Vermintide 2\u2019s Versus mode was announced in 2019 by Fatshark and after four years of waiting, players can finally experience this new mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Players can now play the Versus mode in an open Alpha that Fatshark has made accessible to everyone who owns Vermintide 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This open Alpha period will end on 18 March and is currently using the Righteous Stand map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Up to four players can participate on each side, alternately playing as Heroes and Pactsworn across several rounds with a scoreboard at the end of the match to reveal which team has the most points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This open Alpha comes after a closed Alpha test, which was met with great success \u2013 hosting over 3,600 players and providing valuable feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks to this, the closed Alpha included a total of 6,056 rounds across 2,093 games, with the bulk of these games ending with a clear victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of character picks, for Heroes the top careers were Mercenary, Battle Wizard, Ranger Veteran, Waystalker, and Witch Hunter Captain, with a preference for handguns and the longbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Pactsworn, the picks were more evenly spread out, which is understandable since these characters are all new to players, though there was a trend towards the Globadier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Players that aren\u2019t interested in PVP can instead enjoy the sixth year anniversary event Fatshark is running for the game at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This event provides double XP and the re-enabling of the pub crawl map called A Quiet Drink, which can be found under the Weekly Event tab in matchmaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Completing this map during the event will also earn players a new anniversary portrait frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
