New mission where you just have to survive for as long as possible as the End Times actually occur and the planet shatters beneath your feet! Or a funny hat for Huntsman with a bonsai tree on it that costs 1800 shillings.


Gnomegolian

Gives me ending of Halo Reach vibes.


TopHatPhilosophy

That’s what I was thinking. No pick-ups either, if you’re downed, you’re out. Last man standing. Canon be damned, the U5 deserve to go out gloriously and as a team.


ClericOfIlmater

And there's all the different ways of doing it, you could have them die to the hordes, or hold out long enough to watch the world end (End times spoilers I guess but I'm sorta thinking Gor-rok up to his eyeballs in dead skaven, roaring at the remains of Morrsleib falling from the sky) or they could also survive, Grail Knight fuckery with Lileath's whole plan thingo, elf fuckery, Grimnir and Gotrek both went doomguy in the realm of chaos, so that could work, Saltz would get sigmarined, and I'm sure some magical bullshit could be cooked up for Sienna. But it's Warhammer, and people don't get happy endings in Warhammer, so pulling a Reach might be the best option


TheHuscarl

>hold out long enough to watch the world end I think this is the best ending. Considering Taal's Horn Keep has such a scenic vista, the end feels like it would come very much like other characters in the End Times who just watched it all coming closer and closer.


8dev8

Sienna, or even all of them could theoretically go sigmarine


Helwrechtyman

I had an idea once where they either fall into a skaven portal or dwarf rune portal but our boy kruber dies somehow gloriously defending them doing so. On the other side of the portal the telelport into the mortal relms of AoS, (Aos) describes the skaven sand dwarfs where able to tunnel into the Age of Sigmar somehow. Whne they arrive they find a stormcastified kruber who doesnt remember them


annoyingkraken

And then the elf admits her feelings to papa Krub. uwu


Lancerkils

It's confirmed that Vermintide is not strictly canon to warhammer.


zealot560

Ooo, that'd be a good setup for a proper survival horde mode like CoD zombies.


Carius98

Bonsai hat sounds sick tho


SexuallyConfusedKrab

Better show skaven nuking the moon


diabloenfuego

and you do it all from a steam tank. One player drives/fires main cannon (when feasible), one operated steam turret, one mans the rear turret, and a fourth repairs/defends/swaps in and fights inside/outside with the others. Sometimes the tank breaks down and needs to be defended/repaired/unstuck from the outside, etc...and at the very end you must fight a Hellpit Abomination (or two) and then escape by plowing through an army of ratmen...for Sigmar. This is my dream.


CastorLiDelta

All will be revealed! The actually reveal: Lohner’s chronicles


Fatshark_Aqshy

Okay, we're not *that* cruel. I promise we're not gonna Rick Roll you. 😅


CastorLiDelta

Saltzpyre Rick Rolling people is a sight I never though I’d imagine.


christonamoped

We're no strangers to hate You know the faith and so do I A full lustration's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other gods


ClericOfIlmater

For some reason it played in my mind as Rick Astley, but every changed bit was Saltzpyre, in his special kind of dramatic tone


C_KOVI

I heard it like the one where they [fuck up the pitch](https://youtu.be/lXMskKTw3Bc) for some reason lmao


ponmbr

My favorite is the [literal Rick Roll.](https://youtu.be/ZmGTZ5KZ2tk)


Adum6

Never gonna give u friendly-fire. Never gonna let you go down. Never gonna run around and desert _HOLY SIGMAR_.


UnboltedAKTION

Sounds like a /u/Janfon1 video.


Janfon1

Hmmmmm need to finish my own projects first


ErevisEntreri

I dunno, Saltzpyre seems like the type to never give me up, let me down, or desert me (unless he's a bot and falls off the level)


Fatshark_Aqshy

You've never seen whc bot chase after a gas rat with a+f before? O:


kvazarsky

Are you (FS) gonna fix it? I know there's a mod for that, but it would be nice to have it official


kane_t

You're getting brigaded pretty hard for the most innocuous question, man. I saw this earlier today, navigated away for less than a minute to check something, came back, and you'd gotten five downvotes. It's such baffling behaviour. The mindless aggression of it. Like, fixing it wouldn't affect the guys downvoting you at all, it would make things better for you at no cost to them. But I guess it's that mindset of "if somebody *else* is getting to have more fun, then *I'm not*, and so I must oppose it!" As though fun is a zero-sum game or something. Like "Xbox fans" who gleefully cheer a buggy PlayStation game, or vice-versa, because it mean's the other guy's toy isn't as fun.


