Latest ‘Vermintide 2’ DLC Introduces Outcast Engineer Career

Published

on

Last month, Fatshark dropped a few hints regarding new DLC for Vermintide 2, and now the plastic’s come off for Bardin the Dwarf’s newest career as The Outcast Engineer.

Bardin’s new career grants him a new special ability in the form of a handheld gatling gun. Rather than expending ammo, the minigun depletes your ability bar, which can be refilled by holding down reload to build pressure back up.

The career also comes with some other goodies in the form of grenades, a new Masterwork Pistol and Cog Hammer, as well as some balance changes and bug fixes which are listed over in the update’s patch notes. And, if you’re into lore (which many fans are), you can check out Bardin’s story on the update’s page on Steam.

No word on if/when the DLC will be making its way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions.
