In this DLC, you will also receive the Executioner’s Sword, a mighty two-handed sword for Markus Kruber to slice off multiple skulls at once with. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/4601846/02cf6a2bf1dfc90f7d1243f2b344275c49a1b3eb.png https://store.steampowered.com/app/741420/Warhammer_End_Times__Vermintide_Death_on_the_Reik The unthinkable has happened!

It’s up to our heroes to find and burn the threatening articles before they fall into enemy hands. Pursue the thief through the Reikwald Forest, fighting off the Skaven that are in hot pursuit of him. Then proceed along the The River Reik as you attempt to catch up to the barge Dawnrunner, capture the thief and destroy the books before it’s too late.

We're sorry for the trouble with Patch 1.11 removing access to 'Death on the Reik' for Vermintide 2 Pre-Orders. This has now been resolved. And if you missed it, Lohner has a new task for you back in Ubersreik...

CHAOS SORCERY

Chaos Sorcerers draw upon the full fury of the Winds of Magic. Unlike the tutored wizards of the Empire, whose rituals and rites offer protection against the ravages of Chaos, Sorcerers trust to their wits and the fluxsome favour of the Dark Gods to endure the ravages of raw magic.

MARKUS KRUBER

"Should’ve said no to the insufferable old bugger.” It’s a phrase Markus Kruber mutters almost daily, but never when Saltzpyre’s within earshot. After all, without Saltzpyre’s commission, Kruber likely wouldn’t have been drawn into the horrors of Ubersreik, and certainly would have avoided all that followed. But had he not accompanied the Witch Hunter, he would have ended up in Ubersreik anyway. Arriving in the Skaven infested ruins of Ubersreik all alone, and with no misfit band of Skaven-slayers allowing him to vent his rage, Kruber would have had to face the devastating loss of his family all by himself. His prospects of survival would have been low. Read more: http://www.vermintide.com/news/dev_blog_markus_kruber/

GUTTER RUNNER & PACKMASTER

Gutter Runners are masters of stealth, soft-footed agents of Clan Eshin who wear the shadows as a cloak. They seldom attack head on, preferring to catch a foe unawares, or else while bogged-down in combat with Clanrats or Slaves. The Packmasters of Clan Moulder excel in driving packs of ravening beasts into battle, but in the crush of the swarm they favour other tactics.
