Tower of Treachery is Out Now! - Patch 4.9

Heroes!

The second part of A Treacherous Adventure - Tower of Treachery - is out now on Steam, and FREE for all owners of Vermintide 2!

This FREE update sees the Ubersreik Five re-tread familiar ground with reignited purpose. Sofia Fuegonasus has taken over Olesya’s old hideout, and is attempting to spread her corruption throughout the Grey Mountains, Bretonnia and the Reikland. It’s up to you to put a stop to her deathly plans…

Navigate both Olesya’s and Sofia’s traps and illusions and take on the toughest foe you’ve encountered in Vermintide… so far! Will you make it to the top of the tower?

We aim to release Tower of Treachery on consoles in early Quarter 2, 2023.

And the inventory full issue seems to have been mitigated!

I will be really honest here. Though it pains me to say this, I am really not a fan of this cosplay skin pack.

Warhammer has such an awesome amount of armours at its disposal, and yet you chose to rip off appearences of established legendary characters, which I frankly find to be both distasteful and disrespectful to the lore.

And to be objective, including all dlc careers except for SotT is questionable decision as well.

I really hope Vermintide won’t devolve into Fortnite and the next skin pack won’t be Stormcast Eternals larp or something…

Right :roll_eyes:

I would say “Don’t worry, VT2 is at the end of it’s dev cycle” but that probably depends (to some extent) on what happens to DT.

And here i thought they released sienna’s 4th career…

Are those skeletons there to stay? Or better return on other maps?

Nice its like a new pistol skin was added to the game, lol.

Yup. Now it is no longer “could”, it is “will”.

Glad for the change, but hoping for a fix for the Inventory full bug soon.


Are there any sanctioned mods that stopped working after this update (aside from Weapon Kill Counter)?

We are temporarily desanctioning this mod as a precaution since it is known to be having an issue in the current patch (4.9.0) that causes a crash when accessing Spoils of War in the keep. Sanctioned status will be swiftly restored when the issues are resolved. Thanks for your understanding!

Oh man, I had that happen once. That was an easy freebee, but it was fun.

I’ve been too busy playing it, but it’s now time to say I love the new map.

Glad about the inventory fix as well.
