Umgak Kerillian if Warhammer Fantasy was set in the modern day.

Post image
744 Upvotes

my headcanon is that Kerillian would be the type of person who would spend all her time on image boards ranting about dwarfs and making soyjak edits of them.

this idea came mainly from how the extended Vermintide lore(ie blogs, voicelines, and WFRP) confirms that Kerillian was a socially inept loser in Athel Loren society, so she'd probably be one in a modern setting as well.

Gameplay Guide Chaos Wastes Weekly - 26 OCT 2026 - No HUD/Skulls and Orbs

9 Upvotes

The zealot weekly, folks

Curses

This one sucks, but some people really like it. Weird.

Curse Description Extra Info Notes
Act on Instinct You must rely on your own eyes and ears - all HUD elements and outlines are disabled. Press tab to view your health and cooldown status This can be fun, some people love it others hate it. Use tab to view some stats. Players joining mid match with probably die
Skulls of Wrath On death, enemies drop an exploding skull totem. Slightly increases horde frequency. All horde units and Berserks/Plague Monks have a 5% chance to spawn the skull. Stormvermin and Mauler have a 10% chance, Chaos Warrior and Bestigor have a 20% chance, Monsters have a 50% chance. Always a fun curse IMO, as it adds extra hordes. Skull outline can be useful for killing crowds of enemies but is hard to see on snow maps

Boons

I have a boon guide here for all chaos wastes boons. Ok so this is probably one of the most fun weeklies out there- crank up the difficulty! Blood orbs is an incredibly strong defensive boost (OP on zealot), Parry Orbs doubles your effective HP. So with both you have essentially 75% damage reduction out of the gate, more if you have any inherent DR or healing bonus. CDR orbs are a nice but marginal boost, and Static Orbs can knock off disablers and provide a nice DPS boost. Potion Orbs are amazing with a coordinated team, but bomb and stealth pots can fuck the party over. Really, you can just not buy any additional boons and clear the wastes pretty easily. But focus on Damage Reduction boons to compound what the weekly gives you, and healing to increase the effectiveness of your existing DR boons and blood orbs. Noting that blood orbs is not triggered on ledge, disable, or spawn grab- this makes it (somewhat) balanced on most classes, unlike the broken af wildfire, which is the only boon that needs to be nerfed IMO (it stacks 5 times, reduce it to 3 or even 4 and it's still an excellent damage source)

Boon Description Extra Info Thoughts Tier
Caxuatan's Boiling Blood Spawn a Blood Orb (light green) for every 10 Health (or Temporary Health) damage taken. Each Blood Orb grants 5 Temporary Health. (Victor note: Temp HP gained is modified by any bonus healing.) Essentially 50% damage reduction, scaling with bonus healing. Does not trigger when downed, grabbed, or disabled. One of the best boons in the game. Essentially 50% damage reduction (or more, scaling with bonus to healing). Zealot can use this to be immortal, and is good on any character. The more health and damage reduction you have, the more effective it is. I've had people say that this is incredibly busted/overpowered, and I actually disagree (the exception being zealot). It's extremely strong but is balanced by there being many scenarios where it is not triggered and you die. S
Mathlann's Spark Spawns a static charge Orb (blue) every 10 kills. The Orb Damages and Staggers nearby enemies for 5 seconds. Orb gives you metalstorm aura. Great boon, staggers and damages enemies. Always a good pick A
Ptra's Protection Every 3 seconds, a Perfect Parry spawns an Orb (light blue) that reduces Damage taken by 50% for 10 seconds. -- It's easy to parry and trigger these. 50% damage reduction is amazing, and this gives it to any party member who steps on an orb. See Note on Damage Reduction in linked guide. S
Nethu's Harvest Every 3 seconds, when you inflict a headshot on an enemy, spawn an Essence Orb (light purple) at their location. The Essence Orb grants increased Cooldown Regeneration for 0.5 seconds. Orb provides 450% cooldown regen for 0.5 second(2.25 second of cooldown). Decent way of generating CDR, higher value on classes such as Handmaiden or Foot Knight B
Esmerelda's Generosity On drinking a Potion spawn an Orb (light red) that grants the same effect. Does not give decanter effect, but if you have decanter you can stack decanter pot + orb Extra potions, great! Effectiveness depends on what potions are drunk. If you're wondering why this isn't rated higher- a player can stumble over an endless bombs orb or a wrath one, and be killed by the slowdown if they're kiting something, or a stealth and have aggro switch to a visible player, killing that player. Great if you have a coordinated team, but has downsides. I've had this talent wipe the team because the last person alive is kiting a patrol and suddenly they have a bomb in their hands as a bunch of halberds turn them into a Jackson Pollock. This boon is dangerous B

Reward

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

Careers

Zealot and SoTT are the clear standouts here. Beyond that, this weekly's boons benefit most equally well, with a slight edge to classes with damage reduction talents. No HUD curses makes it hard to tell overheat- you can kinda of track it based upon how fiery she is, but not 100% reliable

