Vermintide 2’s Necromancer Raises A New Hotfix
Necromantic power is yours in Vermintide 2, and more recently, a new hotfix that deals with the unimaginable power of undeath.
Vermintide 2 is still kicking. The End Times are still encroaching on the Old World. And despite the unstoppable tide of Vermin, it seems our heroes have unlocked even more power. You’ve seen by now Sienna’s descent into the dark arts of Necromancy.
But alongside that, a new hotfix that helps the game work better on Twitch, keeps Sienna’s dark power from breaking the game, and addresses a host of other things. Let’s take a look!
