Warhammer Vermintide 2’s New Patch Brings Double XP
A new patch brings “small” changes to the game alongside a double XP weekend event. Come see what’s new for Vermintide 2 this weekend.
Vermintide 2’s community challenge continues apace this weekend, as players can earn Double the XP. And what’s more, if they answer the developer’s call to free the Reikland by slaying 500,000,000 Skaven, Norscans, or Beastmen by the end of April, then May will kick off with triple XP.
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 (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!
