Beyond the new evil folk, the existing Skaven forces have also seen their ranks refreshed with new, shield-bearing Stormvermin units and a warp-cannon wielding Rat Ogre that is among one of the deadliest enemies you’ll ever face. The upshot of this, is that players now find themselves facing down a variety of new, terrifying enemies such as the thickly armor-plated Chaos Warriors and massively powerful Chaos Seers for starters. Speaking of the AI, Vemintide 2 supplements the Skaven forces, which were the exclusive aggressors of the previous game, with the all Chaos faction. The new career system makes concentrating on a particular class/character much more worthwhile. No longer leaving you to die and proactively aggressive in both their pathfinding and ability to complete objectives, the quality of the bots in Vermintide 2 makes the prospect of a largely AI team a tenable scenario, rather than a dreaded one. If the fair weather incompetence of the AI bots in the original had you groaning whenever there were insufficient flesh and blood bods were available to fill your team, then the much more capable AI players which staff up the ranks in Vermintide 2’s missions prove to be a boon to say the least. Sure enough as before, the white, green, blue, purple and orange tiers all return, but the upshot of having this power rating is that players can actually spend far longer in a particular tier of gear than in the first game and still get that better gear far more often as a result. In a manner similar to the Destiny games, gear in Vermintide 2 is awarded a power rating that reflects its capability, while a range of additional buffs and status effects can improve such equipment further. The brand new achievement system not only gives players more ways to play, but tons more loot too.īeyond the awarding of gear, the actual levelling and quality of the equipment you receive this time around has massively improved as well. Essentially then, you’ll end up with far more applicable loot than you ever did in the first game and that, friends, is a good thing. Rewarding additional chests for the completion of certain milestones, such as killing a number of elite enemies or even just crafting and collecting new pieces of gear, Vermintide 2 also boasts a new achievements system which not only bolsters the loot mechanics yet further still, but also encourage players to discover new ways to play the game. This is crucial as it is something which makes the loot system feel much more rewarding, rather than the infuriating crap shoot of the previous game which meant that it would often take an age, before you got your hands on good gear that you could actually use. Better yet, the quality of that loot you receive is directly affected by your performance and the difficulty of the mission you have completed.