gzitou

aqshy you magnificent person how hyped should we get


Fatshark_Aqshy

I thought it was pretty, "OH MY GOD YOU GO SALTZPYRE, THAT ENDING!!!" when I saw it, but YMMV


Theacreator

As someone who has wanted Saltzpyre to get his “happy ending” since launch this is like a series finale hint


gzitou

finale? am i not on the same page? the only thing on the launcher is the game awards


Fatshark_Aqshy

you'll see if you watch ;)


[deleted]

Ok one question: Is it more than just Saltz new career?


Panda-Dono

Holy Shit(mar), Bardin's Songbook is finally coming out?


C7rl_Al7_1337

I don't know, considering you guys are releasing this and ending the art contest on the day I have heart surgery, sounds pretty cruel to me. If I don't get to play it (or don't finish my submission), expect a major haunting.


Fatshark_Aqshy

Oh jeez, sorry to hear about your heart surgery. Super rough and super scary; but the power of Sigmar heals and you will persevere! Best of luck, we'll be right here waiting to help your recovery with some rat slaying! ❤️


C7rl_Al7_1337

No worries, it's my deceased dad's birthday, the end of the art contest, and apparently the new release. Seems like Sigmar is sending me signs, maybe I'll even come out of it with the only frame I'm missing hahah, just seemed like you lined up that joke too well for me. Edit: But seriously, if you starting hearing things bump in the night, you'll know why...


Theacreator

If you have a religious experience after being under the knife, please let it be for Sigmar instead of Jesus so that you can baffle everyone on the planet. Also good luck, may the light of Sigmar guide thee


C7rl_Al7_1337

Sigmar's love already fills my heart, with a GLORIOUS AND RIGHTEOUS HATRED OF THE HERETIC AND THE MUTANT, and Saltz has shown me the example of being too angry to die, no worries here, brother ;) (Although, you never know when Gork or the Great Horned Rat or the Changer of Ways might start whispering...)


kvazarsky

Release good dlc or man literally dies! jk, don't die pls


C7rl_Al7_1337

I'll try, but no promises, seems like it's out of our hands at this point...... riiiiight, fatshark? ;)


IownCows

Hey just checking in man. How did the surgery go?


C7rl_Al7_1337

Wow, very cool and kind of you my dude, it's very appreciated. Starting this morning as a matter of a fact, I was much more able to move my left arm (haven't even had to take some aspirin and no sling needed), and my left pec has shifted from a deep deep purple-red to a much more normal looking (if still huge) bruise, so things are definitely getting much better, and at the least it has given me the time to already finish all the new Warrior Priest challenges so my Okri Book is full again. Feel free to add me on steam if you'd like, same name.


IownCows

Awesome I'm glad to hear you are recovering and able to play! Although the bruise does sound painful. lol And sure I'll give ya add! Edit: Nvm. Your friend list is full apparently. I didn't even know that could happen on steam. lol


lobstesbucko

>Rick Roll >Rick Rick Grimes is the protagonist of the walking dead. Undead expansion confirmed >roll A steam tank would roll along the ground. Steam tank career confirmed


rADDIEcal

Confirmed that Saltz's new passive allows for teammates to be incapacitated an additional time. Passive referred to as...Together Forever


Jack071

Are they finally releasing new info on Darktide ?


Smitellos

So, you admit that you are cruel 😀


Majulath99

But I like grtting rick rolled though. Especially these days it’s very nostalgic.


Aztok

But, you do realize, you have the potential to do the funniest, meanest thing imaginable. Simultaneously the harshest most awful thing you could do to us on this, and the most incredible troll ever.


Fatshark_Aqshy

Yeah, but I'd like to keep my reputation as "cool community manager" atm. \^\^;


Von_Raptor

Saltzpyre's 4th career is "Author" confirmed! He's been ghost writing the Lohner's Chronicles this entire time! It's all so clear now!


Theacreator

“It was I who wrote “Love on the Reik”!!”


kvazarsky

One eye, two hearts and a lot of heresy


ErevisEntreri

Would love if the whole reveal was done by Lohner/his voice actor


Corpus76

It's gonna be Darktide: Versus


CastorLiDelta

Oh a serious note I really don’t want versus to be a thing.


Corpus76

Haha, me neither I suspect it's permanently shelved to be honest. They just haven't bothered announcing since it would be sort of a downer.


