Plan your next Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide session
Our independent guide breaks down Vermintide’s documented systems so you can refine tactics without relying on hidden mechanics. By focusing on team composition, weapon variety, level layout, and loot dice, you’ll gain clearer insight into how each element shapes the co‑operative experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hero Role Mapping
List each hero’s described personality and agenda. Identify which heroes lean toward melee, ranged, or support roles, then draft a balanced squad composition for your next session.
- Coordinate positioning so each hero can cover another’s blind spots.
- Maintain communication about enemy spawns to adapt quickly.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Contrast Test
Select two contrasting weapons for a single hero—one melee, one ranged. Play a short segment and note which enemy types each weapon handles best, then adjust loadouts accordingly.
- Read each hero’s brief description to match preferred combat roles.
- Discuss strengths before starting a level to plan coverage.
03 / THE GUIDE
Level Geometry Sketch
Draw a simple map of a chosen level, marking climbable surfaces and choke points. Use this sketch to plan where ranged fire and melee engagement will be most effective.
- Try a ranged weapon early to thin out distant Skaven.
- Switch to melee when enemies close to maximise damage.
04 / THE GUIDE
Side Objective Impact
Catalog all side objectives in a level and rank them by the extra loot dice they provide. Test the top three in a run to see how additional dice affect loot quality.
- Observe high ground opportunities to counter climbing Skaven.
- Use narrow corridors to funnel enemies into manageable groups.
05 / THE GUIDE
Team Communication Drill
Run a mission focusing solely on verbal call‑outs for enemy spawns and objective status. Observe how coordinated information improves survival and loot outcomes.
- Prioritise side objectives to increase dice count.
- Share loot expectations with teammates to plan distribution.
