The sequel to Vermintide is due next year, but Fatshark still have a piece of DLC in them for the first game. ‘Death on the Reik’ is available today, and for those who pre-ordered Vermintide 2, it’s automatically unlocked in-game.
I know this, because it’s written in big capital letters no fewer than three times throughout the post on Vermintide’s Steam community hub. Hopefully everybody should be able to spot that.
Death on the Reik otherwise costs $7.00 USD and adds a pair of new maps to the game (Reikwald Forest and River Reik). Your trip to the Reik is in an effort to chase down one of the Innkeeper’s men, who has stolen some dangerous books. It’s probably best if the Skaven don’t get hold of those, so you’ll need to get to the Dawnrunner barge, capture the thief, and destroy those tomes.
In addition, Vermintide has been patched to version 1.10. After the trailer, you’ll find the notes for both DLC and patch.
Two NEW adventure maps – Reikwald Forest and River Reik One new weapon available to roll for in Ranald’s Bones for the Bright Wizard: Sienna Fuegonasus All new DLC achievements

White Rat: Improved network sync of the bell strikes. Hosts and clients should see the visuals more or less at the same time now. Wizard’s Tower: Removed a jump that allowed you to meddle with the bridge illusion Fixed a couple of cases where enemies (mainly the Gutter Runner) would die when staggered whilst mid-air Fixed a case of Gutter Runners killing themselves by launching in to walls Fixed a case where enemies (Rat Ogre in particular) could phase through the geometry when staggered Fixed so that blood no longer fades instantly when spectating Fixed case where enemies falling out of the world would not give progress to contracts. Fixed crashes that could occur if client disconnected while being pulled up or while pulling up from ledge Completely overhauled bot jump code to reduce the number of failed jumps resulting in bots needing to be pulled up from ledge Fixed an issue that could cause bots from getting stuck in a loop of instantly falling off the ledge after getting helped up Fixed issue causing environmental effects on snow levels to not work on bot characters for clients Fixed animation bug making the made Kerillian play third person crouch animations after wielding a glaive while aiming a bow Fixed so that when hot-joining a match, you’ll no longer be prompted to interact with nearby ‘single use’ environment objectives that have already been used (think levers, switches, etc) Fixed some cases where enemy path-finding would fail Fixed it so that the it no longer shows “left button **” for unbound keys in the keybinding options menu Fixed Gutter Runner destroying doors from too far away. Made some improvements to Gutter Runner pathing when there are no available targets
