Heroes and Pactsworn!
Welcome to the third out of five weekends of the Versus Spotlight events. Every week, we’ll take a closer look at one of the Ubersreik 5 and one of the Pactsworn Specials. Unlock unique time-limited rewards, learn more about the spotlight Hero and Skaven, and do it all while having fun.
Previous Spotlight's Rewards
You guys continue to smash through these! The target for the Community Challenge was surpassed in no time and so the community as a whole has unlocked the Ratling Gunner skin.
For everyone who played during the last spotlight, you've earned these goodies, depending on your playtime:
The rewards for the previous spotlight have just been delivered, so check your inventory! As a note, the Hero Pose might take a few restarts before it applies properly to your account. Sorry about that!
This Week's Rewards
There are unique rewards to unlock weekly through the Kill-Counter and personal rewards to unlock through a small ‘win-track’. There are currency rewards, portrait frames, skins, and weapon poses to be earned.
Sienna & Poison Wind Globadier Spotlight rewards will be earnable between November 28 - December 1. All rewards will be granted the following week.
Kill-Counter
Rally together as community to eliminate Heroes in Versus to complete the Kill-counter. If the community completes the counter, you will all unlock an exclusive skin for the Poison Wind Globadier.
Spotlight-track
Meanwhile, the win-track rewards will be unlocked depending on how much time you spend in Vermintide 2. Don’t worry, it won’t be too difficult, we promise. You can play Adventure, Chaos Wastes, Weaves, or Versus to unlock the rewards*.
- Playing for at least half an hour earns you 60 shillings.
- Playing for at least an hour earns you another 60 shillings as well as 30 Helmgart Sellsword Marks.
- Playing for at least two hours additionally earns you a brand new Portrait frame and 70 Helmgart Sellsword Marks.
- Playing for at least three hours additionally earns you a Hero Pose for Sienna!
This playtime is tracked across all game modes, but is only tracked while in an actual match.
*You cannot actively check on your track progression. All rewards will be granted the following week
Sienna
Sienna Fuegonasus is an addict, forever torn between her will to control the destructive magics of Aqshy – the Wind of Fire – and a burgeoning desire to set the world alight for no other reason than the rush of magic in her bones. Another being might succumb to such temptations, and indeed, many have. But Sienna’s compassion and wry sense of humour keep her grounded.
Poison Wind Globadier
Tattered robes and ramshackle gas masks grant Poison Wind Globadiers a sinister silhouette. This is a harbinger well-deserved, as are the rasp of rotting lungs and the acrid stench of warp-gas that sours the air about them.
Globadiers care nothing for the lives of their fellow skaven, and will happily slaughter dozens of their own kind to fell a single foe. Life is cheap in the Under-Empire, and victory forgives all.

Hotfix 6.0.7 - 28th of November
Fixes
We've also applied all of the rewards from last week's spotlight! It might be necessary to restart the game a couple of times to get them applied, sorry about that!
- Fixed an issue that made it so that Hero levels past 30 did not continue increasing the minimum item power from gear received from crafting, as introduced in a previous hotfix.
Status update for the players who lost progression during the update:
Our Backend Service Provider have now confirmed that they are unable to restore/provide us with a snapshot of the missing account data, sadly. Though, we would like to reassure you that after working with them on this issue, new measures are in place that should a similar issue arise in future (we certainly hope not!) that we will have the necessary data backups in place. What does this mean? We will be proceeding with our plan B to restore the missing account data. What will Fatshark be doing? Our backend developers will be working with our analytics team to rebuild the missing account data ourselves, and then merge this into your current account data. How long will this take? It's difficult to give an ETA currently, as our teams are planning the most effective way to proceed, and it is a lot of account data. We'll hopefully have a clearer idea of this soon, and will continue to communicate on the issue as regularly as we can. Is it safe to continue playing on my account with missing progression? Yes. We will be merging the missing account data into your current data - so any recent progress should be kept. Are there any risks? There is a small risk that merging the missing account data with current account data may lead to some slight discrepancies and cause minor elements of recent progression to be lost. Though, this would be far less than the current missing progression, and we will do our best to assist anyone should this happen. Though we will be doing all we can to best avoid this.
