Vermintide gets free DLC

Independent developer Fatshark have released Sigmar’s Blessing, the first free downloadable content for the co-operative action game Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide.

Sigmar’s Blessing introduces a number of features. Visit the Shrine of Solace and sacrifice tokens that allows players to create weapons of a particular tier, type and for a specific hero. At a later time two more pages will be added to the Shrine: Offering, which allows the player to reroll all the traits on a weapon for a token fee, and Invocate, which rerolls the proc chance on a trait already connected to a weapon.

The DLC also introduces forty new veteran weapons and five new weapon traits to both Veteran and Exotic tiered weapons. Five new hero trinkets, increase the chance of loot for the corresponding hero and every player can now salvage Trinkets, Hats and Exotic Loot.

Fatshark is also planning future updates including a new single-player private mode, a realism mode that removes the game HUD and crosshairs, and an all new survival mode.

Vermintide was released in October 2015 for PC. The game is also coming to current generation of consoles in Q1 2016.
