Vermintide 2 Turns 4, Drops Big Update
Warhammer Vermintide 2 turned 4 earlier, and with it they dropped Update 4.6 with a new batch of fixes, cosmetics and more.
Warhammer Vermintide 2 turns 4 last week. Four years of fighting skaven, four years of quests and expansions–it’s a lot for the four player co-op brawlfest. And four years on, the devs keep it going and growing.
Today we got a look at Patch 4.6, an update that brings a plethora of new features and fixes. There’s a lot to dig into, including new Grudge Marks, UI improvements, and then some. Let’s check it out.
Vermintide 2 Update 4.6 – Overview
First things first, the most noticeable thing is that the UI has been unified. A single menu system for all players and platforms, making it easier for new updates to be implemented. But then on top of that, it’s easier than ever to manage your inventory, careers, and more.
Although the most important change might be the Social Wheel Emotes so that you can praise the sun.
You can find a full list of the patch notes here.
Sister of the Thorn
One of the biggest changes though, is the rework of the Sister of the Thorn. It’s been revamped to have a “stronger thematic role in combat” while leaning in on the promise of the Sister of the Thorn.