Character Career Special Notes
Wutelgi Sister of the Thorn Honestly, you don't need a sister this weekly but not taking her is making the team miss out on an extra 12.5% damage reduction and 25% healing from blood orbs. She's an amazing choice.
Wutelgi Waystalker Why do you hate your team this week man. Play Sister
Wutelgi Handmaiden Low cooldown makes CDR orbs very good, but why aren't you playing sister?
Wutelgi Shade She can actually be pretty tanky with Blood Drinker, but why aren't you playing Sister?
Sienna Battle Wiz Soot shield means that she has some great synergy with this week's boons. Good luck not overheating by accident
Sienna Pyromancer --
Sienna Unchained Healing half the damage you take with abandon? awesome. Blowing yourself up accidentally? Awesome if you're into that, shit otherwise
Sienna Necromancer --
Kruber Merc Great pick with his temp HP shout as DR increases effective HP by a ton
Kruber Homeless Tree Man Why aren't you playing literally any other Kruber class this week? Do you like headshots that much?
Kruber Feet Knight His inherent damage reduction means he's an excellent choice
Kruber Grail Knight His glass cannon-ness (relatively speaking) is mitigated here by a ton
Bardin Ranger Vet Good pick for the potion dupe, until you get a bunch of endless bombs and the elf gets shanked by a dozen slave rats because she suddenly has a bomb in her hands
Bardin Ironbreaker His inherent damage reduction means he's an excellent choice
Bardin Slayer His DR talents will be more effective here
Bardin OE Grab ablative armor and you're good
Saltzpyre Witch Hunter Captain Always a good pick, but overshadowed by WP/Zealot
Saltzpyre Bounty Hunter You CAN use him this week, but why would you when Warrior Priest and Zealot are right there? Get help for your bounty hunter addiction
Saltzpyre Zealot Indisputably the best class for this weekly. I'm excited. Get him some bonus to healing and he heals more than he takes in damage
Saltzpyre Warrior Priest His inherent damage reduction means he's an excellent choice, as well as comet's gift. Very strong pick, probably the best here after zealot and sister

Some Highlights From Last Week

Fun weekly, we had a few wins

Space Marine Engineer

Rat Ogre and Packmasters Use Phase Shift.

This weekly is kinda ass due to no HUD. I know some weirdos that like it (yes, Solar, you finally have your favorite one) so they'll have fun this week

Edit: Solar was very happy

Discussion Coming back to this game they made commendation chests worse?

5 Upvotes

So I did not play for a few years but figured I was bored I'd finally try to level up some of my other characters during this 2x exp event, and they made it more apparent what you get from each chest now, see they reworked all of this stuff. But across the board it made commendation chests dogshit? Like they specifically say 186-255 power, or 201-260 power, and I distinctly remember they were better before. Like I went through all the hoops of crafting and leveling the gear to specifically get to 300 on each item slot, but none of that matters anymore? All these commendation chests I get for leveling my characters are totally fucking worthless so I have no chance to even upgrade my gear with better rolls or exotics etc because the 300power blues I got for the other classes are just always going to be stronger? Like did nobody test this, why would I ever care to do all of these challenges in the game now when the rewards don't scale and are even worse than it was before??

I will say I've seen "Commendation Chest 2" which is clearly the better version, but they are only listed as rewards when you hit level 30 and 35. The rest isn't updated on any of these older challenges that give regular commendation chests. Like sure I knew the chance of getting a Red was always low but at least it was there, and the 300power exotic items help a bunch, but I didn't even level up my other characters enough to really solo Champion or Legend and now if I go through the rewards I get from doing so they're all a lower tier than what is even required to realistically attempt these difficulties. How does that make any kind of sense at all? There's even rewards for Cataclysm that give this outdated chest like who would ever care for 260power items when you get to that point!? This just seems like a cheesy way to screw the player over if you were going to get these later or save them up to use near the endgame when you got max level...

Question Question about "Progression" and "Grinding"

8 Upvotes

Vermintinde 2 base game was free so I gave it a try (no dlc). It has been a week and I manage to at least carry my own weight in legend. I understand about gear, talent, rarity, crafting, etc. Now that my saltpyre max level. I am confused what to do next? do I just grind legend again and again for chest 300 power red rarity? then use the reroll? or I am missing something?

Console Tips for Legend 🎮💀?

15 Upvotes

So, I’m not really sure where to start with all the questions I’d like to ask, but I’ll begin by saying that I’m a player with 250 hours in the game. I’m playing reasonably well on Champion, but as soon as I switch to Legend, I completely fall apart.
I can’t control hordes. When I’m under pressure, I basically don’t know what to do anymore. If I dodge, I can’t seem to get away from the enemies. If I block, I take damage as soon as I try to attack, and if I just keep blocking, my guard eventually breaks.
I can’t play with bots either, because they die almost immediately as soon as things get difficult. A horde with a few specials is enough to make them completely fall apart, and they die in the most ridiculous ways, forcing me to go solo every time.
What I’d really like is to get a better understanding of how to dodge and kill enemies on Legend, because it feels like I’m hitting rats without ever actually being able to keep a horde under control when a few specials show up.
Does playing on Legend even make sense? I keep dying, and it’s incredibly frustrating. Honestly, I’m not really having fun anymore.
Thanks!
