Vermintide 2 On Easy Mode! How to own Legend and Cataclysm

Use this one simple trick to trivalise the game of Vermintide 2

[@supyo3616]

I've mained Ironbreaker since day one. I've clutched more runs than lesser careers have played in total. This guide is objectively factual. Curse Resistance, not needed. Shield weapon, not needed. We don't take any damage anyway. Two handed weapons only baby. Grenade launcher or dual pistols is the chad way, the Dawi way. Yes you are a tank. And tanks don't just get hit, they fuck shit up. Stop being a beardling and become a full, tree crown sized beard. Join the Ironbreaker ranks.

Bardin Goreksson only uses a weapon to restrain the godly power his bare fists would unleash, shattering the world.

[@insaniam_convertunt_scientiam]

Technically you don’t have to worry about friendly fire. They have to dodge.

[@wuguxiandi9413]

If it can die, it isn't a friend - Bardin Goreksson.

[@Arin-3]

Needed the insults to convince myself to swap off Slayer. Realised that Slayer has a hidden mechanic where pressing leap into 50 enemies gives you the death debuff a lot. 10/10 recommend, dying takes effort now.

[@kryptkick441]

That's why the increased stagger talent on the leap is so essential. The temptation to leap into insurmountable danger is just too strong

[@vancemacewen4319]

Slayer gets less squishy when you reframe Leap as your special killer in your head. You ARE the ranged weapon you snipe specials with. With Dawi Drop applying to bombs, you can delete patrols with Leap + bomb (meme option) Crunch turns it into a more defensive option, as panicking will stagger enemies and give breathing room The third one lets you spam Leap a ton, which can allow you to clutch when the rest of your team is dead and specials are closing in

[@OfficialPepe]

I started the game with IB, but quickly came to the realisation that you will not have fun with any other class on legend or cata if you only played IB. Everything will feel weak compared. You simply dont need to master the game mechanics, dodging, positioning etc. with IB. At least half of the IB's that join QP legend or cata lobbys take the most damage, even with all the goodies IB has. And (of course thats just my assumption) those are the people that only played IB and hence never had to endure the pain of learning the game the "normal" way. Yes, IB is fun, but you miss out on so many situations that you learn the really important essentials from, like gettin hit due to bad positioning, gettin overrun by hordes, not having good block management and so on. IB just allows the player to ignore all of that in alot of cases. If you want to really learn the game and shine with any Class, especially in higher diffs, i recommend play Witch Hunter. If you master Witch Hunter, you will have the skillset to use any Class not just IB (except elf, we dont talk about elf).

[@kryptkick441]

I agree about WHC and I would also add Merc to that list as they are very similar. My main point in this video is if you want to branch into the high difs and not be a burden to your team IB is a good place to start precisely for the reasons you mentioned, ie its very hard to die. Once you get a feel for the increased special spawning, enemy density increased hp etc you can branch out

[@v.6423]

I started the game with WHC, just because I saw that Warrior Priest trailer and thought Saltz is cool (I ended up dying alot)

[@Goldenleyend]

If Bardin is taken you can also pick Unchained for easymode. You may be disencouraged by the times you die to overheat but you can literally vent while surrounded by skaven, with the right perks you're even tankier

[@SebastianZub]

Well, I didn't want to play with the dwarf but with this video I said to give it a try to Ironbreaker. First with the great hammer and the grenade launcher, which is nice, but I got the Cog Hammer after and ohh booy the little dwarf came to life and made playing with him more fun as I had with any other character. So yeah, Ironbreaker is awesome and fun :) Thank you for the recommendation! p.s: Yeah, that little ding noise sometimes the hammer is doing when hitting and the laughs of the dwarf when swinging are so satisfying :)

[@kryptkick441]

Bro I live for that ding noise. Thanks for the feedback!

