Turns out there are yet more endless hordes of Skaven emerging from beneath the city streets, and your band of desperate heroes will again have to attempt to stem the tide in Warhammer: Vermintide 2.
You can’t kill a million evil rat men without some proper equipment, though, and that’s where the newly revamped weapon trait system comes into play. Below we’ve listed out all the possible traits and properties that can be added to your arsenal.
Important note: these traits are based on the closed beta version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 from before the game’s official launch date! They may have been tweaked, changed, or entirely removed from the full release version coming later this week. When the full game lands, we will get this article updated with newly updated info. If you see any traits with incorrect names or effects, let us know!
Many thanks are due to the fine folks over at the Vermintide subreddit for their hard work compiling all these traits and properties from across the beta releases!
