Heroes!
The second installment in the Verminous Dreams campaign, ‘Devious Delvings’, is out now, free for all owners of Vermintide 2!
Devious Delvings
Having infiltrated the Skaven-infested ruins of the mythical Athel Lithri, our Heroes must now investigate the site to find out what it is that the verminous Pactsworn are scheming. The devastation and machinery suggest a massive project, but what are they after in this temple of all places?Well, either way, better get to the bottom of it and smash every rat that comes your way. And the ones that don’t, too, for good measure (Saltzpyre agrees).
Just like the previous maps, Devious Delvings comes with its own set of Okri’s Challenges and rewards, such as a portrait frame and paintings!
Versus: Custom Game Settings
And for the Pactsworn enthusiasts, we’ve got an exciting new addition! When creating a player-hosted custom game, the host now has a suite of adjustable settings to tweak and modify how the match will play out! You can take the opportunity to make things super crazy, or to make your own competitive changes!
Some examples of the settings you can find in Custom Games:
- Early Win toggle
- Hero Bots toggle
- Friendly Fire toggle
- Number of Hero Wounds
- Knocked down Hero health
- Horde Ability charge rate
- Pactsworn respawn timer
- Pactsworn Catch up with Hero distance
- Spawn distance from Heroes
- Pactsworn Health
- …And more!
On top of those and every other setting being added with this update, we plan on hopefully expanding that list with more and more settings as time goes on! Feel free to give us your own suggestions for settings you’d like to tinker with in Custom Games!
In the lobby browser, games that are playing with rules different from the default ones we use in Quickplay Servers will be flagged as having a modified ruleset.
Developer Stream today - 17:00 CEST - twitch.tv/fatsharkgames

Without further ado…
Patch 6.3.0 patch notes
Features & Tweaks
- Added a new map, 'Devious Delvings', as the second mission in the Verminous Dreams campaign. [list]
- Mission comes with its own set of Okri's challenges and rewards as usual, including shillings, a portrait frame and two paintings.
Fixes
- Fixed the sanctioned mod 'Neuter Ult Effects' crashing in official realm if mods it depends on fail to load.
- Fixed a bug where Kruber could never thank Kerillian for healing him. Listen, it was embarrassing, okay?
- Fixed a bug where players could upgrade weapons to Veteran quality before level 30 in certain menus.
- Fixed Weave bots not using cosmetics from the selected bot Loadout.
- Fixed a bug with the icons on Versus weapons not resetting when removing applied illusions.
- Fixed a bug where floating hats appeared in various menus when being in the Versus Keep. I bet that was Olesya trying to lure Kruber somewhere.
- (Versus) Fixed a bug where the "Easy Meat - Kill a hoisted hero" challenge was obtainable if the killed player was hoisted at any point during the round, not just if the player is hoisted when killed.
- (Versus) Fixed a bug where the "Not so Fast! - Disable a Hero that is Reviving another Hero" challenge was obtainable by simply disabling any hero, regardless if they are reviving or not.
- Fixed some mistakes with the German localization.
- Fixed an issue where hero skins that overwrite hats would still take texture changes from said hat, if applicable (Notably, Slayer head cosmetics changing tattoos and skin)
- Fixed the model of a rapier illusion having a gap between the blade and the hilt.
- (Versus) Fixed a bug where controller sensitivity would be reset to default after each round.
- Fixed wonky UI behaviour after deleting a loadout.
- Fixed the Huntsman talent "Makin' it look easy" icon not being colored on the HUD.
- Fixed the name of a bundle in Lohner's Emporium spilling out of place.
- (Versus) Fixed an issue where the matchmaking UI would show 'N/A' when Quickplaying while in a party.
