If you are a solo player, or just can’t find many players in your lobbies, you will often have to rely on bots to help you out. However, Vermintide 2’s bots do not make for very competent teammates. This doesn’t spell doom for your solo games– there are some specific strategies, loadouts, and classes that you can give your bots to make them helpful to you.

 

#3: Mercenary

Despite Mercenary’s soldier-ly appearance, Markus Kruber’s first class actually offers some very useful support options when built as a bot. Having a Mercenary bot will give you bonus offensive potential as well as keep you alive.

There are two important perks for a bot Mercenary: “Strike Together” and “On Yer Feet, Mates!” The first of these will spread his “Paced Strikes” passive to the whole team, including you. The latter perk will cause his career skill, “Morale Boost,” to instantly revive as well as heal any downed teammates. As a bot, Mercenary will use this quite frequently, which is very useful since bots tend to struggle with reviving players under most circumstances.

As for equipment, give him a melee weapon with wide swings, like a Two-Handed Sword, Spear and Shield, or Executioner’s Sword, so that he can activate “Paced Strikes” as frequently as possible. Also give him a Handgun or Repeater Handgun– since bots have aimbot, giving them high-damage, high-accuracy weapons yields great results.

 

#2: Ironbeaker

Ironbeaker is a waist-high walking wall of solid steel. Despite his offensive shortcomings compared to other characters, his crowd control abilities and survivability are unmatched, making him an effective bot to have on your team.

There are actually a few choices to make when building a bot Ironbeaker, but a great perk to choose is “Rune-Etched Shield,” which grants brief bonus power to his team’s melee attacks every time he blocks an attack.

Each of his final perks which affect his career skill “Impenetrable” are very good. “Drengbarazi Oath” boosts his team’s power (bonus damage, cleave, and stagger for melee, bonus damage for ranged attacks) by 20% for 10 seconds.

“Oi! Wazzok!” will pull the attention of every enemy to Ironbeaker, giving you a chance to attack freely.

“Booming Taunt” will increase the radius of “Impenetrable’s” stagger by 50% and raise its duration.

Finally, taking “Gromril Curse” will cause a wide knockdown effect every time Ironbeaker’s invincible armor is broken.

As for equipment, a Hammer and Shield will give Ironbreaker great crowd control with its shield bash, and a Handgun will be helpful for the same reasons as Mercenary. Alternatively, a Trollhammer Torpedo could give your Ironbeaker bot a serious advantage when fighting bosses.

 

#1: Warrior Priest of Sigmar

The Warrior Priest of Sigmar is a bastion of strength and resistance who provides great defensive support to your team. Having a Warrior Priest will provide your team with greatly enhanced survivability.

Warrior Priest has a variety of strong perks that benefit your team. The first is “From Fury, Fortitude,” which will cause the Warrior Priest to give health back to his team whenever he kills an enemy while under the effects of “Righteous Fury.” “Prayer of Hardiness” is a great passive, giving the whole team a flat 15% bonus to their health, but you may also wish to pick “Prayer of Might” when playing with a shield or hammer weapon since it will boost the team’s stagger power.

The most powerful perk available to a Warrior Priest bot is “The Comet’s Gift,” which causes Warrior Priest’s career skill, “Shield of Faith,” to heal all damage taken in the last 3 seconds as well as revive a player if they are downed. This is capable of immense amounts of healing and can undo even some of the biggest mistakes.

 

As an honorable mention, if you are playing Vermintide 2 on PC, check out the “Loadout Manager” mod, which allows you to save equipment loadouts for bots that they will use even when you have different items equipped!

What is Lorem Ipsum?Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.   Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia,
