  • One thing it didn’t mention, however, is how it will handle loot—and, more to the point, loot boxes. “We will NOT be selling loot boxes, or selling keys to unlock loot boxes,” community manager Fatshark_Hedge wrote during a Vermintide 2 reveal stream Q&A on Reddit. Completing side objectives means that better loot dice can be added to the roll.” Vermintide 2 promises more of the same in that regard, with “relevant loot … applicable to your chosen career” awarded to players at the end of a miss
