Vermintide 2’s Outcast Engineer gives the Dwarf a bloody minigunHalls of the Gatling King
Halls of the Gatling King
Listen. Thwacking rats with a giant rat all day is hard work, and sometimes you’ve just gotta give your pummelling arm a break. At least, that’s the thinking behindWarhammer: Vermintide 2’s resident Dwarf, who’s ditching the melee weapons for a stonking great rotary minigun with today’s new Outcast Engineer premium career DLC. Good on ya, Bardin - the Heavy would be proud.
Oh, it’s very nice to see some of that good Vermintide banter eek its way into the marketing, mind. Lean harder on that, it’s only the best bit of the whole dang game.

The career also comes with some other goodies, mind. A utility belt gives you handy access to grenades, while a new Masterwork Pistol and Cog Hammer fill your more standard ranged and melee attacks. The DLC also comes with a fair bundle of balance changes and bug fixes which are listed over in the update’spatch notes, alongside a nice littleshort storyabout how Bardin became such a boffin at engineering - and how his old da' wouldn’t approve of all this tinkerin'.
Vermintide doesn’t go out of its way to do Warhammer world-building, but I’d love to see more little insights into the cast like this. They’re a great bunch of misanthropes. I just hopeWarhammer 40,000: Darktide’s far-future bastardshave as much charisma.
Vermintide 2’s Outcast Engineer can be picked up for £3 over onSteam.
