Vermintide 2 – All Heroes Classes & Career Subclasses

February 26, 2018

12490

In this simple guide, we detail all the available Heroes and Careers in Vermintide 2. Think of it as a “class” and “subclass” system.

Unlocking Careers?

How are career paths unlocked? One is unlocked by default. The other two are unlocked at level 7 and 13 respectively for all heroes.

Is EXP shared?

Does leveling up a hero/career level up all other career subclasses? Yes. For example, if you reach level 25 Mercenary with Markus Kruber you will also be a level 25 Huntsman and Foot Knight. You’re essentially leveling up the HERO.

Differences between carreers?

What’s the difference between all the heroes and careers? Each hero and subclass combination have their own unique Passive Ability, Career Skill, and Talent Tree.

Vermintide 2 Heroes & Careers List

Quick list of each Hero, Career, Passive Ability, and Career Skill. Maybe I’ll soon add a little blurb about each ones “identity” – if that would help in tabs so it’s not so “scrolly”.
