Did you know the Warhammer: Vermintide series is about to turn a whole five years old? Well, if you didn't, you do now. Starting this very day, developer Fatshark is celebrating the rat games series' fifth birthday with "all things five". That is, "five days filled with activities" themed around - yup, you guessed it - the number five.
As detailed on the Vermintide site, the first of these celebrations comes in the form of some sharp shark-themed headgear. The "Obese Megalodon hat", as it's called (get it?), will be available to Vermintide 2 players across all platforms - all you've got to do is complete one single mission, and you'll scoop it up.
Next up is a challenge that hinges on the premise of "slay rats, be rewarded" (well, it is a "rat-bashing franchise" after all). "We're tasking you and your fellow heroes to cut down five hundred and fifty-five million, five hundred and fifty-five thousand, five hundred and fifty-five enemies in Warhammer: Vermintide 2", Fatshark says. Phew! It doesn't matter which platform you're on, or whether you win or lose your match - it'll all count towards the total.