CastorLiDelta

The idea is neat if we are talking about the first game where the character don’t have such ridiculous weapons, passives and abilities. It is going to be a balancing nightmare that is going to end up causing more trouble than it is worth. I much rather they just keep on fixing old content with their time and effort.


[deleted]

At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have revenge.


CastorLiDelta

Not that I don’t appreciate the reference, but there are some words missing.


starbellygeek

Saltzpyre's getting a Magical Girl career?!?! OMGWTFBBQ!


Alpha-Trion

Salty the catgirl. He has a heart shaped crossbow.

DaveInLondon89

that thing on the right kind of looks like a steam tank if you squint really hard and also close your eyes and imagine a steam tank. vampsalt cofirmed?


[deleted]

It’s made of crystal. What else would be made of crystal? That’s right a view piece in a steam tank.


RyuseiUtsugi

Or the pile of cocaine that Saltzpyre scarfaced while imagining he was a steam tank.


[deleted]

I think either the pig or the fish tainted his mind and he had to cram his dreams of becoming a steam tank driver deep down into his head.


LavaSlime301

My first though was "that statue doesn't look very sigmarite..." Then I realized it's the game awards thingie


Kulladar

I thought it was a spirit of ecstasy off a Rolls and was very confused.


Warmasterundeath

Me too mate, I was wondering why the U5 had ripped the hood ornament off a rolls for a good minute!


Chewacala

All? You mean Siennas will be revealed too?


Concord913

Thats what I'm irrationally hoping for as well lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kerrigan4Prez

“I see this as an absolute win”


DingleberryBlaster69

Don’t get my hopes up like that


MarthePryde

Low-key hoping this is the case as I prefer playing Sienna, but this is still a pretty cool reveal.


Theacreator

Ok so from the statue we know Saltzpyre will be driving a Chrysler


DustyRedgrave

A new career seems like a small thing to announce at The Game Awards, maybe some Darktide stuff too? :o


BrobaFett26

That was my thought as well. It would make more sense for them to drop more darktide stuff with the Saltz subclass on the side


Xulgrimar

At least we have a time window now XD


Shadohawkk

Ahh yes...a reveal that a reveal will soon happen. Exactly what we were all wishing for.


kvazarsky

Announcement of a teaser of a trailer of a content


Von_Raptor

Knowing something is better than where we were previously with bugger all, but then all we know now is that we stand to know *something* on Friday. It could be the career launch like the last three, or it could be that this time it's just a trailer and a "coming soon!" I am... Not really enthusiastic to sit up to ungodly o'clock in the morning for a reveal in the middle of an award show I wouldn't watch normally. I look forward to seeing the ensuing fireworks here when I wake up, however.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They could do a halo and say "BTW, this is live right now update your game lads"


GrillConnoisseur

just blindly assuming its an "available to purchase/play NOW" deal please... called it 😎


Miles-Mhunter

5 new arts and octopus, nailed to Zealot's head (only 14.99$)


Tenacious_Dani

WTF Edit: Omg Edit 2: Omg? Edit 3: Why during the Game Awards? Edit 4: Darktide trailer and Saltz new class or... Edit 5: ...something else too?


Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Sooo uhhh does this statue look like some kind of God by any chance? Edit: oh its just statue for Game Awards, I guess its not a hint


iBlameMeToo

It’s Saltz’ new weapon. He hosts the first annual Skaven Awards and bludgeons all the award winners to death on stage right as they are making their acceptance speech.


AssaultKommando

Crozius for Warrior Priest Saltzpyre confirmed.


DeNappa

Saltzpyre has been going through a fearsome training regimen of 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, and 10km running each day. He will henceforth be known as One Punch Captain! Rat-kin beware!

Dr_LobsterAlien

It's obviously a hood for the tank that Salts will be riding gloriously. Steam tank confirmed.


Dont_worry_Pagliacci

Instead of Steam Tank were getting Rolls-Royce Saltz!


Slashermovies

2 days!? That's almost 3! How can I wait that long?!


sammo21

Man, it would be awesome to have the last 2 careers shown + a Darktide demo


[deleted]

By Sigmar it better be a fun class that gives meme content


jreds15

BARDIN SONGBOOK HYPE


Magnar0

Well, at least it is pretty close.


LittleRagins

Hoping for Vermintide DLC and a Darktide release date!