[@thatonguy2407]

In my experience, the best way to get better at Vermintide 2 is to play Witch Hunter Captain, since everything he does is based on the fundamentals of the game. I'm a Foot Knight main, and after playing WHC and Zealot for a couple months, I recently swapped back to ol reliable, and I have been dying less than Ironbreakers, and my only deaths so far have been due to Assassins/Hookrats in dense hordes or Spawns throwing me off ledges. Today I did a Legend run of Chaos Wastes where 3 of the 4 players got nearly 1k kills, and the other got 750, meaning we fought almost 4,000 enemies, and I only went down twice, once because of a Hookrat in a dense horde, and once because I was tanking a Minitaur when a Spawn came, threw me across the room straight into a Hookrat in the middle of about 5 Bestigor. Both times my team was able to res me quickly, and I was able to keep them safe.

[@kryptkick441]

Footknight is amazing

[@kryptkick441]

And interesting point about WHC you're probably right he is best to learn the fundamentals

[@vampiregoat69]

My wife,dog,cat and tesla all left me before this video now I live in peace knowing I can now play this on legendary

[@kryptkick441]

This is the problem with self driving cars. They can just leave at any moment

[@zinstonehead]

IB is also great if you have a weak pc and you can play only on unstable 30 fps - because you are often hit without being able to see from where.

[@wuguxiandi9413]

Works great for me when I play with my American friends. Lag is no issue when you can tank a nuke to the face, and barely singe your beard.

[@snubbiwow]

Pre-watching the video: I am a Kerillian main. I like to hit shit. I destroy everything because my IQ is unquestionable higher than the common peasant. After watching video: I am an Idiot. Elves are worse than glass cannons. I was dead delusional thinking that i was nothing but a bottom feeder. After playing nothing but Ironbreaker: I am a Bardin main. I like to hit shit. i destroy everything because my IQ is unquestionable higher than the common peasant. Grail knight would agree. Thank you for this beautiful piece of enlightenment @KryptKick

[@wuguxiandi9413]

My only problem with playing Ironbreakers, is that there is always someone else playing it in every game I join. Vermintide 2 needs a mode where you can play as 4 Ironbreakers.

Getting max rolls isn't mandatory, a Swift Slaying Coghammer with like 24% Block Cost Reduction and +1 Stamina will be about as good as the Veteran equivalent you saw in the video. Just reroll for the right traits, and aim for property rolls around 2 1/3rds the maximum value or so.

[@kryptkick441]

I actually run Single Handed Hammer and Drake Fires more all the time!

[@OfficialPepe]

IB was always OP just by his traits. Basically takes less damage than everything else in the game, you literally can get hit every 20 seconds and it dont matter, in overwhelming situations with hordes/patrols you just activate ult and block everything. Everyone denying IB is not OP is delusional, period. Its literally the "Okay we get it, casuals wanna do legend+ too" Class.

[@rouvenkling]

After the trollhammer do es it Do a lot of friendly fire ?

[@kryptkick441]

[@Z3ZP]

So this is why all the IB’s want to decimate their teams with torpedo. When you give IB to an average online player with the ”I’m the best, everyone else is human garbage” mentality, everyone is gonna have a bad time.

Good guide, but I would suggest using a shield weapon with Opportunist, instead. The heavy weapons just aren't safe enough as Legend players' skills continue to deteriorate over this game's lifecycle and you have to carry harder than ever.

You must not play pub games if you think IB is truly easy mode, sure he's tanky as all hell and has trollhammer, but the real easy mode is Battle wiz. Double walk coruscation spam famished flames battle wiz is the most braindead easy fucking class to be OP with, and honestly I'm so sick of seeing casual tards just spamming with her in pubs and ruining the game.

Dual hammers is awesome and super cheesy as well but I prefer that for the slayer. With cog hammer backup ofc. Cog hammer true OP.

Isn't smiter a waste when using a heavy stagger weapon?

[@kryptkick441]

With most heavy stagger weapons I would say yes but since the CH does such massive single hit damage especially charged headshots, the extra 20% takes it to another level. Pair this with the 20% from a WHC tag and you dealing massive damage. Bulwark is totally useable but in my testing Smiter is the better choice

[@greyfalconow9467]

Smiter is just a flat 20% extra damage on every attack, no reason not to take it unless you got assassin, or have a ranged build that uses enhanced power. Never use Bulwalk or Mainstay, they suck in pretty much every circumstance except for shield bash builds.
