How co-op works
Four-player online co-op where teams hold choke points, share healing items, and call out threats while battling through Skaven-infested missions that punish isolated players.
About this game
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide drops players into the ruined city of Ubersreik during the apocalyptic End Times, where ravenous Skaven rat-men pour from below in endless waves. Five distinct heroes, each with unique weapons and abilities, stand against the tide in this first-person melee-focused combat adventure built around team survival.

Missions push squads through claustrophobic streets, warehouses, and catacombs where positioning and communication prove critical. Players swing hammers, axes, and swords in visceral melee exchanges, rely on teammates to cover flanks, and manage limited healing supplies as special Skaven enemies threaten to split the group. Every run randomizes enemy spawns and loot drops, forcing adaptation rather than scripted responses.
Completed missions award loot dice that unlock better gear, and each hero levels independently with unlockable traits and equipment tiers. The difficulty system scales encounters and changes enemy behavior, offering replayability for groups chasing rare weapons or testing coordination under mounting pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can team up in Vermintide?
Vermintide supports online co-op for up to four players. You'll choose from five distinct heroes and fight through missions together against waves of Skaven enemies.
Does Vermintide require good team coordination to succeed?
Yes, coordination is critical. Missions push you through tight corridors where you need teammates to cover flanks, manage limited healing supplies together, and communicate about special enemy threats. Positioning and teamwork matter more than individual skill.
Is there any progression or do you start fresh every mission?
Each hero levels up independently and earns loot dice from completed missions that unlock better gear, traits, and equipment tiers. The randomized loot drops and multiple difficulty settings give you reasons to replay missions as your squad improves.
Can I play Vermintide solo or do I need other people?
The game supports single-player, but it's designed around four-player co-op. Playing solo or with fewer than four players will be significantly more challenging since the game expects coordinated teamwork and covering multiple roles.
