The Skaven and Chaos forces are relentless and agile when chasing down our Ubersreik Heroes. When we started introducing playable Pactsworn into Warhammer: Vermintide 2 - Versus we wanted to create some new features for their movement. This time we will take a first look at a new movement feature that will be available in Versus: Climbing.

What is Climbing?

We are introducing Climbing for Pactsworn players to utilize at their will. Climbing is useful for many things, such as taking shortcuts, getting to ambush positions, or making an escape when needed.

In Warhammer: Vermintide 2 enemies can be seen climbing or jumping much higher than what is possible for our Heroes. Since most ledges and walls in the game are climbable, enemies are allowed to get close and surprise players quickly.

Climbing is a necessity since most of the threat posed to players are close combat enemies. The Pactsworn needs to get close to the Heroes, and they do this by jumping up ledges to apply pressure to the Heroes, no matter where they go. We are introducing Climbing as a playable feature in Versus not only as a useful tool for players but also to deliver the full experience of a Pactsworn.

We are very excited to see where our players can find a use for this new movement mechanic.
