Little Known Mechanics In Vermintide 2

Its not unique for halberd, its work with any weapon

I Discovered the halberd one on a complete accident when i panicked lmao

You sure trolled them.

Crouching with Sienna's staves... gives you less accuracy, for some reason.

any webs that have horizontal attack motion can benefit from camera sweep.

the pickaxe also has 2 stages of heavy along with the rapier. the only 2 weapons afaik that have 2-stage heavy profiles. almost worth taking the pick for the mega dmg against CWs even on body shot, but the engineer hammer is just too good and more spammable. sad

You can special attack pistol shot through your block on rapier

Didn't know about Sienna's zoom.

warrior priest of sigmar when using a book and hammer can hold v to pre charge it's power attack.

Idk if I'm stupid or if something just isn't displaying for me but I can't figure it out. What button is the weapon special button on keyboard?

Oooo 360 no scope halberd mercenary nice!

also - when using the rapier and you press the special attack (pistol) after blocking, you're still in block mode the whole time (as the stamina shields are present on screen)

its the same for Kruber's shield and spear

I knew about the halberd; there’s a similar mechanic with the executioner sword. The rapier heavy attack damage was news to me, as was the zooming in. Couple hundred hours in, still learning- good stuff.

The Rapier is my favorite weapon in the game, especially on Witch Hunter, as you can make use of the one shot headshot with the weapon special pistol.

the number of the beast

Shield weapons can block rat ogre and chaos spawn overhead slams if you have stamina. No stamina, you get squished like normal.

ive played this game for over 200 hours before discovering there was a push attack

part 2..

There are two different damage values for the longbow bow, found on the Waystalker. If you hold it back to the point that the arms of the bow stops creaking, you have a higher damage output than just quickly firing an hasty aimed show. I dunno how well know that is since I've only recently started playing but I did notice it while trying to find my favorite ranged weapon for her that isn't the Shade and her Volley Crossbow.

The Elf's Glaive also has a similar function on its heavy attack, where light attacking immediately afterward does a second heavy attack. In the case of the Glaive, it's a downward swing that headshots very frequently. Ruins the day of any Stormvermin or even Chaos Warrior you come across.

The Executioners Sword does a similar rush forward like the Pickaxe with its charged up heavy, only shorter distance. Its great for killing Elites, as you can keep back out of their range, then use the rush forward to smash their heads. Also a fully charged heavy has extra range standing still, light attacks even more so, than just a heavy attack with this sword. I've also noticed some weapon animations have longer ranges then others.

And Rapier have second atak with pistol and no limit ammo, this same button to additional zoom on elves

I did not know the greatsword heavy/light swipe or the burning skull zoom. Thanks!

I keep forgetting weapon specials were a thing. I wish more weapons had specials on em

Kruber has a further extra zoom with his Huntsman career with your special attack key during his career skill.

I like that didn't have to do a few things thanks❤️

The pick's one was new for me, thanks. Didn't know about it because, well, the pick is still waaay too slow for a comfy play, and the coghammer is basically its better version.
Still sad that you mentioned Pyro's zoom but didn't mention the ability to target her ult, that seemingly went unnoticed by a lot of people. It's pretty handy when you don't want to randomly target your neares foe and are aiming for something in the distance. For some reason it doesn't work on dummies in the keep tho.

Quick and to the point, nice.

Uh thx! i love halbeard - need to test this asap

WOOOOO i didnt know that thank you this will be very usefull !!

Great tips! Thanks

one interesting mechanic that i doubt ppl will use is the immortal zelot as i call it idk if ppl talked about it but if u play zelot with the perk feel nothing and the difficulty is to the point that enemies can do a lot of dmg to u (can be done in higher weaves for example >120 ) u can use the ult and let enemies hit u and then u get the ult again for free thou u cant spam it cuz it overwrites the effect and u will die so u can use ult let enemies dmg u until u get new ult wait for the current ult to end and then repeat its an odd thing to do but it can help in weaves for example

Ok, didn't know about the Elfs 2H Sword had a second heavy.

I did know about the Pick since I use it because it's the only 2H weapon with a charge attack for killing 1 thing rather than a sweep.

The zoom is literally on the passives bar of her talents, how do people not know? But why can Pyromancer!

"This is unique to the Halberd" Doesn't that work with the 2H Hammer. I'm 99% certain it does or at least used to.

Extra zoom also works with javelin too :P

Another little known mechanic: If you and another were downed and have a skull you can use Bandage to heal another player and both of your skulls will be removed

Bonus: Some ranged weapons like Masterwork Pistol, Brace of Pistols, Crossbow, etc... get more precise if you crouch

very cool

don’t use only pre-made builds and love 💕 Experimenting with every kind of combination of traits and weapons it’s pretty easy to notice some of these changes however I also feel like fat shark is still tweaking and balancing in the background randomly. For example when I was using the troll hammer on the dwarf engineer and the temp health on stagger power traits I noticed I was getting Temp health staggering a monster with the troll hammer which leads me Believe that the troll hammer direct hits (or perhaps specific skins) count as a melee hits especially since I was also able to break beast men banner’s with direct hits.
Another instance of new changes being noticed randomly other than voice lines a friend of mines red glowing weapon skin seem to set enemies on fire on death like they were being purged and he was playing as the A mercenary. Furthermore in the chaos wastes it seems like without a shield I no longer block Rat Ogre overheads they didn’t knock me back any more just took damage.

I really dont know about the speed buff and zoom with pyromancer.

extending attacks it not only unique to the halberd. i use it with spear and shield too

Doesn't the Halberd one work on Exe sword

Always wondered if there was any camera-hitbox shenanigans. Well, my Foot Knight may have just gotten a bit better at horde clear!

Wonderful!
