Warhammer: Vermintide 2 will tomorrow launch update 4.7, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch! Before we get started, it’s important to note one distinction. The update tomorrow, which includes the new Be’lakor Chaos Wastes expedition, has its Premium Cosmetics also coming to both PC and Xbox. PlayStation users will need to wait until June 17 to get the cosmetics, though will also get the main update tomorrow. Sadly that means PlayStation users have to wait a bit longer to give Saltzpyre yet another random object on his head, though it’ll be worth the wait I’m sure. Without further ado, here’s everything coming tomorrow with the 4.7 update for Warhammer: Vermintide 2!

UI/UX

  • Fixed stamina shields flickering when swapping quickly between two melee weapons.
