Do any other weapons besides Saltzpyre's rapier n' pistol use the "weapon special"?

Where do you guys recommend making the first difficult level jump? Around 200ish it feels too punishing increasing from recruit, but I might just be bad.

Can you do recruit fine and do you want it a little harder? I would say you could do it fine depending how you answer that. I think you only need total hero power at 100 to join veteran games and the teammates will be slightly better than those in recruit games.

I would say the fastest exp would be from recruit if you ignore the completion chests capping at power level 100. You can still get power upgrades from commendation chests and crafting. I'm not sure if your power drops upgrade on their own by how many games you play or it levels up when you get the items themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if you can get power level 300 items solely from the boxes from leveling up and just level up all your characters and ignoring champion difficulty.

Yeah, I can cruise through recruit no matter how many pubs I have to carry, and wanted some more challenge. Those same pubs turn into millstones around my neck on veteran though.

So, heads up: if you're on a recent AMD card (I'm using an RX480 but a guy using a Vega 64 on reddit reports the same issue), the "game ready" 18.3.1 driver for Vermintide 2 actually causes an issue. Specifically, on the Festering Grove mission the entire screen will go black. The only way that I've found to fix it is to exit the game completely. 18.2.3 was not doing this, and I've done a clean install via DDU to try to eliminate that possibility.

So... avoid the latest driver for now, I guess.

Parts of the tutorial prologue and random bits of the caves in that mission have made this happen on my nvidia card--it depends where I am and where I'm facing

Can someone explain to me what exactly Ranger Kruber's special ability does? Does it make him invisible and untargetable for the duration and grant some crit bonus on attack? Not entirely sure what it does.

Kruber's ability functionally just throws down a aura of guaranteed critical hits and also gives him personally infinite ammo for the duration of the ability. (The aura is extremely small. Like, the size of the chest totem at Taal's keep small.) It also turns his screen hazy and makes it a little hard to see while increasing the bass of his GUN dramatically for some reason. You are still incredibly targetable for the duration. It also increases reload speed, I believe.

Bardin's ranger special makes him invisible, though doesn't have the crit aura.

All the achievements got added, but there may be more. Nothing is very unique or specific right now, and there's only 26.

The only difficulty related one is to complete Skittergate on all the difficulties, which I guess is the last level.

A friend did some testing;

Crit chance! 5% base, it seems all (elf, probably slayer too) double weapons have an additional +10% for free. Careers that say they increase crit chance seems to be a flat 5%. Combined with the talent that's just 25% for all your "get heals off crits" pleasure.

It seems to be bugged at the moment. It was doing them before, usually some variant of yelling a dwarf deity's name.

It was largely Nurgle, Khorne and Archaon.

But we can more or less blame Teclis for Chaos getting as far as it did, cause he sabotaged Middenhiem by stealing the flame of Ulric thus allowing them to take the city before allies arrived. And this also allowed Chaos access to the world ending device. Mannfred then takes the blame from there as he kills Gelt and Teclis before they can turn off the World ending device.

We can then further blame Lilieth the Elf god for lying to Teclis about what he has to do, which causes him start a chain of events that results in MIddenhiem falling.

Oh yeah. But most of the bad stuff that I personally don't like is a result of that Elf God lying to Teclis. Which causes him to let Malekith murder the Phoenix king, Set Malekith up as King, Allows Tryions Daughter and future Everqueen to be sacrificed by Mannfred and Arkhan to revive Nagash (Which along with the Malekith thing alienates Tyrion and causes him to become the Avatar of Khaine.) he then destroyed the magical vortex keeping the world from being flooded with even more Daemons, which destroyed Ulthuan in the process. After Tryion was killed trying to kill Malekith he stole Ulric Flame to revive Tyrion and empower him with the power he stole from the Vortex. (Which resulted in Ulric's death and the conquest of Middenhiem.) And it was revealed he did this stuff because the Elf God told him it was the only way to beat Chaos but she was lying to him.

This was all stuff I hated in the End Times and what led to the end of the world.

Maybe had they won that would be true.

Also no she lied super hard as she never had any intention of winning and was planning on using the Elves as a distraction. The better plan would have been to support the Empire and stop the Hordes of Chaos from getting through Kislev.

There's kind of no point discussing what anyone should have done in the End Times since the outcome was right in the name.

Though it's pretty hilarious that even in their supposed 'we just get to win forever' stupid story Chaos only wins because a bunch of people do stupid poo poo at the last minute, not because it did anything clever or well.

Storm of Chaos is more or less the End Times if the Elf Goddess had not lied to Teclis. Meaning that Middenhiem stopped Archaon and his forces were driven away after Grimgor came and headbutted him.

Greenskins I feel like you'd have savage orcs be the chaff or just low-level boyz, obviously black orcs are gonna be your stormvermin stand-in, night goblins would probably be your specials to a part.

That's probably a pretty safe "No" at least, AoS has only really become "Okay" as a wargame and people still near unanimously dislike the setting.

the owner of fatshark is also well on record for being a gigantic fan of warhammer fantasy, but he aggressively refuses to say anything in public about AoS (which means he hates it and doesn't want to endanger his working relationship with games workshop).

also, i'm gonna be sad when they fix the voice bugs for characters' career actives. saltzpyre going full judge death when he pulls his magnum in BH mode really sells it.
