Look, it’s been a tough year. You’re stressed, you’re tired, you’ve got a whole lotta pent-up anger - so why not take it out on a few hundred fantasy ratmen? Riotous rodent-smasherWarhammer: Vermintide 2is currently free to player over on Steam ‘til November 1st, with the return of a limited-time anniversary mission sending our hopeless heroes on a pub crawl from hell.

There’s a few bonuses running alongside this free week, mind. It was Vermintide’s fifth anniversary this month, and acommunity challenge to murder 555,555,555 ratsis still ongoing. Playing just one mission will also earn you a stylish severed shark head to place upon your once, the unfortunately-named “Obese Megalodon”. Geddit?

The best bit, though, is the return of A Quiet Drink. I’d actually missed this anniversary mission first time ‘round, though it sounds a riot - our high-fantasy heroes pop off on a pub crawl through TheOld World, summoning hordes of rats and cultists and all sorts of nasties as they try to settle down for a pint. The characters being the best bit of Vermintide, it’s great to listen in on someproper drunk bantsbetween the five. An almost immediate highlight being Saltzpyre, unshakeable and unyieldingly suspicious Witch Hunter, making choo choo noises like the tanks wot he likes.