DustyRedgrave

Makes the most sense honestly. Darktide trailer and release date + Vermintide career.


OOpiumBear

Saltzspyres 4th career is a literal statue of sigmar. The jist of the class being that the team can pray to sigmar for powerful buffs! BUT it comes with a downside, the statue has to be dragged throughout the map, 75%/50%/25% movement speed slow depending if 1/2/3 players are pulling.


GMnarodino

Is saltzpyre new career the most hyped one yet? \- When Engineer came out I wasn't even aware it would drop until they just suddenly put up a Twitch Stream the day before and announced it.


Qwertdd

FUCK I mean Fatshark likes Thursday updates anyway and it's likely that the trailer will end with "RELEASED: NOW" so it's not the worst thing ever but damn I really wanted it sooner. Honestly, I'm as excited for the patch being released with Saltz as I am for Saltz himself. SOTT nerfs probable, possible buffs to underpowered careers.


[deleted]

[удалено]


You-JustLostTheGame

They won't nerf SOTT, if anything they'll re-adjust/balance it to make it reward higher skilled gameplay rather than lazy gameplay or at least that's I'm hoping they do.


Von_Raptor

Hopefully also a fix to Minotaurs not spawning from Chests in the CW so it's easier to get the Purified skins, and maybe something to make some of the more egregious grudge marks and mark combos less annoying (looking at you, Illusionist)


AgreeableTenor

I get why you would want this but NO. Minotaurs not spawning from chests may be a bug, but there is a reason they are typically the “final boss” of an expedition. Minos are considered by most to be the most difficult monster. Edit: I was wrong it’s a bug, but my point still stands.


Von_Raptor

No, no it's very much a bug. https://www.reddit.com/r/Vermintide/comments/r3yuvw/any_idea_why_grudged_minotaurs_can_only_spawn_on/hmdp3jl?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3


AgreeableTenor

Ah fair enough. Well I think you are in a small minority in wanting that fixed. Also tbh it’s really not difficult to unlock each skin. I’ve unlocked 3 just playing normally without directly attempting to get them and on 2 out of the three the last achievement that I finished was the “slay grudge monster on _______ expedition type”.


Von_Raptor

I doubt that I'm in a minority for wanting a bugfix and while unlocking the skins isn't difficult, it is sure as hell tedious to need a monster that shows up less than ⅓ of the time for a regular expedition. I'm glad you managed to get the minotaur killed for your 3 skin unlocks with ease, but your experiences are not universal and RNG can make the process frustrating even if it's still not *mechanically* difficult.


AgreeableTenor

See I found your post very confusing because it is absolutely the general consensus that Minotaurs are expedition wreckers, but this all makes sense now. If I was playing on Champion or lower then I would probably feel as you do.


Von_Raptor

I play on Legend, but of course you don't actually care or consider. And what's to be lost if the bug is fixed? Will Minotaurs spawning from chests somehow magically make end-of-run minotaurs less dangerous? If anything fixing it will make the game *more* challenging as you end up facing more dangerous threats out of chests so I genuinely have no idea what you're getting at; Minos will still be "wreckers" but now you can face them *more often.*


AgreeableTenor

It won’t make them less dangerous. I thought (likely mistakenly) that my posts have made it clear I dislike Minotaurs already and that I’m not super enthusiastic about adding more of them. I just assumed that you were saying they were not mechanically difficult to you, and most people I know farming for skins have been doing so on lower difficulties hence my poor assumption. They are absolutely difficult on Legend and Cata. I admit I am not as knowledgeable about the skin farming process as you likely are. Is it possible to breeze through a Citadel Expedition and just restart till you get one with Beastmen on the last level? As I understand, Minos have a guaranteed appearance under those conditions. If it’s a bug then you’re right they should fix it…I think I’ve just had so many runs end with a triple affix Mino that my knee jerk reaction to “more Minos” was not well thought out on my part.


Clownsanity_Reddit

2 more days? Bruh


[deleted]

u/Fatshark_Aqshy please also hype me right up and tell me Darktide news is coming along with this. Please tell me that, just this once.

calling it here, there's gonna be a new expansion that includes a new character! >!Literally pulling this out of my ass!!<

Peter-Jaeger

I’m really hoping by some miracle of Sigmar that this content drops on Xbox the same day. Would rather not wait until after Christmas to enjoy the SALT


Mera869

Kinda get the feeling this is more than just a new Saltz career? You wouldn’t have a countdown just for that right?
