgi Waystalker --
Wutelgi Handmaiden --

Kruber Merc --
Kruber Homeless Tree Man --

Bardin Ranger Vet The bomb class this week, you can easily solo with a RV and incendiary. Grab scavenger for bomb drops
Bardin Ironbreaker Why aren't you playing engi or RV?

Bardin OE The second bomb class. His crafted bombs are finally useful, alternatively grab bombardier talent.
Saltzpyre Witch Hunter Captain Bombs grant all crits for his passive ability
Saltzpyre Bounty Hunter --
Saltzpyre Zealot --
Saltzpyre Warrior Priest Just a solid class all around

Some Highlights From Last Week

Didn't play the weekly as it was the same as the one before but worse. Had a few decent clips but too busy to edit anything together. The one time we had any success I got a call from work and had to log off, like at that point imma wait til next week

Discussion I think I made my friend into a worse player

64 Upvotes

When I first introduced him to VT2 I did what friends do and I had his back, giving him healing, having his back and saving his sorry ass from the rats.

Now, 200-300h later, I think I've made him dependant on me as a safety net and now what do I do?

I can't just let him die and refuse him healing and rescues and safety for hours and hours of play, can I?

But as is there are no consequences to his mistakes because he can just get rescued every time and guzzle healing for four, get his blindspot and disablers covered by me, and even if he manages to die the mission succeeds.

It just hurts so bad to see him confidently push straight into a horde until he is snuggly enclosed by bodies as a ranged career just after a special pack has spawned.

Question Why do bots have to genuinely be so dumb

32 Upvotes

Genuinely i wanna know who made the decision to have bots be like this, because they probably shouldn't be calling the shots anymore. I lost a grim because my kerillian bot never followed me to the next area and just stood around until she was grabbed by a packmaster. Bots refuse to shoot specials that are right in front of them. They're horrible at everything, whats evene the point of making their ai so bad?

Question Hand of Shallya question

I've read that the Hand of Shallya necklace trait "clears any wounds". Does this mean it clears the wounds from everyone affected by the 20% heal?

Question THP talent question

7 Upvotes

Edit: I know Chain Reaction gives THP from Second Wind, I just don't know how to quantify it.

Does anyone know how much THP Unchained's Chain Reaction gives when used with Second Wind? I imagine the stagger scales with distance from explosion so it's hard to get proper numbers - so alternatively - is it a good pairing of talents when using coruscation staff to set hordes on fire, or with flame sword/dagger/flaming flail?

Also should I be using a different staff on unchained? I like the coruscation staff for helping to clear hordes, but it's probably pretty pointless with how much melee damage Unchained has anyway.

Also, does anyone have a link to a guide or anything that can help decide which THP talent is generally best on which weapons? I'm struggling to work it out for myself on some of them.
